I treated you bad
And wrong my dear
And since
Yeah, since you been away
Dontcha know

With my head hangin' down
Who's lovin' you

Never never made you cry
And since
Girl since you been gone
Dontcha know
I sit around
With my head hangin' down
And oh, I wonder
Who's lovin' you
Life without love
Is oh so lonely
I don't think that I
I'm gonna make it
All my life
All my life, yeah
Belongs to you only
Come on and take it girl
Come on and take it
Because
All, all I
All I can do, all I can do
Since you been gone is cry
And it's you, you, oooh
Yeah I wonder
And worry about what I do
Don't you know I
Sit around
Oh, with my head hangin' down
And wonder
Who's lovin' you
(Who's lovin you)
The Miracles' song Who is a heart-wrenching ballad about lost love and regret. The lyrics tell a story of a man who mistreated and took his lover for granted, causing her to leave him. He now realizes the error of his ways and yearns to know who is loving her now that she's gone. He laments about how lonely his life has become without her and that all he can do since she left is cry. He implores her to come back and take his heart because it belongs to her only. The repetition of the phrase "I wonder who's loving you" adds to the melancholic vibe of the song.
The lyrics of "Who" are full of pain and remorse, and the vocal performance by Smokey Robinson adds to the emotional intensity of the song. The slow, soulful melody with a prominent bassline and harmonious backing vocals also conveys the sadness and longing expressed in the lyrics. The song was very successful and helped establish The Miracles as an R&B powerhouse in the early 1960s.

I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly, you really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, you really got a hold on me, you really got a hold, baby
I don't want you, but I need you
Don't want to kiss you, but I need you
Oh, oh, oh, you do me wrong now
My love is strong now you really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, you really got a hold on me, you really got a hold, baby
I love you and all I want you to do is just hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter
Tighter
I want to leave you, don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend another day here
Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now, I can't quit now
You really got a hold on me, you really got a hold on me, you really got a hold, baby
I love you and all I want you to do is just hold me, please
Hold me, squeeze, hold me, hold me
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me
I said you really got a hold on me
