Aretha Franklin — Without the One You Love Original Session Take

[Intro] One, two, three [Verse 1] What is romance without the one you love? Well, it's heartbreak and misery without the one you love You fool yourself and say "I'll forget him" And knowing all the time that it's not so You play the lonely role of Pagliacci Crying all day and sad and hurting and much more Life can seem so cruel Without that one you love [Bridge] You're like a dying rose in summer without the one you love One telephone call One line, one line or so Could mean a world of difference Just lovebirds, you'll never You'll never, ever, ever, ever know But life can seem so lonely without the one you love [Outro] One, one telephone call You know that charge'll brighten me one line or so All of this could mean a world of difference Just lovebirds, you'll never, ever, ever know But life can seem so low, so lonely Without the one you, you love, mmm, mhm
