Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Good To Me As I Am To You

If you had a dollar

And I had a dime

I wonder, could I borrow yours

As easy as you could mine?

Because when you need my love

And I give time after time

And turn around to find me no returns

Then, my friend, you've used my dimes

If there's water in the pitcher

And we both need a drink

To stay alive, my darling

I'd need less water than you'd think

My love, my love, these things, I swear, I say are true

And all I'm really saying is be as good to me as I am to you

Oh, yeah

Listen to this

Some people want

But they don't wanna give

They can do all of the wrong in the world

And got the nerve to not understand the meaning of loving me

Starting today

Tomorrow and forevermore

If you can't find it in your heart to do for me

Then, baby, just don't darken my front door

Baby

I want you to be as good to me as I am to you

Whoo, baby

I don't think that's asking you too much to do

Listen

Don't you walk around here

Feeling like you can treat me any ol' way

Using my love, my time, my heart

Day, day after day

Oh baby, baby

Be as good to me as I am to you

Whoo, whoo

Baby
