Aretha Franklin - Someone Else's Eyes lyrics
[Aretha Franklin - Someone Else's Eyes lyrics]
The way I want to live each day
That's what I want to say
And this is my song
And for too long I sang someone else's melody
It wasn't really me
Somehow I took myself for granted
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I
Was who caught me by surprise
Seeing a woman who's defined by you
I never realized i can't love you
I can't love me through someone else's eyes
You were the sun, I was the one who just
Revolved around you day and night
You were my only life, but if I were free
Baby, I'd take control of
Everything inside of me
Find who I want to be
I'd never take myself for granted
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I
Was who caught me by surprise
Seeing a woman who's defined by you
I never realized i can't love you
I can't love me through someone else's eyes
I got to show myself I can
Still exist without a man
Got to finally take control
Got to see myself as whole with you
Though you're not the one to blame
I was lost inside your name
And I'll never be the same 'til I
Find a way back home again
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I
Was who caught me by surprise
Seeing a woman who's defined by you
I never realized i can't love you
I can't love me through someone else's eyes
Got to find my way back home again
Through someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I
Was who caught me by surprise
Seeing a woman who's defined by you
I never realized i can't love you
I can't love me through someone else's eyes
Ooh, someone, someone else's eyes, no baby
Ooh someone else's eyes, can't do it
I can't do it i, I love you, sweet baby, I
Want to be with you, baby
Through someone else's eyes, ooh
Someone else's eyes, oh baby
Ooh, oh yeah, someone else's eyes
I want to be by your side
Oh, but you hurt this lady's pride
