More quotes by Smokey Robinson
Originally I was not writing songs for myself
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
Drugs are in every walk of life - doctors, lawyers, preachers, the guy who works for IBM, teenagers on the street, teenagers in school.
Smokey Robinson
You know what, life is full of temptations
Smokey Robinson
Put your trust in me, let this love be. This is for real, let time stand still.
Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson
Before you ask some girl for her hand now, keep your freedom for as long as you can now. My Mama told me, you better shop around.
Smokey Robinson
And I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves.
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
You are most certainly the inspiration for all of today's rock 'n' roll guitarists. Your music is timeless.
Smokey Robinson
They don't tell you this in school, Everybody plays the fool.
Smokey Robinson
We're all going to be victims of temptation at several points in our lives.
Smokey Robinson
