Baby Don’t You GoThe Miracles

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson

Producer: Smokey Robinson

[Verse 1]
If I, if I ever tell you that I don't love you no more
I would be alright until you started out my door

[Chorus]
Then I would cry, oh baby, oh baby, oh
Oh baby, baby, don't you go

[Verse 2]
But if you, if you decided to just leave me anyway
I'd fall down on my knees, yeah, and this is what I'd say

[Chorus]
I would cry, ooh, ooh (Baby) baby
Ooh baby, ooh, ooh (Baby) baby
Baby, don't you go

[Bridge]
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
Do me wrong, but stay

[Chorus]
Ooh (Baby), baby, oh baby
Ooh baby, oh yeah, ooh, ooh (Baby) baby
Baby, don't you know, know, know, baby (Baby), know
Baby, know, baby, know, know, know, know
Please don't you go, baby, go, baby, go, baby, go
No, no, baby, don't you go

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.
