Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Very superstitious, ladder's 'bout to fall
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeah
Ooh, very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
When you believe in things you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeah, yeah
Whoa, hey, hoo
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Very superstitious, the Devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past, mhm
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
Very superstitious, ladder's 'bout to fall

Can't remember who told me this because I don't think I imagined it, but I do believe this song was inspired by cultures in the world that turn their backs away from modern medicine and scientific method and continue to "believe in things that (you, him, it, we, they, etc.) don't understand (which I think is Stevie's definition of 'superstition')" and therefore "suffer" from, example, disease and sickness (that is curable with modern medicine) or, more importantly, fear (which causes us to suffer and except NO change)... "You don't want to save me"... Therefore, "...sad is MY (Stevie's and whoever else has felt like this...) song." ("Hey, hey, hey...!!!)
