  • I will build you a castle with a tower so high
    'Till it reaches the moon
    I'll gather melodies from birdies that fly
    And compose you a tune
    Give you lovin' as warm as Mama's oven
    And if that don't do
    Then I'll try something new
    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 king of the stars
    Every day we can play on the Milky Way
    And if that don't do
    I'll have to try something new
    I'll try something new

    I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea
    To wear in your hair
    (Thank you)
    I'll do anything and every little thing to make you happy, boy
    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 try something new Writer/s: SMOKEY ROBINSON, WILLIAM ROBINSON JR.

  • Jennifur Sun from RamonaStill my favorite song Smokey ever wrote. loved that Harp on the opening of the Miracles version
  • Jennifur Sun from RamonaMy fav Miricles song. Can't imagine a guy loving you enough he would write something like this, although hearing about the baseball game sort of deadens that thrill. love the harp opening on it especially.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn April 13th 1969, Diana Ross appeared, as a solo artist, on the NBC-TV special 'Dinah Shore's Like Hep' show...
    At the time she had two records on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; at #25* with the Supremes & the Temptations with "I'll Try Something New" and lower down the chart at #53 with just the Supremes with "The Composer"...
    Her first solo effort to make the Top 100 would come a year later in April of 1970 with "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)"; it would peak at #20 on the chart...
    * #25 was its peak position on the Top 100, it was at #25 for two weeks.
