[Chorus]
Broken hearted since we parted
I don't go nowhere, but what do I care
I'm just broken hearted since we parted

[Verse 1]
I'm so blue, baby, without you
Yes, I don't have no one, ain't been havin no fun
Since you been gone, I can't go on
I keep on cryin', my hope keeps dyin'
Oh, I'm broken hearted, baby since we parted

[Verse 2]
Maybe you don't know it, girl
So let me just remind you
That I still love you, girl
And I'm gonna find you
But until, I hope that you
Will leave the past behind you
And come on and let me know
That you've been so

[Chorus]
Broken hearted, ooh since we parted
Just say you will give me a thrill
Come on, come on home
Nevermore to roam
I'm so broken hearted, baby, since we parted

[Verse 3]
I don't have no one
I ain't havin' no fun
'Cause I need you
You bet your life
You bet your life I do
So come on, come on, come on

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.
