I Want You 'Round (with Smokey Robinson)
(Smokey Robinson/Mickey Stevenson)
(Bo bo do, wo bo bo do, wo bo bo do)
Every day that passes by
I think about the new love you've found
& my eyes cloud up & cry
'Cause I want you 'round, I want you 'round
(Bo bo do)
I spend my saddest moments
After the sun goes down
That's when my heart starts aching
'Cause I want you 'round, I want you 'round
(Bo bo do, wo bo bo do, wo bo bo do, bo bo do)
No matter where I travel
In the country or a town
My lips call out your name
'Cause I want you 'round, I want you 'round
Baby, I want you 'round, oh yeah, I want you 'round
Mm hmm, I want you 'round

Your Old Stand-By
(Smokey Robinson/Janie Bradford)
She left you last night, & today you called me on the phone
Asked me if you could come over 'cause you didn't want to be alone
So you want me to stand in for her & be the love of your next act
But this time I play the part so well, there'll be no need of her comin'
back
'Cause you know that I'm your old stand-by
You know that you can call on me
I know the part so well that you can hardly tell
When she's left you in misery
I know you only called me 'cause you needed company
'Cause once again she's left you & your heart's in misery
But you know that I'm your old stand-by
You know that you can call on me
I know the part so well that you can hardly tell
When she's left you in misery
(instrumental)
(repeat & fade):
I don't wanna be your old stand-by
I wanna be with you permanently
I'm gonna play the part from the depths of my heart
& you won't need anybody but me
Forgive And Forget
(Ronnie White)
(Let's forgive & forget)
Why is it lovers always quarrel?
Why is it lovers always fight?
Why is it lovers always argue
When they know it isn't right?
CHORUS:
I know that you're my lover
& I also know that we love each other
For as long as we live
We'll have no regrets
If we only forgive & forget (forgive & forget)
I know that sometimes I may be wrong, this is true
But by the same token, this is also true of you
(chorus)
Someone who doesn't make mistakes is impossible to find
That's why to err is human, but to forgive is divine
Quarreling can only mean breaking up
After all is said & done
But if we stop & try making up
It can be so much fun
(chorus)
(repeat & fade):
Forgive & forget (forgive & forget)
What's Easy For Two Is So Hard For One
(Smokey Robinson)
Well well well well
Let's get together & go for a walk in the park
& while we're alone we can steal a little kiss in the dark
Oh I wanna walk with you (I wanna walk with you
I wanna talk with you (I wanna talk with you)
But it's up to you to say "Come on baby"
If you don't hurry up, I'll go crazy
'Cause a walk in the park all alone is just no fun
Oh what 2 can easily do, what 2 can easily do
Is so hard to be done by one
I'm sure that you know that I love you will all of my heart
But a love that's true really takes 2 to start
I wanna do my share (I wanna do my share)
To show you that I care (To show you that I care)
'Cause a one-sided love will never do
You gotta show me that you love me too
'Cause fallin' in love all alone is just no fun
Oh what 2 can easily do, what 2 can easily do
Is so hard to be done by one, yeah
One can build a love affair slowly; 2 can build a love affair fast
One can make a love get started; 2 can make it last
(instrumental)
So come on & take me by the hand
& lead me up to the preacher man
Together we can do all the things that should be done
Oh what 2 can easily do, what 2 can easily do
Is so hard to be done by one
(repeat & fade):
Yeah yeah yeah what 2 can easily do, what 2 can easily do
Is so hard to be done by one
You Lost The Sweetest Boy
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Eddie Holland)
(Oh yeah) (x4)
You had the sweetest boy in the world
Without a doubt you were the envy of every girl
You're the kind that's never satisfied
You want every boy to pass you by
Now the table's turned, 'cause his words tell you're done
Now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
You thought it was fun to make the boys run
(You lost the sweetest boy that you had that time
The sweetest boy that you had)
'Cause now he's hangin' around my door
More happier than before
Now you're in misery
'Cause you've lost him to me
Now the hurt's on you, now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
You made bets any boy you could get
(You lost the sweetest boy that you had that time
The sweetest boy that you had)
(instrumental)
(Oh yeah) (x4)
Yes, your loss is my gain
'Cause straight into my arms he came
You're the kind that's never satisfied
You want every boy to pass you by
Now the hurt's on you, now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
Now tears of regret have covered your face
(You lost the sweetest boy that you had that time
The sweetest boy that you had)
(repeat & fade):
(The sweetest boy that you had that time
The sweetest boy that you had)
My Heart Is Like A Clock
(Smokey Robinson/Mary Wells)
You broke my heart, & in that moment it stopped
Just like a clock that has been dropped
I thought that everything was fine
& that our love was gonna last
& yet we're running out of time
Just like the sand in a glass
Now every moment seems like an hour
Every hour like a day ever since you went away
My heart is running down
Just like a clock, it needs to be wound
Before it stops
& only your kiss can wind it up & make it get started
Your kiss can wind it up & make it get started
So come on & wind it up before I wind up broken-hearted
(instrumental)
(repeat previous verse)
& make it get started, oh oh
Don't wanna be broken-hearted, oh oh
(Only your kiss can wind it up)
...& fade
Does He Love Me
(Mickey Stevenson/Ivy Jo Hunter)
My baby doesn't act the same
I wonder why; am I to blame?
I wonder, does he love me?
Mmm, does he love me?
I really wanna know (I wanna know)
His kisses just don't seem as sweet
Since the new girl moved across the street
I wonder, does he love me?
Gee whiz, does he love me?
I really wanna know (I wanna know)
I wanna know (I wanna know)
Maybe there's really nothing wrong
I hope it's my imagination
But if it's true that he's noticed her
I pray it's only infatuation
Tomorrow is gonna be the day
Tomorrow I'm gonna find a way
To quiz him, does he love me?
Mmm, does he love me?
I really wanna know (I wanna know)
(instrumental)
(repeat previous verse)
I wanna know (I wanna know)
Does he really love me? I just gotta know
I wanna know (I wanna know)
I wanna know
Gee whiz, does the boy care?
Yeah, does he really love me?

My World Of Dreams
(Bob Hamilton)
At last I've got a remedy, an antidote for misery
The secret is within my mind, I've been-a gone-a any time
Now when the one I love makes me cry
& I feel like I wanna die
I stop for a moment (stop for a moment)
& close my eyes (close my eyes)
& I just drift right along into my world of dreams
In my world of dreams divine, anything I want is mine
If love should be the thing I need, I find it in my world of dreams
I just pick up & leave this world behind
& make a trip within my mind
I stop for a moment (stop for a moment)
& close my eyes (close my eyes)
& I just drift right along into my world of dreams
There's no tears (in my world of dreams)
Loneliness (never heard the word)
No, not in my world
My world is the happy happy world of dreams
So if your reality isn't quite what it should be
If you should need a quick escape, I think I've got the perfect quake
I'm here to offer you the sacred key to the way you want life to be
Just stop for a moment (stop for a moment)
& close your eyes (close your eyes)
& come on & drift into the world of dreams with me
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, come on with me into my world of dreams
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Can You Fix It (My Broken Heart)
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Eddie Holland)
You say you love me
Well I've heard that line before, you see
I'm a girl who's been hurtin' now & knows the score
You say you're not like the rest
So let's see--can you pass, can you pass the test?
Here's a piece of my heart an old love tore apart
When he lied, a false love in me
Can you fix it? Do you think you can mend it?
Well if you can, then & only then will I put my trust in you
'Cause heartaches by the number that an old love gave to me
So you've got to have love & understandin', 'cause that's the remedy
Yeah yeah, lonely nights without slumber & tearful memories
So I need true love to rely on, a shoulder to cry on
So here's a piece of my heart an old love tore apart
When he vowed he'd forever be true
Can you fix it? Is your love enough to mend it?
Until you do, then & only then will I give my love to you
So can you fix it? I wanna know, can you mend it?
Yeah I need a love that's true, that won't leave me blue
So come on, come on baby & fix it
Heartbreak is mighty tough, so I wanna know, do you care enough?

Guarantee (For A Lifetime)
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Eddie Holland)
(Will you take Mary's love? It's guaranteed for a lifetime) (x2)
Guaranteed for a lifetime, a love that is true
Guaranteed to never rust, it will always be new

The kind of love you've been spreading around
Then listen (listen) hear what I say
It's bargain day & I'm givin' away true love

One Block From Heaven
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Eddie Holland)
CHORUS:
One block from heaven, 5 minutes from his arms
& I'll be in the midst of his magical charms
One block from heaven, 5 minutes from his touch
& then soon I'll be with the boy I love so much
Can't wait till I'm with him; it's the only time I live
That's why all of my love to him I give, yeah
As the tears roll down my face, my eyes beat at steady pace
(chorus)
As I hurry down the street, bumpin' people that I meet
They turn their heads to stare, but I don't even care
Can't wait to see his smilin' face, can't wait to feel his warm embrace
One block from heaven
(instrumental)
(1st 2 lines of chorus)
The only time I'm happy is when he's close by
He's more than a prince; he's where my life begins
Can't wait to feel his embrace; it makes me feel oh so safe
(1st 2 lines of chorus)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm just one block from heaven
Yeah & I'll be with my baby, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I'm one block from heaven

One block from heaven, yeah I'm one block from heaven
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, I'm just one block from heaven
& I'll be with my baby one more time

Goodbye And Good Luck
(Ronnie White)
You've done it again
You lied & cheated & now you want me to open my heart so you
can come back in
But this time I won't (this time I won't)
This time you're stuck (this time you're stuck)
Goodbye & good luck
Too many times I've been forgiving
& then you turned around & made me wish I wasn't living
You told me that you'd changed
But I found you were the same
(instrumental)
I did everything I could to make this romance turn out good
But you used me; now you'll lose me
I don't wanna hear what you've got to say
I said goodbye, so be on your merry way (goodbye)
You won't talk your way back in (goodbye)
This time you're stuck (this time you're stuck)
Goodbye & good luck (goodbye & good luck)
Be on your merry way (goodbye & good luck)
Find another girl to play (goodbye & good luck)
I don't wanna hear what you've got to say (goodbye & good luck)
Goodbye & good luck (goodbye & good luck)
Somethin' tells me you're stuck (goodbye & good luck)
Goodbye & good luck (goodbye & good luck)
Goodbye & good luck (goodbye & good luck)

But I'm gonna say goodbye (goodbye & good luck)

(Come, come, come on my baby; come, come, prove it, prove it) (x2)
Hold me, darling, make me know
Just truly how much you really care
Told me that you needed me
Said you'd never let me go
Told me that you love me so
Now come on baby & prove it (come on, my baby, prove it, prove
it)
Oh you'll never know
Just how much it means to have you hold me tight & say
"I love you so"
(Come, come, come on my baby; come, come, prove it, prove it) (x2)
(Spoken):
You see, my darlin', I just can't take a chance

You see, all you gotta do is...
Come on & prove it

(What Are You Gonna Do) When I'm Gone
(Smokey Robinson)
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
Whose shoulder are you gonna cry on?
What are you gonna do on the day
When I turn my head & just walk away?
What are you gonna say to your friends
When the talk around town begins?
Will you tell them how you treated me bad?
Will you tell them how you made me so sad?
You make some people think that you love me a lot
They just don't know you; what they see isn't what we've got
We're happy in the public eye
They think you're such a wonderful guy
But they don't know how much you've lied
& they don't know how much I've cried
You're a real Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
(instrumental, with backing "ooo"s)
You make a pass at every girl that you see
Then when they hurt you, you come runnin' & crying to me
I comfort you whenever you're low
& you don't have no place you can go
You put your head on my shoulder to cry on
& then you turn around & tell me a lie
& I just can't take it, I've gotta make it, now
(repeat & fade):
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
Honey Boy
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Eddie Holland)
CHORUS:
(x2):
He's my Honey Boy, my ever-lovin' Honey Boy
Mmm hmm hmm mmm, mmm hmm hmm mmm
Sweet kisses are his claim to fame
In my heart he'll always remain
True fine lovin' is his game
Honey Boy is his name
He's sugar, he's spice, he's everything that's nice
(chorus)
I'd never have another love this time
Than all the gold in the Fort Knox mine
My whole life he'll inspire
Loving him is my desire
Always near when I need him most
That's why I just love to boast
(chorus)
If you see me in my prettiest dress
Then for him I look my best
Nobody can take his love from me
Because he has lasting loyalty
He's sugar, he's spice, he's everything that's nice
(chorus)
(over backup singing of chorus):
He's sugar, he's spice, he's everything that's nice
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, Honey Boy, Honey Boy
Sugar & spice, mmm hmm, mmm, hmm
Honey Boy, Honey Boy

Everybody Needs Love
(Norman Whitfield/Eddie Holland)
You say you wanna be loved
But you won't let me love you
You say you want someone to trust in you
Can't you see that's what I'm trying to do?
I know you've been hurt before
& you're afraid to try love once more
But without a love by your side, you're only half a man
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love
You say you wanna be kissed (wanna be kissed)
But you won't let me kiss you (no no no)
You say you wanna be missed
Can't you see how my arms are missing you?
She's got you, honey, so inside
& now from love, you're trying to hide
But no matter how you try, without love you can't survive
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love
(instrumental)
You need love, I need love, everybody needs love
You say you wake up in the morning (wake up in the morning)
Feelin' empty inside
Well, I know what your trouble is
You need someone by your side
I know you've been hurt before
But don't be afraid to try love once more
Without love you find you have no peace of mind
'Cause everybody needs love, oh yeah
Everybody needs love
(repeat & fade):
You need love, baby, I need love, everybody needs love
