Smokey Robinson - It's Time to Stop Shoppin' Around lyrics

[Verse 1] You gave me space Girl, you gave me air You let me run and rip And when I'm done my trip You've been waiting right here You gave me leeway, you gave me my way Now you're acting like you're bout to give me the highway I better straighten up [Chorus] It's time to stop shopping around It's time to stop Duking of Earl It's time to stop Jimmy Macking And get myself back in Your arms again [Verse 2] I've been a rover Girl, I've been a mover You just swallowed your pride And stood on the side And let me maneuver You gave me freedom, you gave me rope I haven't already hung myself, I hope I better straighten up [Chorus] [Bridge] At first it was nice Taking mama's advice And play the game of pick-and-choose But along came you And that's when I knew I found that woman that I don't want to lose [Verse 3] My way was a dream Girl, your way is real You had to shake me up Just to wake me up Show me how I feel I showed you my way, you showed me your way Now you acting like you're bout to show me the doorway I better straighten up [Chorus]
