Aretha Franklin - Put It Back Together Again lyrics
[Aretha Franklin - Put It Back Together Again lyrics]
Woke up to a rainy day
Sun dried all of the rain away
Turned the sky from blue to grey
Love if our things work out that way
So I flipped through the pages
Of this old photo book
I had to take a second look
Of where we've been and where we've come from
And will we miss each other in the long run
Time and time again i wanted to please you
I didn't think I could leave you, but I did
Time never really was a friend
I didn't want it to end, but it did
Put it back together again
(Come on) Put it back together again
Now some hang on to "use to be's"
I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I know everything was changed
It's like a rolling down memory lane
So my mind says "Yes" and my heart says "No"
Tears roll like rivers flow
Like waves that toss and then turn rough
Wonder why a brother kicked a sister so tough
(Humph)
Time and time again i wanted to please you
I didn't think I could leave you, but I did
Time never really was a friend
I didn't want it to end, but it did
Put it back together again (Baby, baby, baby)
(Come on) Put it back together again
Face to face, it seems so long ago
But do we really know how
Far the light travels?
Anybody could tell this train would derail
Feel my heartstrings unravel
Ask me, "Do I? Do, do I still love ya?"
Although we've been through all of
The pain we've been through
But only time will tell if
We'll go through more hell
Or will we love each other
Better than we used to
Time and time again i wanted to please you
I didn't think I could leave you, but I did
Time never really was a friend
I didn't want it to end, but it did
Put it back together again
(Come on) Put it back together again
Come on, baby come on, baby
Come on, baby come on, baby
Put it back together again
I'm waiting, and I'm waiting, and I'm
Waiting on ya, baby, oh, yeah
Waiting, baby and I'm waiting
I can't stop loving you
I cannot, cannot, cannot
You know like I know that we should
(You know like I know that)
You know like I know that we should
(You know that like I know that we should
You know)
You know like I know that we should
(Baby, baby, baby, you know like I know)
You know like I know that we should
(Oh yeah, maybe one of these old days)
You know like I know that we should
(Maybe one of these old days
We put it back together again)
You know like I know that we should (Oh yeah)
You know like I know that we should
(You know like I know that we should, yeah
Baby) you know like I know that we should
(Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby)
You know like I know that we should
(You know that I know
We should put it back together)
You know like I know that we should
(Oh yeah, I'm waiting
I'm waiting and I'm waiting)
Sun dried all of the rain away
Turned the sky from blue to grey
Love if our things work out that way
So I flipped through the pages

And will we miss each other in the long run
Time and time again i wanted to please you
