Lyrics Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson

Wine, Women and Song

We're the singers in a travelin' show

Pack our bags again and off we go

He gave his ring and love, but this I know

All he wants me to be is his wife

Wine, women and song are his life

I say, let's settle down, on this, he declines

For neon lights and no vacancy signs

His wonderland of fame and me he combines

All he wants me to be is his wife

Wine, women and song are his life

I wish that we could spend one week alone

Just him and me, but it's so plain to see

That all he wants me to be is his wife

Wine, women and song are his life

My lady, I've seen all your shows

And wrote you a thousand letters

I sure would love the chance

To make you feel a little better

All he wants me to be is his wife

Wine, women and song are his life

And I want you to be my everything

But he is your man and I'm just a fan

He turns the ladies' heads wherever he goes

On our private life, they even impose

They think I'm lucky, 'cause it's me that he chose

But all he wants me to be is his wife

Wine, women and song are his life

I wish that I could fill his life with love

Sufficiently so he'd only need me

But all he wants me to be is his wife

Wine, women and song are his life

Wine, women and song are his life

He wants me to just be a wife, yeah

Wine, women and song are his life

Yes, wine, women and song are his life

My lady, I've seen all your shows

And wrote you a thousand letters

I sure would love the chance

To make you feel a little better, yeah

Ah, but he is your man, I'm just a fan

He is your man and I'm just a fan

I think I could make you feel better

But he is your man and I'm just a fan...
