One look in your eyes
Baby, just turns me on
So inviting to me
You know, I feel that they're my home
(Darling, reach out just for me)
And darlin', I had to surrender
With no sense of pride
Your touch from behind
On my shoulder, so tender
(The deepness of your eyes)
Oh, I can't stop lovin' you, baby
(The devious of your eyes)
I feel your lov-ing, all the time it was, your fate
(The deepness of your eye)
*The wheel of fate and fortunes standing
For a long appointed date, hey-hey (fool ya)
People say that the eye just opens
And may mirror the soul
Tell me, do we reflect the sameness as one
The unity to have and to hold?
(Darling, reach out just for me)
I tend our love in quiet seclusion
Only you can say
If this is love or just an illusion
(The deepness <he devious!> of your eyes)
Oh, I can't stop lovin' you, baby
(The deepness <'can't help but see your lies> of your eye
I feel your lov-ing, all time we have (is dead)
(The deepness (deviousness) in your eyes)
The wheel of fate and fortunes standing
For a long appointed day-yeah-yeah
No, I can't stop lovin', the days we had
(The deepness in your eyes) <day's gone>
I see your lies, believe I'll untie your hand-an-an-an-hands
(The devious in your lies)
Now, I keeps on lovin' you, baby
(The devious 'heaven help us see ' (scum around)
Fall dead
I feel love, all the time
(The devious scum around) scum around
No, I can't stop loving
Your devious calls
(The de-e-evious man around)
I admit it
I see the light, wake up, fella!
(The deepness of your lie)
Yes, I do
No, I can't stop lovin', your devious calls
(The devious scum around)
Scum lover
I wanna see ya CRAWL!
CRAWL, home!
(The devious man around)
No, I can't stop lovin' him
(The devious run around)
Who baby? Who baby?
*(Who is abusing my love?)
Abuse your love
(He abuses your love it's over now (over town)
Ooh, yeah
(I can't stop lovin')
Lovin' ya, baby
(The devious run around)
Lovin' you, baby
Lovin' you, baby
Fades:
Lovin' you all blind
(Abused his love it's over).

re: The lines:
'The wheel of fate and fortunes standing
For a long appointed date'
Other iconic representations of Fortune showed her as a beguiling woman presiding over a spinning circle or wheel on which one's fortunes would rise and fall in conjunction with the unpredictable forces of chance, accident, and occasion. The concepts of fate and fortune have also been interpreted as one's inexorable destiny, quite simply as the end result of divine providence, or more problematically in the context of human free will.

As Aretha's song unravels this tale of her lying man, her backing chorus starts to create the words they sing from 'deepness' to 'devious' as you will hear one exclaim, after the line, 'If this is love or just an illusion 'The deepness (He devious!)of your eyes. Then on later to ' devious scum around'
By the end of the song, she's agreeing with the girls in the chorus:
'I admit it, I see the light, wake up fella, Yes I do' and she would like him to crawl home.
She ends the song, obviously still in love with him and though abused, loving him all blind.

Interesting arrangement with echo causing lyric confusion for transcribing. It's too good a song to let fade away.
