Me and my baby We had a big fight And we ended our romance the same night In a angry mood She walked out the door And he said he saw her going to an Aretha Franklin show
Hey, Aretha, play one for me One that will let her know I’m as miserable a man could be Will you sing a song, that will touch her heart And make her sorry that we are apart
I don’t know if taking requests is part of your show If you do me this one favor I’ll be grateful to you forever more Many romances have been saved through your sound Your records have touched so many lovers, so many times
Miss Aretha, sing one for me One that will let her know I’m as miserable a man can be Will you sing a song, that will touch her heart And make her sorry we are apart
Play the song I could never love in anyone loved like I love you Respect since you been gone call me tonight Baby baby baby A Bridge Over Troubled Water too And I can’t see myself leaving you
Hey, Aretha, play one for me One that will let her know I’m as miserable a man could be Will you sing a song, that will stay with her heart And make her sorry we are apart
Miss Aretha, sing one for me One that will let her know I’m as miserable a man can be
