This song was originally written in 1965 for Little Anthony & The Imperials, who never recorded it due to a royalty dispute with the song’s owners. Instead, the Royalettes were the first to record the song.
[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
[Verse 1]
Loving you so (Ooh)
I was too blind to see you
Letting me go (Ooh)
Now that you've set me free
[Chorus]
It's gonna take a miracle
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new
'Cause I'm crazy for you
[Verse 2]
Oh, didn't you know
It wouldn't be so easy
Letting you go (Ooh)
I could have told you
[Chorus]
That it's gonna take a miracle, ooh
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle, ooh
To make me love someone new
'Cause I'm crazy for you
[Bridge]
Oh, now I know I can't (Now I know I can't, now I know I can't)
Get through to you
I promise I will show you how much you're
Turning me around (Turning me around, turning me around) Destroying me
I'll never be the same anymore
[Verse 3]
You must realize (Ooh)
You took your love and left me
Quite by surprise (Ooh)
You can be sure that now
[Chorus]
It's gonna take a miracle
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
To make me love someone new
'Cause I'm crazy for you
[Outro]
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle (Gonna take, gonna take a miracle)
Ooh (Gonna take, gonna take a miracle)
Gonna take a miracle (Gonna take, gonna take a miracle)
Yes, it's gonna take a miracle
