[Intro: Smokey Robinson]
Ooh-hoo-ooh, ah-ha-ah

[Verse 1: Smokey Robinson]
A little bitty man in a great big world
Struggling hard to be heard by someone, yeah
It can't be denied that I'm in need
But what I need is to be really free, mhm, mmm

[Pre-Chorus: Smokey Robinson]
You've been passing me right by
But now it's time you heard my cry

[Chorus: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles]
Hey, what about me
I said hey, what about me

[Verse 2: Smokey Robinson]
A little more love and a little less hate
Would make this world a happy place
You know it's true
If you search your heart, you will find
That someone you have pushed behind
Is a man just like you

[Pre-Chorus: Smokey Robinson]
I'm a man and of this I'm proud
That's why you'll hear me crying loud
[Chorus: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles]
Hey, hey, what about me

[Bridge: Smokey Robinson]
I'm not the kind to complain about things
Now the small don't mean nothing at all
But I find there's no need of trying to deny
There's love enough for all

[Chorus: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what about me

[Refrain: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 3: Smokey Robinson]
Every man has a right to free
Regardless of his race
Free to make a stand in his own land
Free to take his own place

[Outro: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles]
I said hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what about me, mhm
