Aretha Franklin - It's My Turn lyrics
[Aretha Franklin - It's My Turn lyrics]
I can't cover up my feelings
In the name of love or play it safe
For a while that was easy
And if living for myself
Is what I'm guilty of go on and sentence me
I'll still be free
It's my turn to see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
That this time's just for me
Because it's my turn with no apologies
I've given up the truth
For those I've tried to please
But now it's my turn
Even though I don't have all the answers
At least I know that I'll
Take my share of chances
And there ain't no use in holding on
Because nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
Because the rain ain't going to hurt me
And I'll let you go
Although I know it won't be easy
It's my turn with no more room for lies
For years I've seen my life
Through someone else's eyes
But now it's my turn to try and find my way
And if I should get lost
At least I'll own today because it's my turn
Oh, it's my turn yeah
And there ain't no use in holding on
Because nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
Because the rain ain't going to hurt me
And I'll let you go
Although I know it won't be easy
It's my turn to see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
That this time's just for me
Because it's my turn to turn and say goodbye
I sure would like to know
That you're still on my side
Because it's my turn it's my turn
It's my turn
To start from number one trying to undo
Some damage that's been done
But now it's my turn
To reach and touch the sky
No one's going to say at least I didn't try
It's my turn yes, it's my turn
It's my turn it's my turn
In the name of love or play it safe
For a while that was easy
And if living for myself
Is what I'm guilty of go on and sentence me
I'll still be free
It's my turn to see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
That this time's just for me
Because it's my turn with no apologies
I've given up the truth
For those I've tried to please
But now it's my turn
Even though I don't have all the answers
At least I know that I'll
Take my share of chances
And there ain't no use in holding on
Because nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
Because the rain ain't going to hurt me
And I'll let you go
Although I know it won't be easy
It's my turn with no more room for lies
For years I've seen my life
Through someone else's eyes
But now it's my turn to try and find my way
And if I should get lost
At least I'll own today because it's my turn
Oh, it's my turn yeah
And there ain't no use in holding on
Because nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
Because the rain ain't going to hurt me
And I'll let you go
Although I know it won't be easy
It's my turn to see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
That this time's just for me
Because it's my turn to turn and say goodbye
I sure would like to know
That you're still on my side
Because it's my turn it's my turn
It's my turn
To start from number one trying to undo
Some damage that's been done
But now it's my turn
To reach and touch the sky
No one's going to say at least I didn't try
It's my turn yes, it's my turn
It's my turn it's my turn
