Think
Aretha Franklin Lyrics

But, it don't take too much high IQ's
To see what you're doing to me

You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh, freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom)
Oh, freedom, yeah, freedom
Freedom (freedom), oh, oh freedom (freedom)
Freedom, oh freedom

Hey, think about it, think about it

There ain't nothing you could ask
I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
But I was gonna change, but I'm not
If you keep doing things I don't

You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Oh Lord, think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walking around everyday
Playing games, taking scores
Trying to make other people lose their minds
Ah, be careful you don't lose yours, oh

Think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me, ooh
Think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't you know)
Without each other there ain't nothing people can do, oh

Oh, hey, think about it, baby (What are you trying to do me)
Yeah, oh baby, think about it now, yeah
(Think about forgiveness, dream about forgiveness)
Think about forgiveness
Think about it, baby, baby
Think about forgiveness
Think about forgiveness
Think about forgiveness

You better think (think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
Let's go back, let's go back
Let's go way on, way back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't have been too much more than ten (just a child)
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degrees
But, it don't take too much high IQ's
To see what you're doing to me
You better think (think)

You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't you know)
Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do, oh
Think about it, baby (What are you trying to do me)
Yeah, oh baby, think about it now, yeah

To the ball, forgiveness
Think about it baby

I grew up listening to some of the greatest music ever produced, this song being one of them. Aretha was a woman, like a God mother, whom I looked up to and learned to borrow her poise and grit. Singing along with her this song is actually one of the more complex lyrically and vocally to follow. YES, this woman is the definition of what it means to be beautifully savage, in my opinion.

On me lançait des choux. Je vous jure. Chansons et visages et corps totalement conspués. Et mes lunettes tombèrent !
J'ai ressorti ces chansons dans les années 1980 pour les placer dans des films. Sinon elles sont restés dans un tiroir.
C'est vraiment cette gueule, cette voix et ces chansons qui ont mis fin à beaucoup d'amitiés. J'ai pas regretté même si parfois je pensais être aimé.

The year was 2001. Aretha Franklin was going to play Downtown Disney I had been listening to her for at least 35 years at this point in time and I was extremely excited that I was going. A bunch of us spent the day in Orlando, spending lots of money enjoying Disney and Downtown Disney. we enjoyed a nice dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe where ms Franklin was going to perform. we ate our meal went into the concert hall and there was an announcement that Aretha wasn't going to play cuz she was sick, but her band was still going to play so that none of us got any of our money back! to this day I have never seen Aretha Franklin. BOO!
