smokey robinson - baby baby don t cry

Nothing so blue as a heart in pain
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain
Let him walk on out if he wants to
He really doesn't deserve you
His loss is our gain so don't be blue

Cause stone blind and out of his mind
Is what he has to be, yeah
So baby straighten up, come on and fly right
It's no catastrophe, yeah
And say now baby, baby don't cry

Baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby here's why
Love is here standing by
Love is here standing by

Too bad it was him that you trusted
Too bad but you can't be disgusted
It's time that you got readjusted
And realized that tear filled eyes
Can't stop him now
That man is on his way
I think he's gone to stay
You better drop him now, yeah

Oowee now, baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby here's why
Because love is here standing by
Love is here standing by
You trusted him and gave him your love
A love he proved unworthy of
Oh baby, oh baby all you've got to do
Is dry your eyes long enough to see

That you have found the love you thought
You had in him here in me
Love is hope girl, love is strength
Here's someone standing right beside you
Who would go to any length

To give you love true and deep
And hope you realize at last
You found a love that you can keep
And only losers weep
So standing by you, tears aren't shed in vain
I said so

smokey robinson - our love is here to stay

It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go

But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
Oh, but our love is here
Our love is here
But our love is here to stay
To stay

take a bride".

smokey robinson - i m glad there is you

In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you

In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm so glad there is you

I live to love, I love to live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll muddle through with you to guide me

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you

More than ever, I'm glad there is you

smokey robinson - cruisin

smokey robinson - a fork in the road

Beware
Beware
Beware

Seems like love should be easier to bear
But it's such a heavy load (A heavy load)
Worldwide traveler, you ain't been nowhere
Till you've traveled down love's road

I know I may be just a stranger (Just a stranger)
Lover, let me warn you there's the danger
Of the fork in love's road

Beware
The danger is there
Ho, ho, ho (Danger)

One way is for those who go along
That way tempts a girl like me
Oh, but lovers don't try to make it on your own (Don't try it, don't try it, don't try it)
You don't want the misery

Oh, oh, why didn't I see the sign
Ooh, ooh, before I left my love behind
At the fork in love's road
Beware
The danger is there
Ho, ho, ho

If there is some thing that you don't see eye to eye (Eye to eye)
You better think before you tell your love goodbye (Goodbye)
'Cause your path may never cross again
You make sure you take the same bend
At the fork in love's road, baby

Beware
The danger is there
Watch the fork in the road
You better beware
(The fork in the road)

Beware (Beware)
The danger's there (Beware)
Woo, hoo, hoo (Beware)
(The fork in the road)

The fork in love's road (Beware)
You better beware (Beware)

smokey robinson - night and day

(Cole Porter)

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall

Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so

That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day

Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

smokey robinson - money

smokey robinson - i don t blame you at all

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I'm only payin' the price for a trip I took to paradise
'Cause I looked into a pair of eyes
& what I thought was the look of love was only hurt in disguise
Too bad I didn't realize, oh but don't apologize, no, 'cause...

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should've did it myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I think it's pretty plain: holdin' you would take a ball & chain
Every bet I made was all in vain
'Cause what I thought was an ocean of love was just a wee drop of rain
Too bad that it couldn't rain, oh but you don't have to explain, no, 'cause...

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should've did it myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
That's the thing to do
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no

(instrumental)

I said, what I thought was sure to last, to last was just a minute instead
Too bad that I got misled, ah but you don't have to hang your head, no, 'cause...

I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should've did it myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
'Cause that's the thing to do
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
No no no no no
...& fade

smokey robinson - i can t find

Every now and then
Somebody comes into my life
Oh, and for a little while
It seems theyre the answer to my dreams
To my prayer

As sudden as they come
They start to fade
Like floating smoke rings
Oh, how can they stay with me when
Theyre only penciled in
Youre always there

So all my love
If you can find it in your heart
To do just one thing for me
Come back (Come back), come back (Come back)
Come back (Come back), come back

I dont wanna look
When I know where
Just what I need is
Oh, honey, youve got it with you
So what else can I do
But come to you, my love and say

Take me in your arms
Hold me close
I need to feel you

Oh, to me theres nothin like your touch
Its what I need so much
Oh, yes, I do, my love

So if you feel the need
To ever be with me again
Dont let another moment pass
Come back (Come back), come back (Come back)
Come back (Come back), come back

(I cant find) My way to a very special somewhere
(I cant find) Myself cause without you, Im just out there
(I cant find) That person I wanna put that much in
(I cant find) Anybody like you who makes touchin more than touchin

Ive been lookin
Theres just nobody around, ooh
No sense lookin
For who can never be found

Mmm...

So if you feel the need
To ever be with me again
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Come back (Come back), come back (Come back)
Come back (Come back), come back

(I cant find) Sleep at night, Im either watchin TV or walkin
(I cant find) Any conversation that means more to me than talkin
(I cant find) Satisfaction even when I do surrender
(I cant find) Anybody like you who makes tender more than tender

Ive been lookin
Theres just nobody around, oh
No sense lookin
For who can never be found, oh, oh...

(I cant find) Anybody like you who gets my full attention
(I cant find) Anybody who means enough for me to mention
(I cant find) That person

smokey robinson - i second that emotion

Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey's worse than none at all

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion

So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Ooh

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Maybe you think that loves only for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl
In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion

So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion

So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Oh, little girl
I second that emotion
FADES-
Ooo little girl I ...
