Smokey Robinson [보컬,프로듀서]

I don't care what they think about me
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay
I don't care if they start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
But being with you being with you

Honey don't go don't leave this scene
Be out of the picture and off of the screen
Don't let them say we told you so
Don't tell me you love me and then let me go
I heard the warning voice
From friends and my relation
They tell me all about your heart-break reputation

I don't care what they think about me
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay
I don't care if they start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
But being with you being with you

People can change they always do
Haven't they noticed the changes in you
Or can it be that like love I am blindDo I want it so much 'til it's all in my mind
One thing I know for sure
Is really really real
I never felt before the way you make me feel

I don't care what they think about me
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they think if you're leaving
I'm gonna beg you to stay
I don't care if they start to avoid me
I don't care what they do
I don't care about anything else
But being with you being with you
Being with you being with you

Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no
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

I don't like you, but I love you,
Seems that I'm always thinking of you.
Oh, oh, oh, you treat me badly,
I love you madly, you really got a hold on me.
You really got a hold on me, baby,
I don't want you, but I need you,
Don't want to kiss you, but I need you.
Oh, oh, oh, you do me wrong now,
My love is strong now you really got a hold on me.
You really got a hold on me, baby,
I love you and all I want you to do is just hold me,
Hold me, hold me, hold me.
I want to leave you, don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend another day here.
Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now, I can't Baby,
I love you and all I want you to do is just hold me,
Hold me, hold me, hold me.

You really got a hold on me.
You really got a hold on me.
You really got a hold on me.

You really got a hold on me.
You really got a hold on me.

When I became of age my mother called me to her side,
she said,"Son, you're growing up now pretty soon you'll take a bride.
And then she said, "Just because you've become a young man now,
there's still somethings that you don't understand now;
before you ask some girl for her hand now
keep your freedom for as long as you can now."

My mama told me, "You better shop around,
Oh yeah, you better shop around."
(shop, shop around)

Ah, there's somethings that I want you to know now.
Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
women come and the women gonna go, now
before you tell em that you love em so now.

My mama told me, "You better shop around,
Oh yeah, you better shop around."
(shop, shop around)

A-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.
Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
make sure she's in love with-a you now.
My mama told me, "You better shop around."

Oo yeah, A-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.
Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
make sure she's in love with-a you now.
Make sure that her love is true now.
I hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now."
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
(shop around)
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
(shop around)
My mama told me, "You better shop around.

Oh, now this may take some time, but if time was money
I would be a millionare
So whenever you want me call, any time at all
& for sure I'll be right there, 'cause
If you can want, you can need
& if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
& as soon as you want me I'll be there

I'll be standin' by, not far way
Let your mind give me a sign
'Cause I'm prepared to wait until that future date
When you'll want me all the time, 'cause

If you can want, you can need

Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing

This cat named Mickey came from out of town, yea!
He was spreading a new dance all around
In just a matter of a few days, yea!
His dance became the new teenage craze.

When the people see him dancing,
They begin to see,
To see this cat do that monkey thing.
It's really something to see,
This cat named Mickey
Doing the monkey.

Come on, Let's do Mickey's monkey, children,
Yea, let's do Mickey's monkey, children
Lum di lum di lie
Lum di lum di lie
Lum di lum di lie
Lum di lum di lie
Lum di lum di lie
Lum di lum di lie
Lum di lum di lie

Oh,
Monkey see, monkey do,
Come on, you can do the monkey, children
Yea, you're doing Mickey's monkey, children,
Do the monkey, Mickey's monkey
Oh, do the monkey, Mickey's monkey
Mickey's monkey

Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Let it be soon, don't hesitate, make love, don't wait.
Open your heart and let my love come in.
I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart
with more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.

This is no fiction, this no act,
This is real, it's a fact.
I'll always belong only to you.
And each day I'll be living to
Make sure I'm giving you more love and more joy
than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.

As we grow older, no need to fear,
'Cause when you need me I'll be here.
I'll be beside you every step of the way.
A heart that's truthful, and is keeping it youthful
With more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.

Oh I'm gonna give you
more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,
wear it down, tear it down.

Oh I'm gonna give you
more love and more joy than age or time could ever destroy.
Oh honey now, my love will be so sound,
gonna take about a hundred lifetimes to live it down,

Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing

People say
I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be
laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile
looks out of place
If you look closer
it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you need you
need you need you
Since you left me if you see me
with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile
looks out of place
look a little bit closer
it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you need you
need you need you

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you
baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile
looks out of place
yeah just look closer
easy the tracks of my tears
baby baby baby baby
take a good look at woo
can you see my smile
look a little bit closer yeah

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo,
Yesterday we made future plans
She loved me I could tell
Can today be that tomorrow that we planned so well?

Yester baby Ill never forget her
Though tomorrow might bring me one better
Today Ill be on my away to love my yester love
Today Ill go on my way to love my yester love oh oh

Yesterday I felt a tender kiss upon my face

Now the day is gone and theres a tear drop in its place

Oh yester kisses that I used to treasure
Now youre given some other lips pleasure

Today Im on my way dreamin of my yester love
Today Ill go on my way dreamin of my yester love, oh

Yester is, the prefix, that we fix, to things that have gone by
Forever they say, yeah even though my yester love
Has slipped through my fingers I find it still lingers
In my heart today-ay-ay

Yesterday I thought I had a love to call my own

No one could have told me that today Id be alone
Oh oh yes the sweetness today has gone sour
Seemin further away with each hour
Today Ill go on my way dreamin of all my yester love
Today Ill go on my way dreamin of my yester love
Today Ill go on my way dreamin of my yester love...

my heart went out to play & in the game
I lost you what a price to pay
I'm cryin'
Oooh Baby Baby

Mistakes I know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too
I'm cryin'
Oooh Baby Baby

I'm just about at the end of my rope
But I can't stop tryin'
I can't give up hope
'Cause I'll be here
And someday I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you
Until that day is here
I'm cryin'
Oooh Baby Baby
