(Aretha Franklin)

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' 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 to way back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't a 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 I.Q.
To see what you're doin' to me

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

Oh freedom (freedom)
Let's have some freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom
Yeah freedom (yeah)

You got to have freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom (freedom)
You need you some freedom
Oh freedom
Ya got ta have
Hey! think about it
You! think about it

There ain't nothin' you could ask
I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
But I was gonna change ya I'm not if
You keep doin' things I don't (don't)

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
(What you're tryin' ta do to me
Oh-oh-oh think (think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free

People walkin' around everyday
Playin' games and takin' scores
Tryin' to make other people lose their minds
Well be careful you don't lose yours

Oh think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Woo-hoo think (think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free

You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't cha know)
Without each other
There ain't nothin' we two can do

Oooh yeah think about it baby
(What cha tryin' to do me think)
Let it go baby
Think about it right now
Yeah right now (think about ..forgiveness)
Whoa right now (tell about ..forgiveness)
Yeah right now (tell about ..forgiveness)
I need to change your mind (think about it)
Baby baby baby woo (tell about it..forgiveness)
Think about it baby (tell about forgiveness)
FADES-




Yeah woo-hoo (tell about forgiveness)
Tell about it baby baby baby (think about it..)

Overall Meaning

The song "Think" by Aretha Franklin is a call for freedom and demanding respect from someone who is not treating her well. She asserts her independence and self-worth by commanding the person to think about what they are doing to her and to let their mind go free. The lyrics suggest that the person she is addressing has been trying to control and manipulate her, and she will not stand for it any longer. The repetitive refrain of "think" underscores the importance of reflection and introspection in situations of conflict and encourages a resolution that is fair and equitable for both parties. Overall, "Think" is a powerful anthem for anyone striving to assert their independence and demand respect.
