Aretha Franklin
(Sweet, Sweet Baby) Since You’ve Been Gone
[Intro]
Baby, baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just gotta say
Baby, baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cruel way
[Verse 1]
Speak your name
And I'll feel a thrill
You said, "I do", huh
And I said, "I will"
[Bridge]
I tell you now just be true
And give me just a little time
Wait on me, baby
I want you to be all mine
I've just been so blue
[Chorus]
Since you've been gone, mm, baby
Since you've been gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Baby, baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was part of my lips, but not in my heart
To say the things that I made you say
[Bridge]
My, my
Hear me now
I don't know what I'm going to do
Got to get you back somehow
Hear me now
I'm trying
Take me back
Consider me, pleasе
If you walk in that door
I can get up off my knees
I've just been so blue
[Chorus]
Sincе you've been gone, mm, baby
Since you've been gone, ah-ha
I've been so lonely
Since you've been gone, mm-hmm
I've been so lonely
[Outro]
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone, mm-hmm
Since you've been gone
I-I've been so lonely
