[Verse 1: Smokey Robinson]
Someday maybe my baby will come back home
My hand, will I walk up to her father
And, uh, with a smile, I’ll say
“Come on, let’s talk for a little while”
About your baby, your baby
I love your baby, love your baby, yeah

[Verse 2: Smokey Robinson]
Well, do you dig that?
Her dad’s a big man
He looks mighty rough, but to my surprise
Just the other day I was a, a passing by
And he said, “Hello, son”; I told him “Hi”
I love baby, your baby, I love your baby
Love your baby

[Bridge: Smokey Robinson and (Pete Moore)]
And I know your baby loves me, too
(“You’re crazy”) I’m crazy?
(“Who makes you think that it’s only you?”)
Your baby, your baby

[Verse 3: Smokey Robinson]
The way he was sounding, my heart was pounding
And though I’m not the son-in-law he had in mind
He said, “Do you mean to a, a treat her true?”
And I said, “Dad, yes, indeed I do”
‘Cause I love, love, love, I love your baby
Love your baby

[Bridge: Smokey Robinson and (Pete Moore)]
Well, I know your baby loves me too
Well, maybe; well, maybe
(“Who makes you think that it’s only you?”)
Your baby, your baby

[Verse 4: Smokey Robinson]
Someday, maybe, let me take your baby
Walk down the aisle, say, “Yeah, I do
Take this girl to a, a be my wife
Love and cherish all my life”
Your baby, your baby, I love your baby
Love your baby, yeah

[Outro]
Someday, maybe, let me take your baby
Someday, maybe, let me take your baby
Someday, maybe, let me take your baby

The Miracles

The Miracles (also known as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles from 1965 to 1972) were an American rhythm and blues vocal group.

They were formed at school in Detroit in 1955 as The Five Chimes. In 1956 they changed their name to The Matadors, adding Claudette Rogers to the line-up. They were spotted by Berry Gordy at an audition in late 1957 and in February 1958 changed their name to The Miracles. Their first release, ‘Get A Job’ b/w ‘My Mama Done Told Me’, was issued via the End label that same month. Another single on End followed, and then one on Chess and Motown, before the group finally found a home on Tamla where they had a string of hits and Smokey established himself as a key songwriter for the label throughout the 1960s.

In late 1965 Berry Gordy decided to adjust the group’s name and they were billed thereafter as Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, until Smokey left the group in July 1972 (although the final Smokey Robinson & The Miracles single was not released until November). He was replaced by Billy Griffin, with the name being reverted back to The Miracles for the new line-up.
