With Pen in Hand Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

With pen in hand
You sign your name
Today at five
I might be on that train
You′ll be free
And I will be alone
Alone (alone)

If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think that I can′t make it all up to you
Then I'll be gone
You'll be on your own
On your own (your own)

And this is what I wanna know
Can you take good care of the children?
Can you take them to school every day?
Can you teach them how to catch the fish
And keep all of the bullies away?
Can you keep them away?


And tonight as you lay in your lonely, lonely bed
And you try to tell me that when you look at the pillow
Where I laid my head
With your heart on fire
Would you have no desire (have no desire)
To kiss me? (To kiss me)
To kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss me

And if you can forget
The good times we had
If you think that the good
The good outweighs the bad

Then sign your name
And I′ll tell you what
I′ll be on my way
My way

I'll be on my way
Yeah, I′ll be on my way, baby
You know I'm the one, you gonna want me back
My way (sign), sign (my way, sign)
You know you love me
And you know that I need somebody to love (sign)

Baby don′t sign (my way, sign)
Baby don't sign (my way, sign)
Baby (my way, sign)
Baby don′t sign, don't sign
