 Harrison wrote " Tired of Midnight Blue " in Los Angeles , where he continued to be based for much of 1975 on business relating to Dark Horse Records . In his 1980 autobiography , I , Me , Mine , he says that the song 's lyrics focused on his " depressed " state following a night in an LA club with " a lot of grey @-@ haired naughty people " . In Tillery 's estimation , with its chorus line " Made me chill right to the bone " , " Tired of Midnight Blue " was Harrison reaching " rock bottom " . As the most obvious example of his embracing of soul music on the album , he wrote " Ooh Baby ( You Know That I Love You ) " as the first of two tributes to Smokey Robinson , a singer whose work with the Miracles he had admired since the early 1960s .
