Stevie Wonder's, "It Ain't No Use"
The Lyrics:
There ain't no reason to force a smile, when pain is really in its place. 'Cause we know the truth, it ain't no use, let's part before we lose love's trace.
Why:
The harmonies sound cheerful, but it's about separation.

Stevie Wonder's, "My Cherie Amour"
The Lyrics:
My Cherie Amour, pretty as a summer's day.
My Cherie Amour, as distant as the Milky Way.
My Cherie Amour, as distant as the Milky Way.
Why:
The song has a dreamily romantic melody, but it is about a girl whose charms have the singer hopelessly spellbound while she hardly notices that he exists.
