        Syreeta is the debut studio album by American R&B and soul singer and songwriter Syreeta Wright, released on June 20, 1972, on MoWest, a subsidiary of Motown Records.

     The self-titled debut album was produced by Wright's ex-husband, frequent collaborator and musician Stevie Wonder; it was released following the former couple's separation and subsequent divorce. The album featured compositions by both Wonder and Wright, and also featured Wright's takes on other artists' songs. This included a Wonder-produced, funk-oriented version of his earlier recording, "I Love Every Little Thing About You", which was initially recorded by Wonder for his Music of My Mind project, released earlier that year.

      Wonder and Wright used the talk box prominently on Wright's cover of the Beatles' "She's Leaving Home" while Wright provided a smoother vocal take of Smokey Robinson's "What Love Has Joined Together." Wright wrote the ballad "Happiness" and she and Stevie co-wrote "Baby Don't You Let Me Lose This," and their featured duet "To Know You Is to Love You" together. The album failed to generate success, though Wright would go on to a productive solo career throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Wright and Wonder continued working together for several decades.

Verse 1}

Oh, they say you're not my friend

You've been through thick and thin

And for that, little boy, I love you

And all I want to do is talk about you

I'm here to say I love you more each day

And I just want to tell the world that I love you so, sugar

 

{Verse 2}

Though they put me down because

I love you as much as I do

But they don't know what you've done for me

You made such a happy girl out of me

I'm here to say I love you more each day, yeah

I just want to tell the world that I love you so

 

{Chorus}

Well I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

What you gonna do about that, brother?

Nothing

 

{Verse 3}

Oh, they say that I am wrong

'Cause my love is strong

There's only one that l place above you

I forever place God above anyone and even you

I'm here to say I love you more every day, yeah

I just want to tell the world that I love you so, baby

 

{Bridge}

Some might say it's strange (well, well, well) but my whole life you've changed

You saved all the pain the world's put on me

And all I want to do is talk about how happy I am

I'm here to say I love you more every day

I just want to tell the world that I love you so yeah

 

{Outro}

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Well I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Thank God for your lovin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Thank God for your kissin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Thank God for your lovin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every littte thing about you baby

Didn't know what I was missin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Thank God for your lovin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

You're the one I love, everything about your love

Everything about your love I love

You're the one I love.
