Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

It's My Turn

I can't cover up my feelings

In the name of love

Or play it safe

For a while that was easy

And if living for myself

Is what I'm guilty of

Go on and sentence me

I'll still be free

It's my turn

To see what I can see

I hope you'll understand

This time's just for me

Because it's my turn

With no apologies

I've given up the truth

To those I've tried to please

But now it's my turn

If I don't have all the answers

At least I know I'll take my share of chances

Ain't no use in holding on

When nothing stays the same

So I'll let it rain

'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me

And I'll let you go

'Though I know it won't be easy

It's my turn

With no more room for lies

FOR YEARS I'VE SEEN MY LIFE

Through someone else's eyes

And now it's my turn

To try and find my way

And if I should get lost

At least I'll own today

It's my turn

Yes, it's my turn

And there ain't no use in holding of

When nothing stays the same

So I'll let it rain

'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me

And I'll let you go

'Though I know it won't be easy

It's my turn

To see what I can see

I hope you'll understand

This time's just for me

Because it's my turn

To turn and say goodbye

I sure would like to know

That you're still on my side

Because it's my turn

It's my turn

It's my turn

To start from number one

Trying to undo

Some damage that's been done

But now it's my turn

To reach and touch the sky

No one's gonna say

At least I didn't try

It's my turn

Yes, it's my turn

It's my turn

It's my turn

It's my turn
