Sparkle
Aretha Franklin · 100 Hits Legends-Aretha Franklin [2010]
Loving the way that I do
(It is true) I feel so good
Just having you
Breathlessly and Eager
Submission isn't easy for me
(We were so loving wasn't we)
I always known it could be
Don't want to do nothing
Tied against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill
You got to know just how it feel
And if you think your going to fall
All you have to do is call
I have nothing in my self
and I give my self to you
Say child tingle sparkle
I hope the love never breaks away
keep the fire burning everyday
save all the warmth for you
just want you to know
when your jealousy shows
understand there will be no other man
but you baby
You can believe
this love in me
as i believe in you
and when times are low
and i am really on your mind
everybody needs some time
something funky good and kind
and you always seem to please me
and you wear me down so easy
good work is never done
til the morning comes
