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...
