Heartbreak RoadThe Miracles

Songwriter: Ronald White Smokey Robinson

Producer: Ronald White

[Smokey Robinson & (The Miracles)]
Here we go, down that same old road
The road that heartache as I only know
We’ve got to drop it (we’ve got to drop it)
‘Cause if we don’t stop it (we don’t stop it)
We’re gonna find, my friend
That our love, like a road, will come to an end

We’ve been making molehills into mountains
Trickles of water into fountains
We’re gonna break up (we’re gonna break up)
If we don’t wake up (if we don’t wake up)
We’re gonna find, my friend
That our love, like a road, will come to an end

I remember not too long ago when our love
Used to be strong (used to be strong)
I don’t know why but it seems like
Recently, everything’s gone wrong (everything’s gone wrong)
Everything’s gone wrong (everything’s gone wrong)

So, tell me that you’ll be my own, don’t wanna walk alone
Down this heartbreak road
We’ve got to find a way to rid ourselves
Of this heartbreak load
So we won’t break up (so we won’t break up)
So we can make up (so we can make up)
It’s gonna be me (be me) for you (for you)
And you (and you) for me (for me)
And our love, like a river, will flow on endlessly (endlessly)
Endlessly (endlessly)
Endlessly (endlessly)
Endlessly (endlessly)
Flow (endlessly)

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.
