    On this day 60 years ago, The Supremes began recording this classic song in Studio A at Hitsville U.S.A

    I’ve tried so hard, hard to be patient
    Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
    But each time you are together
    I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever

  14. Baby, baby
    I'm aware of where you go
    Each time you leave my 🚪
    I watch you 🚶🏾‍♂️ down the street
    Knowing your other love you'll meet
    But this time before you 🏃🏾 to her
    Leaving me alone and hurt
    Think it over🤔
    After I've been good to you
    Think it over🤔
    After I've been sweet to you
    STOP! In the name of love
    Before you break my 💔
    Think it over🤔
