Happy LandingThe Miracles

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson Ronald White

Producer: Smokey Robinson

You better beware, my friends all told me
When they saw that I was falling for you
You better beware, they told me that girl ain't gonna be true
She'll have you walking with your head in the air
Have you thinking that she really, really cares
Then a, then she'll let you down, she'll really let you down

She's a girl with no understanding
And when she's getting tired of you hanging around
She'll let you drop and say have a happy landing (happy landing)

Oh, but I fell for you anyway
I didn't care what my friends had to say
'Cause I was so glad that I had found you
I build my whole world right around you
You had me hope on a lie for a while
Have me thinking you'd be mine for a while
Oh, but then you let me down, you really let me down

'Cause you're a girl with no understanding
And when you're getting tired of me hanging around
You let me drop and said have a happy landing (happy landing)

So now you want me to take you back
Staying away for a long, long time
You broke all of the laws of loving
Now ya' coming back to the scene of your crime
Gonna keep you in suspense for awhile
Keep you hanging on a fence for awhile
Then a I'll let you down, then I'll let you down

I ain't gonna have no understanding
And when I get tired of you hanging around
I'll let you drop and say you have a happy landing (happy landing)
Have a happy landing, now (have a happy landing)
I've got to put you down (have a happy landing)
Don't want ya' hanging around, now (have a happy landing)
You know that you better (have a happy landing)
You know that you better (have a happy landing)
So come on and have (have a happy landing)
Don't you know that I ought to

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.
