I'll Try Something New
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It reaches the moon
I'll gather melodies from birdies that fly
And compose you a tune
Give you lovin' warm as mama's oven
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
To Venus or Mars
There we will love with your hand in my hand
You'll be queen of the stars
And every day we can play on the milky way
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea
To wear in your hair
I'll do anything and everything to keep you happy
Girl, to show you that I care
I'll pretend I'm jealous of all the fellas
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
I'll take the stars and count 'em and move a mountain
And if that don't do, I'll try something new
I'll tell the moon above it's you that I love
And baby, if it don't do I'm gonna try something new
Oh, well if there's something to see, try, here's what I'll do
Always trying something new, always trying something that's new

One day out of the blue I sang the first line of this song to my 75 year old father and without missing a beat he picked it up and sang the rest of the song. He was about 16yrs old when it first came out. Loved it!

Smokey is a true poet, a lyricist par excellence, he spins webs of wondrous words into themes of love like no one else..
@stephenmarcus2825
There is no complete artist like Smokey around today. He does it all, sings beautifully, composes wonderful songs, has an amazing presence, produces music for others and more. I have seen him in concert at least 50 times over my lifetime. Have had the good fortune to get to know him personally through contacts and for the past 30 years usually talk to him backstage before and after shows. Have so many Smokey pictures with my family and myself. He is a national treasure who at age 79 keeps going strong. Love him forever.

Smokey Robinson songs were the soundtrack of my childhood and early adulthood. The world would be empty without him singing, writing, producing some of the greatest music ever written, performed and recorded. Smokey is a legend and he made the world a better place.

What a gift to music, I'm so happy I was born in the 50's and enjoyed this iconic figure's music in 60-70's. Shout out to Baltimore Md., Forest Park High class of 1970.

George Harrison especially liked Smokey. He wrote a song called "Pure Smokey" in the '80's in tribute to him.
