Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)

Perhaps burned by mendacious agents and conniving record companies, Mr. Wonder enjoys discussing formalities of legal contracts in his music, and there is no finer example than his R&B standard Signed, Sealed, Delivered, which addresses not only exchange traded derivatives but also the formalities of correctly creating documenting them as obligations under a deed.

We got [a] future, future, baby

Signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours

Here I am, baby, whoa-oh

(Signed, sealed, delivered) I’m yours

etc etc etc
