Think
Aretha Franklin · Aretha Now
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Think (think-think) let your mind go
Let yourself be free
Let's go back - let's go back
A let's go way on to way back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't a been too much more than ten (just a child)
I ain't no psychiatrist
I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much I.Q.
To see what you're doing to me
You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Yeah, think (think-think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
Oh freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom

Oh freedom
Oh freedom (freedom)

Oh freedom
Oh ya got to have
Hey! think about it
You! think about it
There ain't nothin' you could ask
I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
But I was gonna change ya, I'm not
If ya keep doin' things I don't (don't)
You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' ta do to me
(What you're tryin' to do to me)
Oh-oh-oh think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
People walk around everyday
Playin' games and takin' scores
Tryin' to make other people lose their mind
Well, be careful you don't lose yours
Ooh think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Woo-hoo, think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't cha' know)
Without each other
There ain't nothin' we two can do
Oooh yeah, think about it, baby
(What 'cha tryin' to do to me, think)
Better go baby, think about it right now
Yeah, right now (tell about - forgiveness)
Woo, right now (tell about - forgiveness)
Hey, right now (tell about - forgiveness)
I need to change your mind (think about it)
Baby, baby, baby

Woo, tell about it baby (tell about - forgiveness)
FADES-
Yeah, woo-hoo (tell about - forgiveness)
Tell about it baby, you think about it right now
