[Verse 1]
I did you wrong
My heart went out to play
But in the game I lost you
What a price to pay, hey
I'm cryin'

[Chorus]
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby

[Verse 2]
Mistakes, I know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too
I'm crying

[Chorus]
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh baby baby

[Bridge]
I'm just about at the end of my rope
But I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope
Because I feel one day I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you until that day is here
I'm cryin'

[Chorus - outro]
Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh baby baby

Ooh oo-ooh baby baby
Ooh oo-ooh ooh ooh baby baby

Ooh ooh ooh ooooooh

Smokey Robinson

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.
