Here I Go Again (The Miracles song)

Moore and Johnson were the song's producers. A heart-rending ballad, Robinson, as the song's narrator, portrays a man falling deeply and hopelessly in love with a young woman, yet afraid to do so due to a bad previous relationship that ended in heartbreak and failure: :"My heart said to me ... don't walk head-on into misery ... Hey, with your eyes wide open, Can't you see ... A hurt's in store ... Just like before..." In the end, however, love wins out, outweighing his fears and apprehensions: :"Here I Go Again... walking into love... never thinking of the danger that might exist... disregarding all of this just for you..." Cash Box described it as "very slow" and "shimmery" and "exquisitely produced and tailored to the soft-soul sounds." ==Personnel: The Miracles==
