More quotes by Smokey Robinson
As human beings, we're very materialistic and have all this stuff - furs and cars and diamonds and money.
Smokey Robinson

Beethoven was just music, and it didn't matter if he could hear it or not - he could feel it. He could hear it in his mind. He could write it down hearing it in his mind. He was just music. Yeah, he's one of my favorite writers of all times.
Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson
It kills me to see people think that, show business is sex, drugs and rock and roll. And I have what you call a meet and greet. I do it before the show. But when I was doing it after the show especially, there would be people who would come back and said, OK, Smoke, where's the party?
Smokey Robinson
I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea to wear in your hair.
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
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen, try to find one who's gonna give you true loving.
Smokey Robinson
People say I'm the life of the party Because I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughing loud and hearty Deep inside I'm blue So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place If you look closer, it's easy to trace The tracks of my tears.
Smokey Robinson
