Doggone Right

About Doggone Right

"Doggone Right" is a 1969 single recorded by The Miracles (aka Smokey Robinson & The Miracles) for the Tamla label. Written by Miracles members Smokey Robinson and Marv Tarplin along with Motown staff songwriter Al Cleveland and produced by Robinson, the single peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It was also a Top 10 R&B hit, peaking at #7. "Doggone Right" was the A-side to the double-sided Miracles' hit single, Tamla T54183. "Here I Go Again", contrary to popular belief, was the "B" side, although both sides charted within the top 40 of the Hot 100. Smokey Robinson sings the main lead vocal on the song. Miracles bass singer, Warren "Pete" Moore, has got also a lead on the part where he echos "Doggone right", first sung by the group. The song's lyrics relate that, when the narrator feels down, his girl will cheer him up. The narrator also tells that he would be true to his girl if she would accept his love. As befitting an "A" side recording, The Miracles premiered this song for national television audiences on a 1969 telecast of The Ed Sullivan Show, marking their second appearance on the program. more »

Mmm, you make me feel just like
I'm the luckiest man to ever live
'Cause all the love one man
Could possibly get, honey you give

In your voice, soft and low
There's a little something
That let's me know

If you took your heart
And made it mine
I would be true
Till the end of time

Ooh yeah, doggone right
(Doggone right)

You brighten up baby
Each and every day that I have to face
And if the sun don't shine
Your smile is there to take its place

Smooth and warm tender touch
Letting me know that it means so much
To be loved by somebody who (somebody who)
Is just as much in love as you

Oh yeah, doggone right
(Doggone right) oh yeah

Said you're doggone right
(Doggone right)

Oh, you're doggone right now
(Doggone right)
Oh you're doggone right

Ooh, when I am sad
You take the time to be concerned
It makes a man feel so good
To know that his love is being returned

Eenie meenie miny moe
Love is a guessing game I know
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
But I've got to win 'cause it's you that I choose

(I choose) ooh yeah
Doggone right (doggone right)
Doggone right (doggone right)
Said you're doggone right (doggone right), ooh baby
(Doggone right)

If you think I'm gonna stay (doggone right)
Let nobody take my love away (doggone right)
