Smokey Robinson - I Second That Emotion Lyrics
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey's worse than none at all
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Ooh
Maybe you think that love would tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules
Oh little girl
In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Oh little girl, In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that, that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Oh, little girl
I second that emotion
[FADES] - Ooh little girl I second that emotion

& Da band's work jus cruisin along like dat
music for the soul
There's so many Channels who've posted this song and failed to mention "The Miracles." Who was prolific in the making of this song and background vocals. In all due respect, Smokey did not sing this song by himself nor write all of the lyrics to their hit songs. The Miracles were co-writers as well but never seem to receive any credit! The research is online so it's no excuse. My father was one of The Miracles. Just saying
Total agreement, Monique !! I am a *MIRACLES* fan....not just a "Smokey" fan !! I like them ALL :
Your Dad Pete , Bobby, Ronnie, Claudette, Marv. AND Smokey...not just Smokey alone !! Some of the REST of these folks were probably born after The Miracles broke up....so they think that songs like *SHOP AROUND, OOO BABY BABY, THE TRACKS OF MY TEARS, I SECOND THAT EMOTION, YOU'VE REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME, MORE LOVE, GOING TO A GO-GO, THE TEARS OF A CLOWN*, and other hits, were all recorded only by Smokey . They *WEREN'T*. These are all *THE MIRACLES* ' SONGS. In FACT, for the first 8 YEARS of the group's existence, they were known simply as THE MIRACLES...with NOBODY'S name up front !!! *Read your Music History , People !!!* Start HERE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miracles
Initially, they were called just "The Miracles" ....and for the first 8 years, in fact. It was BERRY GORDY who changed the names of THE MIRACLES, THE SUPREMES, and MARTHA & THE VANDELLAS. This was mainly done as a marketing move....but ultimately, for THE MIRACLES and THE SUPREMES, the name change did more HARM than GOOD ....especially in THE MIRACLES' case. It caused SMOKEY to be inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ...by HIMSELF, back in 1987....something that should have NEVER happened. SMOKEY has only had FOUR MAJOR HITS as a solo artist: *BEING WITH YOU, JUST TO SEE HER, ONE HEARTBEAT, and CRUISIN*. All of the REST of his major hits were as a member of THE MIRACLES. Thus, ALL of THE MIRACLES should've been inducted back in 1987...NOT JUST HIM. He would have almost certainly gotten a SECOND INDUCTION later...as a solo artist, songwriter, producer, and record executive...just like Curtis Mayfield did...(as a member of THE IMPRESSIONS and SOLO). But , since the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame did such a BOTCHED-UP JOB in 1987 , by inducting SMOKEY ALONE and leaving the REST of the MIRACLES out, That second induction for Smokey will probably NEVER happen... and The MIRACLES suffered, because, by the time they finally DID get inducted in 2012, Two of them (Marv and Ronnie) were DEAD, and a THIRD member (Bobby) was NEAR DEATH. What they did to one of Music's GREATEST GROUPS back in 1987, was CRIMINAL....and , all of you people who ONLY PRAISE *SMOKEY*... and *IGNORE* the *REST* of *THE MIRACLES* ... need to *KNOW* this...because *YOU GUYS are JUST PERPETUATING the "IT'S ALL ABOUT SMOKEY" LIE!!*

@gregory hudson Unlike The Temptations, whose members pretty much couldn't STAND each other,(read Otis'book) THE MIRACLES were pretty much a FAMILY. The GIRL in the group (Claudette), was MARRIED to the LEAD SINGER (SMOKEY)...plus, her COUSIN (BOBBY) was ALSO a member of the group...and the OTHER members , (RONNIE, PETE, and MARV ), were also VERY CLOSE to each other .
williamg2552 interesting stuff indeed, not the part where berry Gordy disrespected the other members of the group though. Not cool
Awesome truth thanks and love the miracles and Smokey
I second that emotion ♥️
What great memories. I was a pup.
real MUSIC. black or white don't matter. Watched Barbershop the other night. Hadn't seen it in about 8 years. Laughed my a77 off. Cedric ROCKS!
I was maybe 7 standing up in the back seat of the car [remember those days?] my older brother said lets go to the store. I said I second that emotion. With a bust of laughter surrounding me, I had no idea what I'd done wrong. Smokey was to blame! Good memories. :)
What's with this "Smokey Robinson" garbage ? This ain't no solo "Smokey Song".
This is a *MIRACLES* song. Stop dissing *MOTOWN'S FIRST GROUP* .They deserve BETTER than to be kicked to the CURB and thrown under the BUS... so you can give *SOLE CREDIT* only to *SMOKEY* .
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet😎
Son of Robin is Smokin'
Hot
This is one of the best songs ever.
Listening to these oldies but goodies brings back so many memories
I grew up with listening to Smokey thanks to my mother and grandmother, and its still always a go to years later. My favorite is this and The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage.
I remember where I was when this song hit it's 23rd week on the music chart as #1, 1967 Standing on the corner of Washington and Western waiting to cross the street... on my way to the 9th grade @ Mt Vernon Jr High. Well it was announced before the light changed... My friends and I screamed and hollered as we brooked out doing the Pearl<<< the dance at that time. I was 14 now 66!!! THIS SONG WAS in the vernacular of the day "COOKING!!!"
God damn these oldies are good. 😉
African childrens
,my Favorite song by Smokey Robinson. ,,so Beautiful
October 19, 2019
On This Date in Music History - ( October 19th 1965 ) Smokey Robinson & the Miracles released "I Second That Emotion" on October 19th 1965 .The song was written by Smokey Robinson and Al Cleveland and was later a hit for Diana Ross & The Supremes and The Temptations . The two were inspired to write the song when they were shopping and Robinson bought some pearls for his wife Claudette , and when he said to the sales girl that they were beautiful Cleveland added "I second that emotion". Of course he had meant to say "I second that motion" and the two got a laugh out of it then went home and wrote the song based on Cleveland's misspeak at the checkout counter .
Interesting. TU for the background info.
That’s another precious little pearl of knowledge that adds to the legend of magical Motown! Thanks 🙏!!
❤❤❤❤❤
thanks for emotion information
65? I thought this SONG came out in 1967?
The office brought me here
True talent and true music will never die
I second that Emotion ,this is the best song they have out,,,,Smokey Robinson ,
Great record and singer !!!!
smokey had the smokiest voice of all
The first verse I remember listening from sublimes stp. 🤯🤯
Thank you so much daddy for putting me up on the best music of any life time I miss you so much life is crazy without you 😩😩
Many a relationship was developed on the back of this song.
Straight up classic.
I second this emotion ❤
Genius at work
That guitar Man!
Ty Detroit and the leaning tower of Watts.
Born in '71, I miss 45's. Motown is just Perfect America. Pure and just perfect. dancing my ass off
I was just telling somebody today how much I miss 45's too.
When I get my finances straight I'm gonna go get collecting all the amazing Motown stuff.
Timeless pop perfection.
Bill McIntosh Why? Digital is far superior. Even CDs are better by a milestone. I still like CDs but i'm not nostalgic for records or cassette tapes at all.
MOTOWN IS MUSIC!
This is music, not Like some of today's stuff.
Person recollection. Motown was a minefield....hey, Joe...
Thanks a lot
Golden classic
sometimes I just listen to the guitars on this track and I think its one of the hippest tracks ever recorded.. but knowing the rest of the song makes it something else... special song.
A NOTE to ALL SMOKEY "SOLO" FANS; Please READ THIS:

Lyrics - I second that emotion - Smokey Robinson
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat.
And maybe you'll go away and never call,
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.
Oh little girl!
In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I second that emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion.
Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around.
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
Oh little girl!
In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I second that emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion.
In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I second that emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Smokey Robinson is a Genius Songwriter
I was 10 in 67. grew to love this at 14
I was 17 in 67 and next stop was Vietnam.

King of Motown!
this song was something that brought people together unlike a lot of the divisive bullshit out now.
I second that emotion!
When black music was good. Not this rap crap you hear now.. This music had soul, Rappers have lost theirs
Love this song! An oldie but a goodie!
Great singer and song writer.
The Miracles are one of the best R&B groups of all time

This Song puts positive vibes in my heart. Love Smokey Robinson Music! 😋😋😎😎🕺🕺💯💯💯👌👌
I love all music but motown the most it gives me a inner pease makes me feel good to hear it
I grew up in an area where few blacks lived in the 50's 60's and I loved Motown, very few in my area did however, still my favorite music.
💐🌷💐MY MOTHER USE TO LOVE THIS RECORD WHEN SHE WAS ALIVE, AND MY FATHER USE TO PLAY THIS RECORD FOR HER WHEN HE WAS ALIVE💐🌷💐
Sweet & may they RIP together.
If there's a 'heaven', this is the kind of music that'll be played there.
I have no idea what it is to be French in this life. But I would say that I am irritated by the fact that I like the fact that they have something they imagine is their own. Like the rest of us.
Ah ! motown nothing compares today the music was great and so were the artists , total crap now.
