Lyrics I Gave Up Quality For Quantity - Stevie Wonder

I Gave Up Quality For Quantity

You’re such a sweet thing
You’re so fine
You’re just as pretty on the inside
As you are outside
To think that you were mine
And when some other girls start hanging around
Like a fool I went and put you down
I gave up quality for quantity
Gave up quality for quantity
And now I’m sad and blue
Because I put them all together
And they don’t equal just one you
(Just one you, just one you)
You gave me all your love
With a gentle touch (With a gentle touch)
How could I have given up one girl
For five times as many
And still not have as much?
They say that a bird in the hand
Is worth ten in the bush
And since I gave you up for them
You don’t know how I wish
I hadn’t gave up quality for quantity
Gave up quality for quantity
And now I’m sad and blue
Because I put them all together
And they don’t equal just one you
(Just one you, just one you)
Little old you
Oh, baby, now, you’ve got a certain quality
That only diamonds possess
The rest are like costume jewelry
You’re the best (You're the best)
Baby, I confess (I confess)
I never should have gave up quality for quantity
Gave up quality for quantity
And now I’m sad and blue
Because I put them all together
And they don’t equal just one you
(Just one you, just one you)
Whoa, I shouldn’t have gave
Gave up quality for quantity
Tell me why did I give up quality for quantity
I never should have gave up
