"I'll Be in Trouble" is a single by the Temptations, released in 1964 for the Gordy (Motown) label and written by the Miracles' lead singer Smokey Robinson.
As the song's narrator, Kendricks asks his lover to always stay with him, telling her "no matter what you do or say, I know I'm gonna love you anyway", and if she leaves anyway "I'll Be in Trouble."
Sure enough this song does have a similar sound as the previous single, and the label hope it would repeat (and surpass) the success of "The Way You Do the Things You Do".
However, as it was only a Top 40 Pop hit, it did not meet with the expected degree of success, and producer/songwriter Norman Whitfield would be given the next single (the Kendricks led "Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)").
When it also failed to hit the desired placing on the Pop charts, Robinson would return as The Temptations producer beginning with "My Girl".
