Biografía:
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.

Intro: (Spoken)
G C
When I became of age, my mother called me to her side,
A7
She said; "son, you're growing up now,
D7
Pretty soon you'll take a bride". And then she said;
Verse 1:
G7 C7
"Just because you've be-come a young man, now,
G7 C7
There's still some things that you don't understand, now.
G7 C7
Before you ask some girl for her hand, now,
G7 C7
'Keep your freedom for as long as you can now".
Chorus 1:
A7 D7 (n.C)
My mama told me;
G7 C7
"You better shop a-round", (shop, shop a-round), a woah-yeah,
G7 D7
You better shop around, (shop, shop a-round). Uh-uh-uh...
Verse 2:
G7 C7
"There's some things that I want you to know, now,
G7 C7
A-just as sure as the wind's gonna blow, now.
G7 C7
The women come and the women gonna go, now,
G7 C7
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so, now".
Chorus 2:
A7 D7 (n.C)
My mama told me;
G7 C7
"You better shop a-round", (shop, shop a-round), a woah-yeah,
G7 D7
You better shop around, (shop, shop a-round).
Bridge 1:
C7
"A-gotta get yourself a bargain, son,
G7
Don't be sold on the very first one.
C7
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen';
A7 D7
A-try to find one who's gonna give ya true lovin'".
Verse 3:
G7 C7
"Before you take a girl and say; I do, now,
G7 C7
A-make sure she's in love a-with you, now".
Chorus 3:
A7 D7 (n.C)
My mama told me;
G7
"You better shop a-round".
Interlude:
G7 C7 (x4)

Oh-hey-hey-hey...
