Doggone Right
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the luckiest man to ever live
'Cause all the love one man
Could possibly get, honey you give
In your voice, soft and low
There's a little something
That let's me know
If you took your heart
And made it mine
I would be true
Till the end of time
Ooh yeah, doggone right
Doggone right
You brighten up baby
Each and every day that I have to face
And if the sun don't shine
Your smile is there to take its place
Smooth and warm tender touch
Letting me know that it means so much
To be loved by somebody who
Is just as much in love as you
Oh yeah, doggone right
Doggone right
Said you're doggone right
Doggone right
Oh, you're doggone right now
Doggone right
Oh you're doggone right
Ooh, when I am sad
You take the time to be concerned
It makes a man feel so good
To know that his love is being returned
Eenie meenie miny moe
Love is a guessing game I know
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
But I've got to win 'cause it's you that I choose
I choose
Doggone right
Doggone right
Said you're doggone right, oh baby
Doggone right, doggone right
If you think I'm gonna stay
Let nobody take my love away
And your doggone right

One of my favorites from back in the day. Man, hearing it brings back so many memories of innocence and love. Also remember seeing this live on Ed Sullivan in 1969!

I was so into The Miracles back in the day. I used to have a voice like Smokey’s then I hit puberty!
