Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

Oh yeah yeah yeah

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Really I'm sad, oh I'm sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad

Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown, when there's no one around
Uh hum, oh yeah baby

Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Decided to go, oh I need you so
I'm hurt and I want you to know
But for others I put on a show, ooh yeah

Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown, when there's no one around
Uh hum, oh yeah baby

Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the public eye
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around, oh yeah, baby baby

Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
When really I'm sad and I'm hurting so bad

Cruisin' by Smokey Robinson

Baby let's cruise, away from here
Don't be confused, the way is clear

And if you want it you got it forever
This is not a one night stand, baby, yeah so
Let the music take your mind, ooh
Just release & you will find

You're gonna fly away
Glad you're goin' my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is played for love
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

Baby tonight belongs to us
Everything's right, do what you must

And inch by inch we get closer & closer
To every little part of each other ooh baby, yeah so
Let the music take your mind
Just release & you will find

You're gonna fly away
Glad you're going my way

The music is played for love,
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

Cruise with me baby

Baby let's cruise
Let's flow, let's glide
Ooooh let's open up and go inside

And if you want it you got it forever
I can just stay there inside you
And love you baby
Let the music take your mind
Just release and you will find

You're gonna fly (away)
Yeah, I'm glad you're going my way
I love it, when we're cruisin together

Tracks of my Tears by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
(Do do, do do do do)

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' 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
Seemin' like I'm havin' 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, uh-huh
You see my smile (looks out of place)
Yeah, look a little bit closer
It's easy to trace, oh the tracks of my tears

Oh-ho-ho-ho I need you (need you)
Need you (need you)

Hey hey -yeah
(Outside) i'm masquerading
(Inside) all my hope is fading
(Im just a clown) ooo-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, uh-huh
You see my smile looks (out of place)
Yeah, just look closer it's easy (to trace)
Oh, the tracks of my tears

Baby, baby, baby, baby
Take a good look at (my face)
Ooo, yeah you see my smile (looks out of place)
Look a little bit closer (it's easy to trace)
Yeah, the tracks of my tears, oh yeah
Baby, take a good look ....

Ebony Eyes by Smokey Robinson & Rick James

Wind in your hair, sun on your skin
You're looking good, girl, all over again
Hey there, Miss Brown
I want you to know I love you

Brown as the sand, you're soft as the shore
You're leaving me hungry, I'm crying for more
Ooh, we, baby, girl, you're such a score
And I want you to know that, you know what, girl

Lips soft and tender, ready to speak
Her voice says, 'I love you' (I love you) and it's making me weak
Hey there, little girl, may I just say I love you
Tell 'em how you feel, Rick

Love is the brown skin girl in my eyes
Think it's time that I told you, don't you realize
You're such a queen, woman, you're such a prize
And I want you to know that, you know what, girl

Being With You by Smokey Robinson
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"
They tell me you love me and then let me go
I've 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 blind
Do 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
I wanna be with you

My Girl by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May

I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way

My girl (my girl, my girl ooh)
Talkin' bout my girl
(My girl)

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees

Well, I guess you say
What can make me feel this way

My girl (my girl, my girl ooh)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl

Ooh
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooh yeah

I don't need no money
Fortune or fame
I've got all the riches baby
One man can claim

Well, I guess you say
What can make me feel this way

My girl (my girl, my girl, ooh)
Talkin' bout my girl
My Girl
Talkin' bout my girl

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl, I even got the month of May
My girl
Talkin' bout
Talkin' bout
My girl
Talkin' bout my girl

Shop Around by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

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 (man, now)
There's still some things that you don't understand now (son, now)
Before you ask some girl for her hand now (my son)
'Keep your freedom for as long as you can now'

My mama told me, 'You better shop around'
(Shop, shop around) a whoa-yeah
You better (uh-huh) shop around
(Shop-shop around)

Uh-uh-uh

''There's some things that I want you to know now' (uh-huh-ooo)
'A just as sure as the winds gonna blow now' (uh-huh-ooo)
'The women come and the women gonna go now' (uh-huh-ooo)
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now

My mama told me, 'You better shop around'
(Shop, shop around) whoa-yeah
You better (uh-huh) shop around
(Shop, shop around)

'A gotta get yourself a bargain son'
'Don't be sold on the very first one'
'Pretty girls come a dime a dozen'
'A-try to find one who's gonna give ya true lovin' (uh-huh-ooo)

'Before you take a girl and say 'I do, now' (uh-huh)
'A make sure she's in love a with you now'
My mama told me, ('you better shop around')

'Before you take a girl and say, 'I do' now' (uh-huh)
'Make sure she's in love with-a you now' (uh-huh)
'Make sure that her love is true now' (uh-huh)
'I'd hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now'
