Smokey Robinson

Anytime you're feeling lonely
And you need me, I'll be at home
Doesn't matter what I am doing
Call me up on the telephone
I'll pacify, try to take away every problem, baby, oh...
I'm sympathetic and you can cry on my shoulder, baby

If you want my love, I'll be around
Oh, yes, I will
If you want my love, I'll be around
You know I will

Don't you run when you've got someone
Who understands when you're not yourself
It's no fun, seems like just one tear
Can make the time when there's no one else
I might not have a PH degree in psychology, oh, baby
But I recognize what's behind your instantaneously
Instantaneously

If you want my love, I'll be around
Oh, yes, I will
If you need my love, I'll be around
You know I will

Baby, baby, baby, oh, baby
If you need me, I'll be around
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
Oh, baby, oh...

If you want my love, I'll be around
Oh, yes, I will, baby
If you need my love, I'll be around
You know I will

Baby, anytime, anyplace, anywhere

If you want my love, I'll be around
Oh, yes, I will, baby
If you need my love, I'll be around
You know I will...

Arguably the greatest songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century, Robinson’s timeless creations for Motown, both for his own group and for other artists, provided the ultimate example of what a pop song can be. From The Beatles to Bob Dylan, the rest of the 60s followed in his wake

As if that wasn’t enough, he created a whole new genre in the mid-70s with “quiet storm”, a radio format named after one of his songs. He continues writing and performing today.
