"Think"
by Aretha Franklin
(In 4/4 time. 4 bar Intro)
chorus
You'd better Think!
Think!
Think about what you're
Trying to do to me
You'd better Think!
Think! Think!
Let your mind go
Let yourself be free
verse 1
Let's go back
Let's go way back
Let's go way back to way on when
I didn't even know you
Couldn't have been
Much more than ten
I ain't no psy-chi-a-trist
Ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much IQ Too see what you're doing to me
chorus
You'd better Think!
Think!
Think about what you're
Trying to do to me
You'd better Think!
Think! Think!
Let your mind go
Let yourself be free

FREEDOM!
FREEDOM!
FREEDOM!
FREEDOM!
verse 2
There ain't nothing you could ask
I could answer you, but I won't
I was gonna change you if
You keep doing things I don't
People walking everyday
Playing games and keeping' scores
Tryin' to make me lose my mind
Be careful you don't lose yours!
chorus
You'd better Think!
Think!

Trying to do to me
You'd better Think!
Think! Think!
Let your mind go
Let yourself be free
