Break It to Me Gently - Aretha Franklin

It was so easy baby, you made it so easy, yeah

You knew exactly what to say and do

Had all the answers, you knew how to please me

How’d you guess I’d fall in love with you?

Now I’m scared, oooh, I’m scared what we’re coming to

Oh, break it to me gently, be careful of what you say

And save it, save it, save it

Save it, save it, save it, save it for tomorrow

Maybe then you’ll stay one more day, hey yeah

It was so easy, baby, you made it so so easy, yes, you did

I’m weak now, darling, need your tenderness

I gave you my loving, oh baby, and all my sweet music

Why’d you give me what you knew I would need?

Are you sure, really really sure it has to end like this?

If you don’t love me, if you don’t need me

Oh, break it to me gently, be careful of what you say

And save it, save it for tomorrow

Maybe, baby you’ll stay, you’ll stay, oh, one more day

I need, I need you, I need you, baby

I need you, baby, one more hour

Oh yeah, I need you, oh I need you

Oooh baby, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now one more day

Oh yeah, I need you, baby, I need you

I need you, I need you, I need you one more hour

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I need you, baby, one more day
