William Robinson nasceu em Detroit, Estados Unidos, no dia 19 de fevereiro de 1940.
Seu trabalho se expande por quatro décadas e abrange algumas das melhores canções do música soul.
Robinson formou os The Miracles em 1955 e com eles chamou a atenção de Berry Gordy Jr. (o todo-poderoso da Motown em 1957).
Em 1960, "Shop Around", composta por Robinson e Gordy foi o primeiro single a render um milhão de dólares à recém-nascida gravadora, que com isto decolou de vez.

GmBbCD (x2)
(Now you say):
Verse 1:
GBmEmC Every time you need some af-fection, GBmEmC The one you love goes in a-nother di-rection, GBmEmC And you just sit there in a daze, remi-niscing, GBmEmC When you know some other lips, he's been kissing.
Chorus 1:
GmBb Now when you need the love he's never shown you; CD Come round here, GmBb And when you need some loving arms to hold you; CD Come round here.
GBmEmC Now I may not be the one you want, GBmEmC Oh, but I know I'm the one you need. GBmEmC Said; I may not be the one you want, GBmEmC Ooh, but I know I'm the one you need.
Break:
BbF Your life stands still, the minute he goes, GmDG You count the hours, just hoping he shows, girl...
Verse 2:
GBmEmC Can't you see, while you're longing for his touch, GBmEmC That I'm the one who loves you so much. GBmEmC And while you're longing for his em-brace, GBmEmC You're all alone there, with tears on your face.
Chorus 2:
GmBb Now, when you feel the need to cry to someone; CD Cry to me, GmBb And when you feel the need to lean on someone; CD Lean on me.
GBmEmC Now I may not be the one you want, GBmEmC Oh, but I know I'm the one you need. GBmEmC Said; I may not be the one you want, GBmEmC Ooh, but I know I'm the one you need.
GBmEmC Now the days the days you sit a-lone by your-self, GBmEmC He's out fooling 'round with somebody else. GBmEmC Leaving you a-lone here, with nothing to do, GBmEmC Just waiting 'till he has time for you.
Chorus 3:
GBm Now when the loneliness gets hard to bear, girl; EmC Come round here, GBm And when you need a little tender loving care, girl; EmC Come round here.
GBmEmC Now I may not be the one you want, GBmEmC Oh, but I know I'm the one you need...
