Aretha Franklin Medley: Baby, I Love You / Since You’ve Been Gone / Ain’t No Way (Live at HBO’s from Washington, D.C, 1997)

If you want my lovin'
If you really do
Don't be afraid baby
Just ask me
You know I'm gonna give it to you

Oh and I do declare (I do)
I wanna see you with it
Stretch out your arms little boy
You're gonna get it
'Cause I love you
(Baby, baby baby I love you)

Ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you
(Baby, baby baby I love you)
(I love you, I love you)
(I love you, I love you)
Baby I love you, yes

If you feel you wanna kiss me
Go right ahead I don't mind
All you got to do is
Snap your fingers
And I'll come runnin'
I ain't lyin' (I ain't lyin')
And oh, want it once
Little boy you know you got it
I'd deny my own self (I'd deny my own self)
Before I see you without it
'Cause I love you

(Baby, baby baby I love you)
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you
(Baby, baby baby I love you)
(I love you, I love you)
(I love you, I love you)
Baby I love you, come on

Someday you might want to run away
And leave me sitting here to crying
But if it's all the same to you baby
I'm gonna stop you from saying goodbye
(Goodbye)
Baby I love you
(Baby, baby, I love you)
Hey, Baby, I need you
(Baby, baby, I need you)
Hey, Baby, I want you
(Baby, baby, I want you)
Hey, Baby, I love you
(Baby, baby, I love you)
Hey, Baby I love you
(Baby, baby, I need you)
Hey, Baby, I need you
(Baby, baby, I want you)
Hey, Baby, I love you
(Baby, baby, I love you)
Hey, Baby, I need you
(Baby, baby, I love you)
Hey, Baby, I

Baby, baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just got to say
Baby, baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way
Speak your name

And I'll feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will

I told you that I'll stay true
And give you just a little time
Wait on me, baby
I want you to be all mine
I just been so blue

Since you've been gone
(Why'd you do it?) Why'd you do it?
(why'd you have to do it?)

Since you've been gone
(Why'd you do it?) Why'd you do it?
(why'd you have to do it?) Come on

Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips
But not in my heart
To say the things that made you stray
Ooh, baby

I hear me now
(Hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(Hear me)
Just get you back somehow
(Hear me now)

And I'm trying
Take me back
Consider me please
If you walk in that door
I can get up off my knees
But I've just been so blue
(blue)

Oh, baby
(Why'd you do it?) Why'd you do it?
(why'd you have to do it?)

Since you've been gone
(Why'd you do it?) Why'd you do it?
(why'd you have to do it?)

I've been so lonely
(Sweet sweet) Sweet sweet
(sweet sweet baby) Sweet sweet baby

(Sweet sweet) Oh, baby
(sweet sweet baby) since you've been gone

(Why'd you do it?) Why'd you do it?
(why'd you have to do it?) Why'd you help do it?, baby

(Why'd you do it?) Why'd you do it?
(why'd you have to do it?) I've been so lonely
Hear me now

Ooh...

Ain't no way
For me to love you
If you won't let me
It ain't no way, way, way
For me to give you all you need
If you won't let me give all of me
(ooohh)

I know that a woman's duty
Is to he—lp and love a man
And that's the way it was planned, my love, oh
(ooohh) Oh how can I, oh how can I, how can I
Give you all the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands?

Oh, it ain't no way (ain't no way)
It ain't no way, baby (ain't no way)
Ain't no way (ain't no way)
Ain't no way, Ain't no way (ain't no way, Ooh)
Ain't no way (Oooh)
For me to love you, My darling
If you won't let me

Stop trying to be someone you're not
How cold and cruel is a man
Who pay too much for what he got? my love now

And if you need me to give
Say, say you do
Because you, me, me
Don't you know me, me
Oh, Oh, it ain't no way (Ain't no way)

Ain't, Ain't, Ain't no way, baby (Ain't no way)
It ain't no way, It ain't no way (Ain't no way)
It ain't no way, It ain't no way (Ain't no way)
It ain't no way (ain't no way, Ooh)
For me to love you, my darling
If you won't let me, Ooh, ooh
(Oooh)
(Oooh)
Ain't no way, no way, no way
