Warm Thoughts is an album by the American musician Smokey Robinson, released in 1980. It features the top 40 hit, "Let Me Be the Clock". The album was arranged by Reginald "Sonny" Burke.

The song "Travelin' Thru'" was written by Smokey's real-life sister, Rose Ella Jones, and two songs written by Robinson with fellow Motown artist, Stevie Wonder, and singer, songwriter, and former Starsky and Hutch star, David Soul. This album was a success, reaching the Top 20 of The Billboard 200 Pop Album chart, peaking at No. 14, and the Top 10 of Billboard's R&B Album Chart, peaking at No. 4.
