Here there is my rendition of the classic tune by Smokey Robinson.
A curiosity: both of my sources (besides having wrong chords, or at least
different from what I heard and wrote) say in last verse "I want to split
now". I hear "I want to spit now". Who's right?

Share&enjoy, .mau.

(disclaimer: I wrote chords as I heard them - they are not necessarily
correct, and they are definitely not copied from any published source).
