TFT: 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
