Robinson, Smokey - The Agony And The Ecstasy Lyrics






What's it all about this crazy love
How did our two worlds entwine?
How do I fit into your life
How did you get into mine?
I belong to someone else we know

Back when first we met
Oh, we thought for fun
One night together might be nice
Oh, but fun turned into love for both of us
So now we pay forbidden lover's price

Oh, 'cause love like ours is never, ever free
You pay some agony for the ecstasy
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy, oh

Nights when you're alone, you know that I
Laid with someone else beside me
Oh, but you love me still and I love you
You know I would no matter where I'd be

Hey, but love like ours is never, ever free
You got to pay some agony for the ecstasy
Oh, love like ours is never, ever free
We got to pay some agony if we wanna have ecstasy, oh

Hey, got to pay some agony
If we wanna have an ecstasy, yeah
And we need each other desperately, don't we, baby?
And I'll never from you be free, no no

So you'll have to do the leavin' me, yeah
And you'll have to do the leavin' me, oh baby
'Cause I'm gonna pay the agony, yeah
'Cause, oh, lovin' you is ecstasy, that's what it is

And I'm willin' to pay the price, ho
'Cause I'll make it a sacrifice, ho yes, I will
And I'll never, never, never, never
Never, never wanna be free

    2019👋

  34. P.... S....

    I remember riding in the car with my big sister. She played this over n over n over again. I didn’t know or understand then that she was dating a married man. He sure was good to her because she shared everything he gave to her with us. We wanted for nothing. Years later I would share the same fate as my sister. Both relationships were short lived. I believe deep down inside our mother instilled in us that we deserved better. I’m grateful for all the Smokey Robinson memories.

  35. f.... c....

    i still love these old songs

  36. T.... G....

    can't touch the architect of soul, spreading his wings right here, blow Smokey !!!

    This is one of my favorite songs by Smokey! I have loved him from the beginning and is still in 2019 one of the best singers! Still very handsome. God did bless this man!

  40. C.... C....

    In Smokey's Auto-biography, he talks about writing this song. He wrote it during his affair with an 18yr. old soul train dancer. YES. it's about his affair. His Auto-Biography is so deep. It's really a good book.

  41. Z.... M....

    This is the only music I listen to, It brings great memories. Keep on bringing this music back YouTube, believe me it never gets old or boring. Love it love it love it 😍 😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

  48. T.... G....

    SMOKEY IS MOTOWN, Berry Gordy was his accountant, while Smokey was singing the hell out of his own songs he was writing fuckin hits for the Temps, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, this dude is the fuckin architect of soul, live on Smokey !!!!

    Sing it Smokey🎤🎶🎶🎶

  82. F.... T....

    600 folks couldn't appreciate this classic soul song because they could hear that "Blue Note" in it! The European muscians use to ask the Black muscians from this era how to duplicate the sound they were hearing coming from this beautiful time in music. They were very accomplished in their own right, but they just couldn't produce or duplicate the same sound. It couldn't be found on a normal music scale it was in the "soul" and later referred to as the Blue Note. This is classic soul as beautiful and peaceful as a stream of water running down a hill side. The music takes us back to an era that will never be duplicated. It was just great generation of good people have great fun!

  83. G.... C....

    nothing against new school call it wha Cha want 2 that damn ole' school lord have mercy.

  84. G.... C....

    This is as smooth as velvet! Smokey was so smooth and perhaps one of the best smooth singers of our time along with Marvin and Curtis. This was a slow song that was so sweet women would just melt while slow dancing. We had blessed era indeed nothing else compares!

  86. L.... J....

    Hi edagdwg cheating is never someone loses out one day we pay and it hurts been there glad I learned Linda j.

  87. S.... M....

    I have been blessed to be his fan for over 50 years. When I see him in concerts in the NY area, I’m blessed to spend some real time, 10-15-20 minutes with him and talk. My adult daughter is close to Smoke, his manager, and the band. He is a beautiful person and sweet, sincere, and exudes warmth and love. I treasure him.
