The Makings of You Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

Darling, darling, darling
Oh baby

Add just a little more sugar, honeysuckle
A great big expression of happiness
Boy, you couldn′t miss
With a dozen roses
Such will astound you
The joy of children laughing all around you
These are the makings of you
And it is true, the makings of you

The righteous way to go
Little ones would know
Or believe if I told them so
And you're second to none, baby


The love of all mankind
Should reflect some sign
Of these words that I′ve tried to recite
They're close but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Describing the makings of you

Oh it's been a miracle for what you′ve done
Please baby stay by my side
We two can be one for the righteous way to go

You are my recipe, baby
And so much more it is to me
And a faithful spiritual union
We grow, oh the glow you brought in me a pride

I just don′t wanna hurt
This love I had for you is so beautiful
Can had my notion cheer all of you
So true, reimagine the makings of you

Baby, baby, baby
Baby, sweet baby
The makings of you


We are, we are
The makings of you
Shall we get there, get there
The makings of you
Sweet baby
All of you
