Link: [Smokey Robinson]
Not every song that
will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian”
in the eyes of this world. For some will
be anguished cries from the pit of despair while others will be quite obviously
fervent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless,
be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another)
and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.
I Second That
Emotion
Smokey Robinson and
The Miracles
Maybe you want to
give me kisses sweet
But only for one
night with no repeat
Then maybe you'd go
away and never call
And a taste of
honey is worse than none at all
Oh little girl
In that case I
don't want no part
I do believe
That would only
break my heart
Oh
But if you feel
like lovin’ me
If you got the
notion
I second that
emotion
Said
If you feel like
givin’ me
A lifetime of
devotion
I second that
emotion
Oh
Maybe you think
that love would tie you down
You ain't have the
time to hang around
Or maybe you think
that love was made for fools
So it makes you
wise to break the rules
Oh little girl
In that case I
don't want no part
I do believe
That would only
break my heart
Oh
But if you feel
like lovin’ me
If you got the
notion
I second that
emotion
Said
If you feel like
givin’ me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that
emotion
Oh
Oh yeah
Oh
Oh baby
Oh little girl
In that case I
don't want no part
I do believe
That would only
break my heart
Oh
But if you feel
like lovin’ me
If you got the
notion
I second that
emotion
Said
If you feel like
givin’ me
A lifetime of
devotion
I second that
emotion
Oh little girl
I second that
emotion
Oooh little girl
I second that
emotion
Ha
I second that
emotion
Tears of a Clown
Smokey Robinson and
The Miracles
Oh yeah yeah
Now if there's a
smile on my face
It's only there
tryin’ to fool the public
But when it comes
down to foolin’ you
Now honey that's
quite a different subject
But don't let my glad
expression
Give you the wrong
impression
'Cause really I'm
sad
Oh I'm sadder than
sad
Well I'm hurt
And I want you so
bad
Like a clown
I appear to be glad
Ooh yeah
Well they're some
sad things known to man
But ain't too much
sadder than
The tears of a
clown
When there's no one
around
Oh yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Baby
Now if I appear to
be carefree
It's only to
camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield
my pride I try
To cover this hurt
with a show of gladness
But don't let my
show convince you
That I've been happy
since you
'Cause you decided to
go
Oh I need you so
Look I'm hurt
And I want you to
know
For others
I put on a show
Well they're some
sad things known to man
But ain't too much
sadder than
The tears of a
clown
When there's no one
around
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
Baby
Just like Pagliacci
did
I try to keep my
surface hid
Smilin’ in the
crowd I try
But in a lonely
room I cry
The tears of a
clown
When there's no one
around
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
Baby
Now if there's a
smile on my face
Don't let my glad
expression
Give you the wrong
impression
Don't let this
smile I wear
Make you think that
I don't care
,Cause I’m
Cryin’
Cryin’
Cryin’
The tears of a
clown
