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.

G (*Riff) There you were, beautiful; AmGAmG The promise of love was written on your face. G (*Riff) You led me on, with untrue kisses; AmGAmG You held me captive in your false em-brace.
Bridge 1:
FC Quicker than I could bat an eye, FC Seems you were telling me good-bye.
Chorus 1:
GCGC Just a minute ago your love was here, GCGC All of a sudden, it seemed to disap-pear. GCGC Sweetness was only heartache's camou-flage; GCGC The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.
G (*Riff) We used to meet in romantic places; AmGAmG You gave the i-llusion that your love was real. G (*Riff) Now all that's left are lipstick traces; AmGAmG From the kisses you only pre-tended to feel.
Bridge 2:
FC And now our meeting, you a-void, FC And so my world, you have des-troyed.
Chorus 2:
GCGC Just a minute ago your love was here, GCGC All of a sudden, it seemed to disap-pear. GCGC The way you wrecked my life was like sabo-tage, GCGC The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.

Bridge 3:
FC You only filled me with de-spair, FC By showing love that wasn't there.
Chorus 3:
GCGC Just like the desert shows a thirsty man, GCGC A green o-asis where there's only sand. GCGC You lured me into something I should have dodged, GCGC The love I saw in you was just a mi-rage.
