One of Smokey Robinson’s most personal and vulnerable compositions, ‘More Love’ is a vow of eternal devotion to his wife and fellow Miracle Claudette, following a string of miscarriages on the road. Talking to Nelson George, Smokey explained:
After she had a miscarriage she would always tell me she...
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Let it be soon, don't hesitate
Make it now, don't wait
(Right now, my love, don't wait)
Open your heart and let my love come in
I want the moment to start
When I can fill your heart
[Chorus]
With more love and more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
And my love will be so solid
It would take a hundred lifetimes
To live it down, wear it down, tear it down
[Verse 2]
This is no fiction, this is no act
This is real, it's a fact
(So real my love, it's a fact)
I'll always belong only to you
Each day I'll be living to
Make sure I'm giving you
[Chorus]
More love and more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
Oh honey, now, my love will be so solid
It would take about a hundred lifetimes
To live it down, wear it down, tear it down
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
As we grow older, no need to fear
When you need me, I'll be here
(Need me, my love, I'll be here)
I'll be beside you every step of the way
A heart that's truthful
And keeping you youthful
[Chorus]
With more, yeah, more joy
Than age or time can ever destroy
Oh honey, now, my love will be so solid
It would take about a hundred lifetimes
To live it down, wear it down, tear it down
[Chorus/Outro]
Gonna give you more, ooh, and more joy
Than any age or time could ever destroy
Oh baby, now, my love will be so solid...
