[Verse 1]
When I had you here
I treated you bad and wrong my dear
And since, girl, since you been away
Don'tcha know I sit around
With my head hangin' down
And I wonder who is lovin' you

[Verse 2]
I, I, I, I should have never ever, ever made you cry
And since girl since you been gone
Don'tcha know I sit around
With my head hangin' down
And I wonder who is lovin' you

[Bridge]
Life without love is oh so lonely
I don't think I'm gonna make it
All my life, all my love belongs to you only
Come on and take it girl, come on and take it!

[Verse 3]
Because all I can do, all I can do
Since you been gone is cry
And you, oooh, yeah ever wonder
And wonder your pretty head about what I do
Don'tcha know I sit around
With my head hangin down
And I wonder who is lovin' you
(Who's lovin 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.
