Would I Love YouThe Miracles

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson

Producer: Smokey Robinson

[Verse 1]
Would I love you
If I thought that you'd love me too?
Does a birdie fly?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ah
Would I want you
If I thought that you'd want me too?
Does a baby cry?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
(Would I love you?)
Each and every day
(Would I love you?)
Darling, come what may
(Would I love you?)
Ooh-ooh, I would and I do
With a love that is true

[Verse 2]
Oh, would I kiss you
If I thought that you'd come on and kiss me too?
Does a river flow?
And just in case you'd like to know
Would I hold you
And never let you go for my whole life through?
Does a fire glow?

[Chorus]
Oh, my darlin', darlin', darlin'
(Would I love you?)
Oh, you don't have to doubt it
(Would I love you?)
There's no question about it
(Would I love you?)
Darlin', darlin', darlin', I would and I do
With a love that is true
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Would I love you?)
As long as I'm here on Earth
(Would I love you?)
For everything that I'm worth
(Would I love you?)
Just like a flower loves the rain
(Would I love you?)
I try to never cause you pain
(Would I love 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.
