He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

The Tears of a Clown
--------------------
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
Now if there's a smile on my face,
it's only there tryin' to fool the public,
but when it comes down to foolin' 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.
I'm sadder than sad.
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad.
Like a clown I pretend to be glad.
(chorus)
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.
Now if I appear to be carefree,
it's only to camouflage my sadness.
In order to SHIELD my pride I try
to cover the 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.
(chorus)
Just like Pagliacci did,
I try to keep my sadness hid.
smilin' in the public eye
while in my lonely room I cry
the tears of a clown

(spoken)
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."
(sung)
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 woh-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
wind's 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) woh-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 shes in love
a with you now
My mama told me
(you better shop around)
(instrumental)
Oh-hey-hey-hey
(ooooh)
Try to get yourself a bargain son
Don't be sold on the very first one
(First one, first one)
A-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)
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
My mama told me
You better shop around
(Shop, shop around)
Uh-huh don`t let the
first one get you
(Shop, shop around)
Oh no, cause I don't
wanna see her with you
(Uh-huh) before you let
'em hold you tight
A yeah-yeah make
sure she's alright
Uh-huh
Before you let 'em take
your hand my son
Understand my son
Be a man my son
I know you can my son

la la la la
I did you wrong
my heart went out to play
But in the game
I lost you
What a price to pay
I'm cryin'
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Mistakes, I know
I've made a few
But I'm only human
you've made mistakes too
Im cryin'
Ooh baby baby
Ooh 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 feel that one day
I'll hold you near
whisper "I still love you"
Until that day is here
ooh, I'm crying
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby

Alright, is everybody ready
Alright now, here we go

Chorus:
(I,I,)I'm just a love machine and I won't work for nobody but you
(I,I )I'm just a love machine .............. A hugging kissing fiend
Verse # 1
I think it's high time you knew
Whenever I think of you
My mind blows a fuse
When I lookIn your eyes
My meter starts to rise
And I become confused
My motor cranked electric goes
When I'm sitting next to you
Electricity starts to flow
And my indicator starts to glow
Repeat chorus
Verse#2
I'm gentle as a lamb
I'm not that hard to program
There's no way that you can lose
Chassis fits like a glove
I've got a button for love
That you've got to use (push it push it baby)
If you look into my power
I am sure you can find out how
To turn me on just set my dial
And let me love you for a little while ooooooh
Repeat chorus
La... La la la la..... La la la la.. La la
La la la la la.. La la la.... La la laaaaaaaaa
Push it push it baby, yeah......ah, ah
Repeat chorus

I will build you a castle with a tower so high
It reaches the moon
I'll gather melodies from birdies that fly
And compose you a tune
I'll give you lovin' warm as Mama's oven
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
I will take you away with me as far as I can
To Venus or Mars
There we will love with your hand in my hand
You'll be queen of the stars
And every day we can play on the Milky Way
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea
To wear in your hair
I'll do anything and everything to keep you happy
To show you that I care
I'll pretend I'm jealous of all the fellas
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
I'll take the stars and count 'em and move a mountain
And if that don't do I'll try something new
I'll tell the moon above it's you that I love
If it don't do I'll try something new...

Oh you may not love me now, but I'm stayin' around
'Cause you want my company
Just like push can turn to shove, like can turn to love
& it's my philosophy that...
CHORUS:
If you can want, you can need
& if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Oh now this may take some time, but if time was money
I would be a millionaire
So whenever you want me, call any time at all
& for sure I'll be right there, 'cause...
(chorus)
(I'll be there) whenever you want me
(instrumental)
I'll be standin' by, not far way
Let your heart give me a sign
'Cause I'm prepared to wait until I abfiducate
When you want me all the time, 'cause...
(repeat & fade):
(chorus)
(I'll be there) whenever you want me

Clap your hands now everybody
we're gonna have some fun tonight
we're gonna sing, shout, knock ourselves out
everything's gonna be alright (alright)
Now let the bassman start playin',
he's gonna come in right on time
he's gonna add a beat to make you pat your feet
everything's gonna work out fine (work out fine)
And he can say I like it like that (I like it like that)
I like it like that (I like it like that)
oh, that's where it's at and I like it like that
Now after a man finds hisself a woman
she doesn't have to be a beauty queen
and then she holds you tight, she makes you feel alright
any man that I've ever seen
He's got to say, I like it like that (I like it like that)
oh, I like it like that (oh, I like it like that)
oh, that, I'm trying to tell you (oh, that's where it's at, that's where

I like it like that (I like it like that)
Now I know why my mama, taught me to be true
She just a know one day that you would come my way
and I would fall in love with you
And you could say I like it like that (I like it like that)
oh, I like it like that (oh, I like it like that)
(oh, that's (I'm trying to tell you)where it's at, that's where it's at,
oh that's where it's at) Everybody sing now (fade)(that's where it's at)

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

so you need a pull-out
get me mickeys and corona

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry, each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve, in private
Cause each time that I see you, I break down and cry
Walk on by, walk on by (don't stop), just walk on by (don't stop)
Coz I just can't get over losing you
And if I seem, broken and blue
Walk on by (just walk on by), walk on by (just walk on by)
Foolish pride, is all I have left
So let me hide the tears and all the sadness
That you gave me when you said goodbye
And walked on by (don't stop), and walked on by (don't stop),
Just walk on by, just walk on by
Walk on by (just walk on by, walk on by (just walk on by)
Foolish pride is all I have left
So let me hide these tears and all the sadness
That you gave me when you said goodbye
Just walk on by (don't stop), just walk on by (don't stop)
Now you really gotta go so walk on by
Said you really gotta go so walk on by
Baby leave me never see the tears I cry

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion -
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights -
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after -
Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said -
Then you say - go slow -
I fall behind -
The second hand unwinds
[Chorus:]
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time -
[Chorus]
You said go slow -
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds -
[Chorus]
If you're lost...
...Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

You may dismiss me as unimportant.
A guy who's only in the corner of your eye.
Right now I know I'm just a?
I'm just an easy friend on whom you can depend.
But darling, there will come a day,
Oh, when you look at me, my baby, another way.
While you're relaxing, I'm gonna happen to you.
Oohhhh.
Oh baby, oh baby.
Ewwww ohhh ohh baby.
Yeah.
I only see you in little glimpses.
We work together in a world of?
I'm only dreamin' of champagne kisses.
You pass right by me, honey.
But girl, there will come a day, baby,
When you look at me, my baby, another way.
While you're relaxing, I'm gonna happen to you.
You, you...
There will come a great big day, yeah,
When you look at me, my baby, another way.
There will come day, baby.
Look at me, look at me...
There will come a time, baby,
When I'll be yours, you'll be mine, baby.

Midnight sun, shining through my darkest night
Noonday shadow, blocking out my morning light
You don't even know What I'm talking about
It's what you do when you're just being you
How can you be daylight & darkness, at the same time, oh baby
How can you be daylight & darkness, at the same time
Flaming candle hey, burning in your sweet desire
Eyes of coal, hard to handle
Back and forward from ice to fire
You don't even know what you're putting me through
With all these bitter sweet things that you do
How can you bee daylight & darkness, at the same time, oh
How can you be daylight & darkness at the same time
O baby, oh baby
You don't even know what I'm talking about
It's just your way baby, that's what you say
How can you be daylight & darkness... same time
How can you be daylight & darkness, at the same time
Ah daylight, daylight, daylight... daylight
Ooo hoo, darkness, darkness, darkness... time
How can you be daylight & darkness, at the same time
Same time, same time, my baby

Hmm, hmm, yeah
Special occasion
Like when you dress up in your tie and tails
Yeah, yeah, special occasion
Every time and it never fails
To give me a thrill that's fresh and new
Every time I'm kissing you
It's something that you do
That makes every time you kiss me
A real special occasion
Like one that calls for a toast of champagne
Yeah, yeah, yeah, special occasion
Every time and it's hard to explain
How the same old touch from the same old hand
Can make me feel like a different man
I just can't understand
But every time you touch me
It's a real special occasion
Yeah, yeah special occasion
Oh, oh yeah, hmm hmm, yeah
Ooh, beautiful music begins to play
You are the sun that brightens up my day
Why don't you stay? 'Cause every time I'm with you
It's a real special occasion
Like when in school you get your cap and gown
Yeah, now it's a real special occasion
And every time that you come around

Really gonna miss you
It's really gonna be different without you
Time came when you had to go
For the rest of my life
Gonna be thinking about you
(Yes, I am)
I'll miss you my buddy
I'll miss you my friend
I promise my love for you will never end
In your finest hour, I was there with you
And without you things won't be the same
But there's a higher power that we answer to
And you heard Him calling your name
Really gonna miss you
Everything about you, your smiling face
I know you want us all to be strong
Really gonna miss you
I know you're going to that magic place
Singing you a brand new song
I'll miss you my buddy
I'll miss you my friend
I promise my love for you will never end

Soft and warm a quiet storm
Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn, break of dawn
A power source of tender force generatin', radiatin'
Turn me on, turn them on
You short-circuit all my nerves
Promising electric things
You touch me and suddenly there's rainbow rings
Quiet storm, blowin' through my life
Oh, quiet storm, blowin' through my life
Oh, blow baby
Windy sigh, weaken my
Butterfly caught up in a hurricane, hurricane
Lucky me, I'm better free
Suddenly I'm caught up in your somber rain
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons let it pour and never stop
Quiet storm, blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm, blowin' through my life
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons let it pour and never stop
Quiet storm, blowin' through my life, through my life
You're just like a quiet storm, blowin' through my life

Strollin' down the lane at midnight
Old fashioned love
Steal a little kiss in the moonlight
Old fashioned love
You're the love of my life
The girl of my dreams
I count on youYou can count on me
We got an old fashioned love
It's so hard to find
This one of a kind
Old fashioned love
Gotta be true to each other
Old fashioned love
Never hurt one another
Old fashioned love
Just like in the movies
But we're not pretending
Always and forever
Our love's one happy ending
We got an old fashioned love
It's so hard to find
This one of a kind

Look what you've done
You made a fool out of someone
(Out of someone)
You thought love was true
And found out that you we're just having fun
(Just having fun)
And oh, why do you wanna make me blue
After all, I've been good to you
(I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have
And I recall the time
You needed someone and I made you mine
You needed a friend
So I took you in and treated you so kind
And on, why do you wanna make me blue
After, after all, I've been good to you
(I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have
And you know I've always been around
And I never, never, never let you down
And now you're telling me that you must go
You know that you're hurting me so
But there, there come a time
One day, one day, one day you gonna wake up and find
You'll come back to me on your bending knee
And you're gonna be crying
And oh, believe me, what I say is true, baby
After all, Lord I've been good to you
(I've been good to you)
Everyday and every way
(I've been good to you)
You know, you know, you know, baby
I've been so good

I'm on the outside looking in
And I wanna be, and I wanna be back on the inside with you
You are with somebody new and I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm still in love with you
I'm on the outside looking in
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be left on the outside all alone
Well, I guess I've had my day and you let me go my way
Now it's me who has to pay
I never should have gone away
I never should have gone away and left you like I did
With tears in your eye, oh, I thought you'd take me back
But to my surprise
I'm on the outside looking in
Gotta find a way, gotta find a way back to your heart, dear, once again
Won't you take me back again? I'll be waiting here till then
On the outside looking in
Won't you take me back again? I'll be waiting here till then
On the outside looking in

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

Maybe you want to
give me kisses sweet
But only for one
night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away
and never call
And a taste of honey is
worse than none at all
(oh little girl)
(chorus)
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 loving me
if you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Maybe you think that love
would tie you down
You ain't got the
time to hang around
Maybe you think that
love was made for fools
So it makes you wise
to break the rules
(chorus)
Maybe you want to
give me kisses sweet
But only for one
night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away
and never call
And a taste of honey is
worse than none at all
(oh little girl)
(chorus)
Maybe you think that love
would tie you down
You ain't got the
time to hang around
Maybe you think that
love was made for fools
So it makes you wise
to break the rules

Love love love you baby

Diamond bracelets Woolworth ain't gonna sell to you baby
Til the lucky day you know darn well baby

People say I'm the life of the party
'cause 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
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
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I 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..
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

What's it all about this crazy love
How did our two worlds entwine?
How do I fit into your life
How did you get into mine?
I belong to someone else we know
Back when first we met
Oh, we thought for fun
One night together might be nice
Oh, but fun turned into love for both of us
So now we pay forbidden lover's price
Oh, 'cause love like ours is never, ever free
You pay some agony for the ecstasy
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy, oh oh
Nights when you're alone, you know that I
Laid with someone else beside me
Oh, but you love me still and I love you
You know I would no matter where I'd be
Hey, but love like ours is never, ever free
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free
We got to pay some agony if we wanna have ecstasy, oh
Hey, got to pay some agony
If we wanna have an ecstasy, yeah
And we need each other desperately, don't we, baby?
And I'll never from you be free, no no
So you'll have to do the leavin' me, yeah
And you'll have to do the leavin' me, oh baby
'Cause I'm gonna pay the agony, yeah
'Cause, oh, lovin' you is ecstasy, that's what it is

Ooh, baby
Uh-huh
Two hearts, two of a kind
Love at first sight, why do they say love is blind
Slow down, we don't have to move fast
Cause the love that is real is made to last
Take it one heartbeat at a time
Close your eyes and let your soul unwind
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love
If we take it one heartbeat at a time
One heartbeat
Ooh...
We paint a picture walkin down the street
Leaves are fallin, baby, so are we
Hand in hand, that's the way it shoud be
How could somethin so easy make me feel so complete
Take it one heartbeat at a time
Close your eyes and let your soul unwind
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love
If we take it one heartbeat at a time
One heartbeat
Take it easy, ooh
I want o feel your every emotion
Shh...don't talk
And well makin love in slow motion
Ooh...slow motion, baby
Ooh...slow motion, baby
Take it one heartbeat at a time
Close your eyes and let your soul unwind
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love
If we take it one heartbeat at a time
One heartbeat
One heartbeat at a time (Slow motion, baby)
One heartbeat (Oh, slow motion, baby)
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love
If we take it one heartbeat
One heartbeat (Yeah)
One heartbeat (Ooh, baby)
Sooner or later it'll all fall in love

Let it be soon, don't hesitate
Make it now, don't wait
Open your heart & let my love come in
I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart with...
CHORUS:
More love, more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
My love will be so sound
It would take about 100 lifetimes
To live it down, wear it down, tear it down
This is no fiction, this is no act
This is real, it's a fact
I'll always belong only to you
Each day I'll be living to make sure I'm giving you...
(chorus)
As we grow older no need to fear
When you need me I'll be here
I'll be beside you every step of the way
A heart that's truthful & keeping you youthful with...

This is the right time, if you've been confused
It's in a lifetime, it's up to you to choose
So much happening, still you have a choice
He gave you his word, and if you hear his voice
Love will set you free (love will set you free)
Love will set you free (love will set you free)
Weary of wonder, imprisoned in your doubt
Love and thunder, your heart is crying out
Don't you know that now you're standing
In the danger zone (in the danger zone)
But love won't leave you, to ever stand alone
Love will set you free (love will set you free)
He said, come follow me and where we go
(Come follow me and where we go)
You can reap every dream you sow
(You can reap every dream you sow)
Nothing's impossible, when you believe
Come follow me and you'll be free
(Free free, free free)
Folloooooow, follow follow
Folloooooow, follow
Well sometimes, sunshine (sometimes sunshine)
Can be cold and gray (cold and gray)
But love will warm you, let them lead the way
Love will set you free (Free free, free free)
He said come follow me and where we go
(Come follow me and where we go)
You can reap every dream you sow
(You can reap every dream you sow)
Nothing's impossible, when you believe
Come follow me and you'll be free
(Free free, free free)

Just to see her
Just to touch her
Just to hold her in my
arms again one more time
If I could feel her warm embrace
see her smiling face
Can't find anyone to take her place
I've got to see her again
I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
just to see her again
I can't hide it
I can't fight it
It's so hard to live without
the love she gave to me
Doesn't she know it?
I tried hard not to show it
Can't I make her realize that
she really needs me again?
I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
just to see her again
She brightened up my everyday
made me feel so good in every way
If I could have her back to stay

I've made love to you a thousand times,
Even if it's only in my mind
I've made love to you a thousand ways
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
It's so real, when I dream about you
I can feel you in the morning
All day long the feeling of my dream
Comes on me without warning
I'm standing there, and suddenly
There you are all over me
I've made love to you a thousand times,
Even if it's only in my mind
I've made love to you a thousand ways
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
Let it be, let it really happen
Set me free form loves desire
And if my imagination is any indication
Then of your love I'll never tire
Oh, hold me close, kiss me sweet,
And repeat and repeat and repeat
And after I've made love to you a thousand times
And after I've made love to you a thousand ways
I'm gonna gonna keep on with the real thing
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
I've made love to you a thousand times,
Even if it's only in my mind
I've made love to you a thousand ways
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
Then I wanna keep on with the real thing
Keep on with the real thing
Keep on keep on keep on with the real thing
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
For a thousand nights and a thousand nights
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
For a thousand nights and a thousand nights
For a thousand nights and a thousand days
For a thousand nights and a thousand nights

I waited till I saw the sun,
Don't know why I didn't come.
I left you by the house of fun,
Don't know why I didn't come,
Don't know why I didn't come.
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away,
Instead of kneeling in the sand,
Catching teardrops in my hand.
My heart is drenched in wine.
You'll be on my mind--forever.
I Would cross the angry sea,
Die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone,
My heart is drenched in wine.
You'll be on my mind forever.
Something has to make you run
Don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
Don't know why I didn't come,
Don't know why I didn't come,

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
Just release & you will find
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
Cruise with me baby
Cruise
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
The music is played for love
Cruisin' is made for (love)
I love it, I love it, I love it

(chorus)
I don't care what
they think about me and
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
(chorus)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
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
(chorus)
Being with you (you)
Being with you, ooh
(Being with you)
I don't care about anything else
but being with you
being with you
Being with you (you)
Being with you, ooh
(Being with you)
I don't care about anything else
but being with you
being with you

Famous quotes by Smokey Robinson:

"Being With You."

"I played golf all over Detroit."

"We're all going to be victims of temptation at several points in our lives."

"I don't ever balk at being considered a Motown person, because Motown is the greatest musical event that ever happened in the history of music."

"Even if I don't release it myself, somebody else might hear it and want to record it. When you write a song, it gives it that potential."

"As a kid, this is what I wanted my life to be. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever dare to dream that it would be this."

"There are very few courses around Detroit I haven't played."

"I really haven't strayed too far, musically, from my roots."

"Once you're a Motown artist, you're always a Motown artist."

"People still look at Michael Jackson as being a Motown artist."

"Once you're a Motown artist, that's your stigmatism, and I was there from the very first day."

"Motown will always be a heavy-duty part of my life because those are my roots."

"I left Motown because of the regime of people who were there."

"One thing I can say about the Motown acts is that we were a family. That's not a myth."

"Drugs are in every walk of life - doctors, lawyers, preachers, the guy who works for IBM, teenagers on the street, teenagers in school."

"So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how I approached it - only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God."

"We're very physical creatures, and we worry about how we look sometimes more than our spiritual selves."

"The only thing you're taking out of here is your spirit and your soul, so we need to be conscious to try and develop that part of ourselves, because we're all spiritual creatures."

"I've been speaking at churches for years, as well as juvenile jails, rehabs and hospitals, and I always talk about my faith. That is a declaration of my relationship with God."

"As human beings, we're very materialistic and have all this stuff - furs and cars and diamonds and money."
