i'll try something new

smokey robinson & the miracles

i will build you a castle with a tower so high

it reaches the moon

i'll gather melodies from birdies that fly

and compose you a tune

i'll give you lovin' warm as mama's oven

and if that don't do

then i'll try something new

i will take you away with me as far as i can

to venus or mars

there we will love with your hand in my hand

you'll be queen of the stars

and every day we can play on the milky way

and if that don't do

then i'll try something new

i will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea

to wear in your hair

i'll do anything and everything to keep you happy

girl

to show you that i care

i'll pretend i'm jealous of all the fellas

and if that don't do

then i'll try something new

i'll take the stars and count 'em

and move a mountain

and if that don't do

i'll try something new

on the moon above

i'll write it's you that i love

and baby

if it don't do

i'm gonna try something new

oh

well if at first i don't succeed

try again is what i'll do

always trying something else

always trying something that's new
