Smokey Robinson

Gone again
You never seem to need me
'Til I'm gone again
I remember when
I had never gone from you before

Every now and then
At night I wake up crying
'Cause I'm gone again
And, lately, where I've been
Makes me need to be with you once more

But makin' up and breakin' up
Is taking up too much of our precious time
So this time, I'm gonna wait 'til when
I can return and never be gone again, again

Ooh...

Oh, but makin' up and breakin' up
Is taking up too much of our precious time
So this time, I'm gonna wait 'til when
I can return and never be gone again, again

This time, I'm gonna wait 'til when
I can return and never be gone again, again
I'm gonna wait 'til when
I'm gonna wait 'til when
I can return and never be gone again, again
Gone, gone again

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.
