What Did You Give Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

Monsieur, monsieur, avec tu, mon amour

We could be the very best of friends and maybe lovers
We could be on all the pages and the cover
A robin never sang a sweeter song
And our melody is like no others′

Love is where we are
And there's no denying
That we touched each other dearly
And I love it when you′re near me

I gave to you, what did you give about your reasons why?
You didn't even try, yeah
You believe in games, yes, you believe in ploys
Ah, ah


And you can't see the love in your life
You′ve allowed your past sorrows
To rob you of your future joy
How can a jewel that shines so bright
Not see the path that enlightens us?
Believe in yourself as a man
My love, you are all but smitened

Broken wings can fly
They can fly again
And with a beauty unknown to you
Higher than you′ve ever, than you've ever been
Don′t give up so quick, sweet baby
And what have you given of yourself lately?

I gave to you
What did you give?
And about your reasons why
You know you didn't even try
I know you love me, why don′t you say you do?

I'll be your everything kind of woman
And baby I′ll give beaucoup love to you
Open up, baby
Open up and let the world back in
I am your woman
