With Pen in Hand - Aretha Franklin

With pen in hand you sign your name

Today I find I’ll be on that train

And you’ll be free and i will be alone

So alone

If you think we can’t find

The love we once knew

If you think I can’t make

Everything up to you

Then I’ll be gone

And you’ll be on your own

You’ll be on your own

Can you take good care of Jenny

Can you take her to school everyday

Can you teach her how to play

All the games that little girls play

Here what I say

Can you teach her how to roll up her hair

Can you make sure each night

That she says her prayers

Well if you can do these things

Then maybe she won’t miss me Maybe she won’t miss me And tonight as you lay

In that big lonely bed

And you look at that pillow

Where I laid my head

With your heart on fire

Will you have no desire

To kiss me Or to hold me And if you can forget

The good times that we had

If you don’t think the good times

Outweigh the bad

Than go ahead and sign your name
