My Girl Has Gone (Second Version)The Miracles

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson Warren “Pete” Moore Ronald White Marv Tarplin

Producer: Smokey Robinson

[Verse 1: Smokey Robinson & (the Miracles)]
When you were mine I loved you so much
A got a thrill from your every touch
You went away with somebody else
Now all I can say to comfort myself

[Chorus]
Is that my girl has gone and said goodbye
Don't you cry, hold your head up high
And don't give up, give love one more try
'Cause there's a right girl for every guy

[Verse 2]
Baby, all your love wasn't right for me
Good for another it well may be
Some girls just weren't made for some guys
Now I've got to make myself realize

[Chorus]
That my girl has gone (yes, she has)
And said goodbye (I tell myself that)
Don't you cry, hold your head up high
(Keep on trying)
Don't give up, give love one more try
(Believe me now)
There's a right girl for every guy, oh yeah

[Bridge]
I've got the feelin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah baby

Now happiness and all the best
That's all that I wish for you, oh yeah
Don't be like me in misery
I'm feelin' so sad and blue
I said I'm sad and I'm blue, oh yeah
Sad and I'm blue, I said I'm sad and I'm blue

[Chorus]
Because my girl has gone and said goodbye
(but I told myself)
Don't you cry, hold your head up high
(Keep on trying)
Don't give up, give love one more try
(Believe me now)
There's a right girl for every guy
(And I can't go on if I hear you say)
My girl has gone (yes you can) and said goodbye
(And I start to cry, I say)
Don't you cry, hold your head up high
(Oh, wee)
Don't give up, give love one more try
(Oh my)
There's a right girl for every guy

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.
