I’m Stuck On YouThe Miracles

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson

Producer: Smokey Robinson

[Verse 1]
Just look at the wallpaper
It's stuck there on the wall
It's a pretty sight, oh, it's stuck so tight
You'd think it'd never fall off at all

[Pre-Chorus]
But take some real hot water
And a sponge or a rag and
Soak the wall 'til the paper starts to sag, and
Pretty soon that paper's got to fall

[Chorus]
But if you soak me, I'll make a bet (I'm stuck on you)
That I won't be free, I'll just be wet (I'm stuck on you)
But still, I would be stuck on you

[Verse 2]
Sometimes in the winter
It's better to stay inside
Though it's pretty and white, your car is stuck so tight
'Til the wheels just slip and slide

[Pre-Chorus]
But take some ashes or salt, whichever you desire
And if that don't make it move, put some chains around the tires
And pretty soon you're ready to take your ride (Take your ride)

[Chorus]
But I can't be moved away from you (I'm stuck on you)
And it's been proved no matter what I do (I'm stuck on you)
Still I will be stuck on you

[Pre-Chorus]
Eternal now, this promise to some girls by a guy
But oftentimes another girl catches his eye
And, uh, pretty soon, he's ready to say goodbye (Goodbye)

[Chorus]
But I can't be scraped or stretched, pulled or snatched
No matter what you do, I'll just stay re-attached (I'm stuck on you)
'Cause I'm stuck on you, baby (I'm stuck on you)
Let me tell you that I'm stuck on you (I'm stuck on 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.
