[Intro]
My darling, all I want is (You)

[Verse 1]
I don't want riches
And I don't want gold (Only you)
I just want you (Only you)
To have and to hold
I don't know me
And I don't want fame
I just wanna hear you
Call my name

[Chorus]
In this wide, wide, wide world
All I want is you, you, you, you

[Verse 2]
I don't want my name
Up in bright lights
I just want you
To hold me tight
Don't wanna be loved, loved, loved
By no other girl
Baby, you are my
My want of this world

[Chorus]
In this wide world
All I want, yeah, is you

[Verse 3]
I don't want no diamonds (Thrown at my feet)
I just want you to always be sweet
I just want my, my, my whole life long
To always do right and to never, never, never do you wrong

[Chorus]
In this wide world
All I want is you

[Outro]
All (All I want is you)
Yeah yeah (All I want is you)
I, I, I, I want is (All I want is)
You (You, you, you, you, you)

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.
