Smokey Robinson

Every now and then
Somebody comes into my life
Oh, and for a little while
It seems they're 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
They're only penciled in
You're 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 don't wanna look
When I know where
Just what I need is
Oh, honey, you've 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 there's nothin like your touch
It's what I need so much
Oh, yes, I do, my love

So if you feel the need
To ever be with me again
Don't let another moment pass
Come back (Come back), come back (Come back)
Come back (Come back), come back

(I can't find) My way to a very special somewhere
(I can't find) Myself ?cause without you, I'm just out there
(I can't find) That person I wanna put that much in
(I can't find) Anybody like you who makes touchin' more than touchin'

I've been lookin'
There's 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 can't find) Sleep at night, I'm either watchin' TV or walkin'
(I can't find) Any conversation that means more to me than talkin'
(I can't find) Satisfaction even when I do surrender
(I can't find) Anybody like you who makes tender more than tender

I've been lookin'
There's just nobody around, oh
No sense lookin'
For who can never be found, oh, oh...

(I can't find) Anybody like you who gets my full attention
(I can't find) Anybody who means enough for me to mention
(I can't find) That person

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.
