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 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
Said, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion, oh

Maybe you'll think that love would tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Or 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
Said, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

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
Said, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
(Oh, little girl, I second that emotion)
(Oh)

    General CommentIt's about a girl that is not interested in a committed relationship (or perhaps no relationship), and the guy who wants her is saying to her that the only way is that she will give him devotion.

    I like this song a lot, but I do prefer Japan's cover,
    although this original version is good as well.

    General Commentto me this song is about a guy who likes a girl but the girl doesnt like him for whatever reason. She feels that love will only drag her down.
    this is my theme song right now
    im currently going through this with someone
    "but if you feel like loving me and you got the notion, i second that emotion"
