Smokey Robinson

You think I want you for just my friend
How mistaken can you be
To make you mine is what I intend, yeah
While wide awake, it's seems that you've been a...

Asleep on my love
Asleep on my life
Asleep on my love
Asleep on my life

Maybe it's your intent to deceive
Trying to hide what you know
'Cause I find it so hard to believe
Oh, but anyone could be so naïve, not to be...

Asleep on my love
Asleep on my life
Asleep on my love, yeah
Asleep on my life

(Asleep on my love)
And I'd do everything to make you aware
(Asleep on my life)
That another feel for you is really there

Asleep on my love
Asleep on my life

You know I come whenever you call
Oh, and I'm always ready to give my all in all
Yet when crisis is over
Your crisis is over seems that you fall

Asleep on my love
Asleep on my life, yeah
Asleep on my love, yeah
Asleep on my life

Oh, baby
Oh, baby, oh, baby

Asleep on my love, yeah
Asleep on my life
Asleep on my love
Asleep on my life
Asleep on my love
Asleep on my life
Asleep on my love, yeah
Asleep on my life
Asleep on my love
Asleep on my life

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.
