Songwriter: Smokey Robinson Janie Bradford

Producer: Smokey Robinson

[Intro]
Extra, extra, read all about it
Lost love, needs affection, can't live without it

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy
Let me see your paper please
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy there
That story may be meant for me
I left my love a short time ago
Is he tryna find me, I've got to know

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy
Is this a special edition?
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy there
Or do I have to partition?
[?] and a good [?]
You do all the things I didn't do

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey (paperboy)
Hey, hey, hey (paperboy)
Hey, hey, hey (paperboy)

[Bridge]
Now what do I do, I can't seem to find a guy
Won't you let me have a paper this time?
Since the name is the Free Press
Give me one and you can sell the rest

[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy
Let me tell you what I'll do
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy there
If you let me read the story through
I'll stand right here in the [?]
And yell "extra special" 'til your papers are sold

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey (paperboy)
Hey, hey, hey (paperboy)
Hey, hey, hey (paperboy)

[Outro]
Extra, extra, read all about it
Lost love, needs affection, can't live without it
