Aretha Franklin
In the Morning
[Intro]
Hear me, baby
Hear me, hear me, hear me, hear me, hear me
Hear me, boy
[Verse 1]
Nobody knows me
Not like the way you know me
Nobody showed me
The ways of love
So now when you hold me
And you promise you won't control me
My mama told me
To always be for sure
[Chorus]
I want to know
Will you love me
I want to know
Will you care
In the morning
Oh, I want you to treat me right
I don't want you to play with my life
I don't want to be the other woman
I want us to matter and mean something
I want to be with you
But before I do...
[Verse 2]
I want you to fill me
I'm ready and oh so willing
I'm willing to give you
Every part of me
So come on and soothe me, baby
I want you to touch and move me
You can consume me
Take all of me, my love
[Chorus]
I want to know
Will you love me
I want to know
Will you care
In the morning
Oh baby, I want you to treat me right
Oh, you can't, you can't, you can't play with my life
I don't want to be the other woman
No no no no no no
I want us to matter and mean something
I want to be with you
But before I do...
[Bridge]
I want to know
Do we have an understanding?
I've got to know
Are you giving or demanding?
I can't give you no more
'Cause I've poured out my soul
All for you
All for you
I wanna to know
Is there someone else you're loving?
Tell me, have you got another woman?
Would you be a good man?
Come on and make a true stand
Can we share our lives?
[Outro]
I want to know
Will you love me
I want to know
Will you care
In the morning
In the morning, baby; in the morning, baby
In the morning, baby, baby, baby, yeah yeah yeah
I want to know, yeah
I don't want to be the other woman
I want us to matter and mean something
I want to be with you
Oh, but before I do...
I want to know
Will you love me
I want to know
Will you care
In the morning
In the morning, baby; in the morning, baby
I want you to treat me right
I'm ain't gon' let you play with my life
I don't want to be the other woman
I want us to matter and mean something
