Everytime I see you, baby, you make me feel so fine
Let me tell you, pretty baby, I wish that you would be mine
'Cause I love you, mmh, 'cause I love you

I'm always thinkin', pretty baby, of a way that I could win your heart
Let me tell you, pretty baby, I've wanted you from the start
'Cause I love you, don't you know that I love you

I've wanted you, darling, for as long as I can remember
I know my love for you is true, not just a dying ember

Please tell me, pretty baby, 'cause I've wondered such a long time
If you love me, pretty baby, I'll make your name the same as mine
'Cause I love you
Don't you know that I love you
Don't you know
Doo, doo, doo, doo

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.
