Christian Quotes by Aretha Franklin
Angel
I got a call the other day
It was my sister, Carolyn, sayin
Aretha, come by when you can
I've got somethin I wanna say.
And when I got there she said
You know, rather than go through a long drawn out thing,
I think the melody on the box, will help me explain
Gotta find me an angel, to fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel, ooh and set me free
My heart is without a whole, I don't want to be alone
I gotta find me an angel in my life, in my life
Too long have I loved, so unattached within
So much that I know that I need somebody so
So I'll just go on hoping that I find me someone
Find me an angel in my life
In my life
I know there must be someone, somewhere for me
Oh I lived too long without the love of someone
And there's no misery ooooooh oooh like the misery
I feel in me, gotta find me an angel in my life
(He'll be there now don't you worry)
My life (keep lookin and just keep cookin)
My life (he'll be there, now don?t you worry)
My life

A Rose is Still a Rose
There was a rose I knew, I met her once or twice before
She was a pretty sweet thing, not the least bit insecure
Then you came with your slick game and played with her youth
Ashamed of the way you lied, played with the truth, hey, hey
Mmm, she never knew what hit her
Steal her honey, then forget her
A rose
She wears a flower
Tryin' to forget about you
'Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power
Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt myself
When he tells you that he loves you and sees nobody else
And now you're so tough tryin' to wear tight clothes and things
Tossin' and flossin', tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings
Oh…oh…yeah
When she faces the mirror, yeah
She's cryin', you can't hear her
Now the rose is still a rose
She wears a flower, tryin' to forget about you
'Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Baby, girl, you hold the power
See a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power
Let your life be in the sunshine
Not the darkness of your sorrow
You may see your all today
When you know it'll come tomorrow
Tough to be, but life ain't over
Just because your man is gone
Girl, love yourself and love to love
'Cause without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on
'Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Baby, girl, you hold the power
See a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power

It brings big tears into my eyes,
When I began, When I began to realize,
That cried so long,
Since you've been gone,
I guess I'm drowning drowning in my own tears,
I been crying Just like a child

Why can't you Come on home (you Come on home)
Because I don't want to be
I don't want to Be here all alone

If you don't think that you're coming home soon

Groovin'
Now all crew come get some sunshine
Summer time vibes come back again
Tell all your friends man!
Groovin' on a summer afternoon.
Groovin' couldn't get away too soon.
Now every woman every man come listen this one
From the heartical dan Mr. Pato Banton.
Me comin' in c-comin' in c-comin' in strong
With a positive summer time vibration.
Cause in the winter me can't take the cold
Body start shiver when the breeze start blow.
Car can't start cause the engine froze
Can't move me fingers, can't feel me toes.
But in the summer when the sun shine bright
Kick off me boot put on me air nike.
Leave me car and jump pon me bike
It's this kind of weather I like.
Well everyday people are in a rat race
But if I could I would just slow down the pace.
Like a record on a deck, switch the speed
From 45 down to 33.
Woh! Nice and slow
Sun a shine and breeze a blow.
Lord! Nice and easy
Just a chill with me friends and family.
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't no place I'd rather be instead of groovin'!
Now in the struggle of life to achieve success
Everyone goes through some form of stress.
The rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Lawyer and the doctor, even the priest.
House That Jack Built
This is the house that Jack built, y'all
Remember this house!
This was the land that he worked by hand
It was the dream of an upright man
There was the room that was filled with love
It was a love that I was proud of
This is the life, the life that he planned
On the love, the same old loved
Of the house that Jack built.
Remember this house!
There was the fence that held our love,
There was the gate that he walked out of
This is the heart it has turned to stone
This was the house, it ain't no home
This is the love that I destroyed
On the day that I toyed with love,
This is the house that Jack built,
I'm gonn' remember this house!
Oh-ohh wha-a-at's the use of crying?
You know I brought it on myself
There's no denying
But it see-e-ee-ems awful funny
That I didn't understand
Until I lost my upright man
Up on the hill
Everything stands still
In the house that Jack built
I'm gonna remember this house
Listen!
I got the house
I got the car
I got the rug
And I got the rack
But I ain't got Jack
And I want my Jack back!
I turned my back on Jack
He said he wasn't coming back
I turned my back on Jack
He said he wasn't coming back
Ohhh, Jack
You oughta come on back
Ohh Jack
You oughta come on back
To the that you built
It's the same one that you built
I didn't understand
Until I lost a upright man
Come on back Jack
I Never Loved a Man
You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, but they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
'Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could you hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don'cha never, never say that we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
I can't sleep at night
And I can't eat a bite
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me
Whoa, oh, oh
Yeah! Yeah!
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man that hurt me so bad
No
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it...
I Will Survive
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side,
But then I spent so many nights
just thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back
From outer space,
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon you're face,
I should have changed that stupid lock,
I should have made leave your key,
If I'd known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me.
Go on now go,
Walk out the door,
Just turn around now,
Cause you're not welcome anymore,
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyes
Do you think I'd crumble?
Do you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I will survive
I will survive
Hey Hey!
It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high.
And you'll see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me
Go on now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you I crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Hey hey!
Rock-a-Bye Your Baby With a Dixie Melody
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie.
Just hang my cradle, mammy mine,
Right on that Mason Dixon line,
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the heart that's in ya.
Weep no more, my lady.
Sing the song for me.
Soft and low, just as though
You had me on your knee.
A million baby kisses I'd gonna deliver,
The minute that you sing that Swanee River.
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody.
Weep no more, my fair lady.
Why don't you sing the song for me.
Soft and low, just as though
You had me, had me on your knee.
A million baby kisses I said, said I'm gonna deliver,
The minute that you sing that Swanee River.
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody.
A million baby kisses I'm gonna deliver,
The minute that you sing that Swanee River.
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody.
See Saw
Sometimes you love me like a good man ought-ta
Sometimes you hurt me so bad my tears run like water
You get me up right before your friends
Then you disown me baby 'til we're alone again
Your love is like a see saw. Your love is like a see saw baby
Your love is like a see saw, goin' up and down all around

Sometimes ya tell me ya don't need my sweet candy man
And then sometimes baby I don't know where I stand
You lift me up when I'm on the ground
But as soon as I get up top you send me tumblin' down
Now your love is like a see saw. Your love is like a see saw baby
Your love is like a see saw, goin up.... down
All around
Just like a see saw
When I kiss you and I like it and I ask you to kiss me again
When I reach for you ya jump clean out of sight
You change just like the wind
That ain't right. That ain't right. That ain't right. That ain't right baby
Your love is like a see saw. Your love is like a see saw baby
Your love is like a see saw, goin up goin' down
Goin' all around

Your love is like a see saw baby. Your love is like a see saw
Goin' up goin down
All around
It's like a see saw yeah
See saw baby
