"Who's Lovin' You" is a cover of The Miracles' song by American pop band The Jackson 5, released as the eighth track from their debut album, Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5.
It was initially released as a B-side to the "I Want You Back" single, and then released as a promo single in 1992 for the The Jacksons: An American Dream miniseries.
Background[]
"Who's Lovin' You" was written by Smokey Robinson and produced by Bobby Taylor. It was worked on at Hitsville USA in Detroit on multiple days, between July 19-August 7, 1969.[1] It was the last time that a Jackson 5 song was recorded at this studio, as Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown, shortly moved them to Los Angeles to record the hit pop songs he would co-write for the group with the Corporation.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
When I (When I) had you (Had you) I treated you bad
And wrong, my dear
And girl, since
Since you went away
[Hook]
Don't you know I sit around
With my head hangin' down
And I wonder who's
Lovin' you
[Verse 2]
I, I, I, I
Should have never, ever
Ever made you cry
And girl, since
Since you been gone
[Hook]
Don't you know I sit around
With my head hangin' down
And I wonder who's
Lovin' you
[Bridge]
Life without love
Is oh, so lonely
I don't think, I don't think
I'm gonna make it
All my life (All my life)
All my life, yeah (All my life)
Belongs to you only
Come on and take it, girl
Come on and take it
Because
[Verse 3]
All
All I can do
All I can do
Since you've been gone is cry
And you, oooh
Will never wonder
And worry your pretty little head
About what I do
[Hook]
Don't you know I
Sit around
With my head, yeah, hangin' down
And I wonder
Who's lovin' you
[Outro]
I, I gotta know, yeah (Who's lovin' you)
I, I, I, I wonder (Who's lovin' you)
Wh-who's lovin' you (Who's lovin' you)
I, I gotta know, yeah (Who's lovin' you)
Who's lovin' you, who's lovin' you baby (Who's lovin' you)
I, I gotta know (Who's lovin' you)
Who's, who's ...
