Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

What Did You Give

Monsieur, monsieur, avec tu, mon amour

We could be the very best of friends and maybe lovers

We could be on all the pages and the cover

A robin never sang a sweeter song

And our melody is like no others'

Love is where we are

And there's no denying

That we touched each other dearly

And I love it when you're near me

I gave to you, what did you give about your reasons why?

You didn't even try, yeah

You believe in games, yes, you believe in ploys

Ah, ah

And you can't see the love in your life

You've allowed your past sorrows

To rob you of your future joy

How can a jewel that shines so bright not see the path that enlightens us?

Believe in yourself as a man

My love, you are all but smitened

Broken wings can fly

They can fly again

And with a beauty unknown to you

Higher than you've ever, than you've ever been

Don't give up so quick, sweet baby

And what have you given of yourself lately?

I gave to you

What did you give?

About your reasons why

You know you know you didn't even try

I know you love me, why don't you say you do?

I'll be your everything kind of woman

And baby I'll give beaucoup love to you

Open up, baby

Open up and let the world back in

I am your woman
