Aretha Franklin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you
Look at my heart floating away
He's the kind of guy that would say
"Hey, baby, let's get away, let's go some place, huh"
He's the kind of guy that you give your everything
And trust your heart, share all of your love, 'til death do you part
I wanna be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feelin' love starved
I'll be there to feed it
I'm lovin' him a little bit more each day
He turns me right on when I hear him say
(Hey, baby, let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby, can we?)
Where, I don't care
(Hey, baby, let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby, can we?)
Where, I don't care
I wanna be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feelin' love starved
I'll be there to feed it
Lovin' him a little bit more each day
It turns me right on when I hear him say, ooh
(Hey, baby, let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby, can we?)
Where, I don't care
(Hey, baby, let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby, can we?)
Where, I don't care
(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Look at my heart floating away)
(Daydreamin') thinking of you
(Daydreamin')
Thinking of you
Daydreamin'

@JonathanReynolds1
The backing singers were her sisters! They also sang with her in the Blues Brothers movie. She also had Cissy Houston (Whitneyβs mother) as a backing singer too.
