Robinson, Smokey - I'll Try Something New Lyrics






I will build you a castle with a tower so high
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, yeah

I will take you away with me as far as I can
To Venus or Mars
There we will walk with your hand in my hand
You'll be queen of the stars
And everyday 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 fellows
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new

I'll take the stars and count them and move a mountain
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
Got a try something new

If at first I don't succeed
Try again, that's what I'll do
Always trying something else
Always trying something that's new
Got to try something new
Got to try something new

Robinson, Smokey I'll Try Something New Comments
  1. G.... B....

    This is my favorite Miracles song. Favorite Motown song period. My wife was not a Miracles or Motown fan, but I would sing along with this song to her. The words in the song describe how I feel about her. She passed in 2017 of a heart attack, and I'll never be happy again. Some people are just meant for one special person.

  2. j.... ....

    My favorite Smokey song...

  3. F.... C....

    Never heard another song capable of so effortlessly producing a stupid grin on my face

  4. P.... W....

    Just saw the special on Showtime about Motown's history with Berry Gordy and Smokey hosting (Nov. 2019). It was awesome, & showed what a phenomenal organization & music empire Berry built, & later with Smokey as a partner & VP, made Motown into the huge music "hit factory", as it was dubbed. With bringing in the best songwriters: Smokey, Holland Dozier Holland, Ashford & Simpson, etc., the best singers, and the best musicians in Detroit (The Funk Bros.), Berry had created a music monster with the Motown sound, a phenomenom that nobody else could duplicate.
    Thanks for the beautiful music that will last forever, Berry, Smokey and the entire Motown Music Family!

  5. P.... W....

    I remember listening to this awesome song by The Miracles on the radio as a kid and thought that it sounds so exotic with its Calypso beat; and it made me think of a romantic scene with lovers in a night in Morroco or some farway, exotic place. Smokey was such a musical genius; his songs always bring to mind a special someone and a special place.

  6. D.... E....

    Such a great song from the great Smokey Robinson and the Miracles still play this on my internet radio show Classic Soul me the Masterblaster

  53. J.... B....

    My first big one from The Miracles way back in 62.

  54. l.... ....

    Thank you for posting this! My favorite Miracles song! I bought the 45 record back in 1962 and while I no longer have my adolescent fantasies, the magic of this tune definitely holds up!

  55. R.... B....

    A great teacher in the writing of down to earth romantic songs. Every line in his verses lead directly to his hooks perfectly. Real clever stuff.

  56. L.... B....

    I second that emotion

  57. S.... M....

    I believe Smokey wrote this for Claudette. She miscarried several times and this was his response to her. So I believe.

    S.... M....

    Robert,you are exactly right. Smokey is the best. I’ve seen him about 50 times or more over my life, my children love his music too.

  58. D.... L....

    Sometimes God sends us these angels- rays of light, to behold their presence makes life worth living

  59. V.... J....

    Think you all will agree that, the man strings his words together like a strand of fine pearls. My pudding!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

    V.... J....

    I agree with you girl. Smokey's music has been a large part of me since the 60's...

  61. c.... ....

    Awesome !

  62. C.... Z....

    Another jewel from Smokey.

  63. R.... H....

    The One and Only Mr. Motown!! Still listening December 2018!!

  64. S.... M....

    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.

  65. D.... A....

    I LOVE YOU ALBERT ARELLANES !!

  66. M.... ....

    LOVE ME SOME SM💗KEY, SANG. SM💗KEY SANG!

  73. M.... M....

    Your the bad woman. I gave u high 5

  74. U.... ....

    ... Hottest label out

  75. U.... ....

    I feel so sorry(no diss!) for today’s young music lovers. It’s not that our music is better than theirs, It’s that our times were! Songs are a product of the times they were written in. So imagine what the world was like when this song was written! I was 5 when this song came out and Motown was quickly becoming the hattedt record label out. EVERYBODY LOVED AT LEAST ONE MOTOWN SONG! I loved them all. Love, or the expression of love, was all in the air. Life was sooo simple. Solutions were easier to find. I watched my mom and her friends live such a carefree music filled life. And I did too. Ahh man you had to be there!

  76. j.... b....

    THAT is what I call songwriting! I first heard the Supremes and Tempts version in '68. I bought the album back then. Thus is the first time I heard the original. It's better. Complete lyrics on this original version.

  77. w.... m....

    I really love you.

  78. J.... L....

    Pretty song...!

  79. t.... w....

    July, '62...not ready to "try something new"....but it did happen.... Sept. '63....has made a huge difference since.

  80. L.... T....

    This song really takes you to deep when it comes to romance. I was only 13 when this song was popular. But every time I heard it, no matter what I was doing, I would fantasize about the strong, dark and handsome boyfriend I would have when I got a little older dancing, making out, and singing a duet to this song.

  81. N.... R....

    "I'll take the stars and count them and move a mountain and......." poetic.

  82. H.... G....

    Really though!

  83. B.... S....

    America's greatest living poet...POETRY IN MOTION!

  84. C.... C....

    Nothing Like Smokey....

  85. A.... D....

    if at first you don't succeed try again is what i do ill try something new. A smart romantic love song i feel like hes sarinading me from the window as i look down below now this is a good boyfriend and girlfriend song with out the smut of todays hook up song. All i can say is he is the Micheal Jackson of his time . Hes the Drake and Prince and the Weekend of his time if it weren't for him there be no pop songs are even a Motown to think of to begin with so thank you for all of your contributions to the Motown sound and todays new artist that are trying to imitate you.

  86. E.... S....

    Smokey taught me how to rap to girls...be sincere and have an air of innocence!

  87. Q.... B....

    So Many Priceless memories

  88. P.... C....

    The joint.

  89. V.... W....

    Beautiful Song!

  90. D.... C....

    soul music can't be beat

  91. D.... H....

    the people that disliked meant dis-i-like

  92. C.... M....

    Smokey on stage,was like Ali in the ring,no one could touch them.

  93. S.... F....

    On the moon above I'll write it's you that I love. That's DEF.

  94. w.... w....

    Put my headphones on and I go back in time and heaven. Thanks Smokey you're the greatest

  96. K.... A....

  97. S.... J....

    The perfect pop song.

  98. D.... M....

    WOW, LIFE WAS SO GREAT BACK IN THOSE DAYS, WHERE HAS ALL OF THAT GONE? TAKE ME BACK IN TIME!!

    D.... M....

    People don't open then up to true love
