This wonderful Stevie Wonder song is about two people of different races falling in love with each other and being ostracized in their respective communities because their love is deemed unacceptable.
It is based off of a movie "JUNGLE FEVER" (the soundtrack which Stevie Wonder performs all of the songs for) directed by Spike Lee and starring Wesley Snipes. He's a married Black man who has an affair with a white woman and the whole town's a-talkin'.
This is a great song.
I esp. love the line "'Cause we've got happiness/I bet you're pissed".
It speaks to me because when I was younger, I was chastised for liking men who were not of my race. I know now that the people who were judging me were wrong.
