Without The One You Love

Aretha Franklin · Try A Little Tenderness [2013]

what is romance?

without the one you love

its heartbreak and misery

without the one you love

you fool yourself and say

that i'll forget him

and knowing all the time that its not so

you play the lonely roll of polyarchy

crying on the inside and hurting that much more



life can seem so cruel

without that one you love

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

how much you'll never know

but life can seem so lonely, so lonely

without the one you love



oh

one telephone, one telephone call

one line, write me one line or so

could mean a world of difference

just how much you'll never, you'll never know



but life can seem so lonely

without the one you love



lonely without the one you love...
