Lyrics Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson

Heavy on Pride

Walking around talking about you

Don't miss what you had before

Heavy on pride, light on love

Claiming you came to do anything

But to see me once more, oh, baby

Heavy on pride, light on love

So you say you stopped by

To make sure I watered creeping Charlie

And to use the phone

Oh, but that ain't so

Baby, 'cause I know you well enough

To know that kind of stuff

Couldn't bring you home

I think you miss what we had

And, ooh, I need you so bad, baby

Oh, give it up, baby

Oh, give it up, baby

Walking around talking about

You're in need of nobody

Ooh, that's heavy

Heavy on pride, light on love

Claiming you aim to do nothing

To satisfy your body, ooh...

That's heavy on pride, but light on love

It's a natural thing

So if your body's aching for me

Baby, don't be shamed

'Cause there's no use to make an excuse

Just look at me and you've got to see

That I feel the same

Said I'm glad you came to get your lover's touch

And, ooh, I need you so much, baby, oh...

Never mind wasting time

Talking about who did who wrong

Heavy on pride, light on love

Heavy on pride, on pride, but light on love

Heavy on pride, light on love

Give it up, baby

Oh, come on, give it up, baby

Ooh, I need you so bad, I need you so bad, baby

Never mind wasting time

Talking about who did who wrong

Heavy on pride, light on love

Heavy on pride, on pride, but light on love

Yeah, light on it, light on it, light on love

Ooh, baby...

Play for me, y'all

Yeah

On a lonely night when you get uptight

You can't love pride

When you're living a lie

With your head up high

But you're hurting inside

That's heavy, baby

I said, that's heavy, baby
