Another Smokey Robinson classic that became another #1 hit for Motown. Robinson should have a special wing in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Hell, he should have his own building. I wonder if he wrote this before or after ‘My Girl,’ and if he wrote whichever one came second as a companion piece to the first. Wikipedia, usually so helpful in these matters, is silent on the subject.
This is one of those songs in which the singer professes love by dissing the object of her affection (‘My Funny Valentine’ is another that comes to mind). “No muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy…. no handsome face could ever take the place of my guy.” If this song was directed to me I’d be pissed! So I’m weak and ugly, but at least you love me. Thanks!
