You Can’t Take Me for Granted Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

He loves me
He loves me
He loves me now

I reminisce of how we used to be
Me so close to you, you so close to me
We lost our love and then we want it back
All of our yesteryears, they′ll always stay intact

You are the great love of my life
Precious moments, so tender, I feel
It is said that everybody has one
Oh my darling, I'm so glad that it′s you

You can't take me for granted
Though your picture's in my locket
I′m not in your back pocket
You can′t take me for granted
Tacky games just don't become you
Do you really want two undone, yeah?


You′ve got exquisite chance
Comes to you naturally
It works on all the rest
And sometimes it works on me
I miss you so much, my love
Think of you every day
And all of our yesteryears
Ooh, you're the sweetest way, yeah

I sing of love to give
Sweet bitter love is so literally true
How do I know that our love will endure?
Kisses so sweet, and you touch is so sure

You can′t take me for granted
Though your picture's in my locket
I′m not in your back pocket
You can't take me for granted
Tacky games just don't become you
Do you really want two undone, yeah?

And he loves me sometimes
Sometimes he loves, he wants, he talks
And I love him sometimes thought it may seem
(My nighty) my nighty, a pipe-dream


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sing of love to you
Sweet bitter love is so literally true
Darling I know this love will endure
Your kisses are so sweet
Your touch is so sure

You can′t take me for granted
Though your picture′s in my locket
I'm not in your back pocket
You can′t take me for granted (oh Mr. Goodstuff)
Tacky games just don't become you (they don′t become ya)
Do you really want two undone, yeah? (I know you don't know, baby)

You can′t take me for granted (I won't be another that you're using)
Though your picture′s is in my locket (no, I won′t fall)
I'm not in your back pocket
You can′t take me for granted
Tacky games just don't become you (they don′t become ya)
Do you really want two undone, yeah? (Tell, tell, tell me)

You can't take me for granted
Though your picture′s in my locket
I'm not in your back pocket (no, no)
You can't take me for granted (no, no, no, no...)
Tacky games just don′t become you
Do you really want two undone, yeah? (No, no, no, no...)

You can′t take me for granted (no)
Though your picture's in my locket (picture′s in my locket)
I'm not in your back pocket (not in your pocket, baby)
You can′t take me for granted
