More quotes by Smokey Robinson
I always try to write a song, I never just want to write a record. Originally I was not writing songs for myself. Songwriting is my gift from God.
Smokey Robinson
I still perform because it's a necessity for my innards. And those songs, some of those songs, I have sung, I don't know how many thousands of times. And I promise you, every single solitary night, they're new to me. They are brand-new to me that night.
Smokey Robinson
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
Smokey Robinson
Though you treat me badly, I love you madly.
Smokey Robinson
Now if I appear to be carefree it's only to camouflage my sadness. In order to keep my pride I try to cover the hurt with a show of gladness.
Smokey Robinson
We're all going to be victims of temptation at several points in our lives.
Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson
Mistakes, I know I've made a few. But I'm only human, you've made mistakes, too.
Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson
That's what love is made of, snakes, snails, and puppy dog tails, sugar, spice, and everything nice.
Smokey Robinson
Put your trust in me, let this love be. This is for real, let time stand still.
Smokey Robinson
And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves.
Smokey Robinson
With a heart that is truthful, keeping you youthful.
Smokey Robinson
If I just gave you a piece of paper with the lyrics written down on it, it would mean something to you. It would tell you a story.
Smokey Robinson
When you write a song, a song has longevity
Smokey Robinson
Baby, let's cruise, let's flow, let's glide.
