#93 Think (Aretha Franklin) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You better think (think)
Think about what you’re trying to do to me
Think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free🪄
Let’s go back, let’s go back
Let’s go way on, way back when
I didn’t even know you
You couldn’t have been too much more than ten (just a child)
I ain’t no psychiatrist, I ain’t no doctor with degrees
But, it don’t take too much high IQ’s
To see what you’re doing to me🪄
You better think (think)
Think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free🪄
Oh, freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom)
Oh, freedom, yeah, freedom
Freedom (freedom), oh, oh freedom (freedom)
Freedom, oh freedom🪄
Hey, think about it, think about it🪄
There ain’t nothing you could ask
I could answer you but I won’t (I won’t)
But I was gonna change, but I’m not
If you keep doing things I don’t🪄
You better think (think)
Think about what you’re trying to do to me
Oh Lord, think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free🪄
People walking around everyday
Playing games, taking scores
Trying to make other people lose their minds
Ah, be careful you don’t lose yours, oh🪄
Think (think)
Think about what you’re trying to do to me, ooh
Think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free🪄
You need me (need me)
And I need you (don’t you know)
Without each other there ain’t nothing people can do, oh🪄
Oh, hey, think about it, baby (What are you trying to do me)
Yeah, oh baby, think about it now, yeah
(Think about forgiveness, dream about forgiveness)
Think about forgiveness
Think about it, baby, baby
Think about forgiveness
Think about forgiveness
Think about forgiveness

#92 I Say A Little Prayer (Aretha Franklin) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you🪄
Forever, and ever,
(you’ll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever,
(we never will part Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever,
(that’s how it must be to live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me, ooh🪄
I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you🪄
Forever, and ever,
(you’ll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever,
(we never will part Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever,
(that’s how it must be To live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me🪄
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe, oh-oh🪄
Forever, and ever, ever
(you’ll stay in my heart and I will love you)
(Forever) Forever, and ever,
(we never will part Oh, how I love you)
(Together) Together, forever,
(that’s how it must be to live without you)
Would only mean heartbreak for me, nobody but me🪄
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
Answer my prayer
Answer my prayer now babe
Say you love me too
Answer it right now babe
Answer my prayer

#46 Sweet Sweet Baby Since You’ve Been Gone (Aretha Franklin) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Baby baby, sweet baby
There’s something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin’ in a real cold way🪄
Speak your name
Ooh and I feel a thrill
You said I do
Hey, and I said I will🪄
I told you to just be true
And give me just a little time
Wait on me, baby, I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue🪄
Since you’ve been gone, baby
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)
Since you’ve been gone
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)🪄
Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn’t mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips but not in my heart
To say the things that led you to stray🪄
But ah, me
Hear me now
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
Got to get you back somehow🪄
I’m praying, take me back
Consider me please
If you walk in that door, I can get up off my knees
I’ve just been so blue🪄
Since you’ve been gone, oh baby
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)
Since you’ve been gone
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)🪄
Well I’ve been so lonely
(Sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby
Baby, since you’ve been gone
(Sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby)🪄
I’ve been so lonely
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)
Since you’ve been gone
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)🪄
Baby baby baby been so lonely
(Sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby)
