Since You've Been Gone Lyrics - Aretha Franklin
Review The Song (2)
Baby baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way
Speak your name
And I feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will
I tell you that just be true
and give me just a little time
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue
Since you?ve been gone, baby
(why?d you do it? why?d you have to do it?)
Since you?ve been gone
(why?d you do it? why?d you have to do it?)
(bridge)
Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips,
But not in my heart
To say the things that led you to stray
But ah, me
Hear me now
(hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(hear me)
Got to get you back somehow
(hear me now)
I'm praying
Take me back,
consider me please
If you walk in that door,
I can get up off my knees
I've just been so blue
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Well I've been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Baby, since you've been gone
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
I've been so lonely
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you'do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Baby baby baby been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
There's something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way
Speak your name
And I feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will
I tell you that just be true
and give me just a little time
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue
Since you?ve been gone, baby
(why?d you do it? why?d you have to do it?)
Since you?ve been gone
(why?d you do it? why?d you have to do it?)
(bridge)
Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips,
But not in my heart
To say the things that led you to stray
But ah, me
Hear me now
(hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(hear me)
Got to get you back somehow
(hear me now)
I'm praying
Take me back,
consider me please
If you walk in that door,
I can get up off my knees
I've just been so blue
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Well I've been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Baby, since you've been gone
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
I've been so lonely
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you'do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Baby baby baby been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)

Lyric Correction | Reviewer: Mikael-Tyrone Stafford | 6/28/12
The correct lyrics for the phrase "I'm praying, take me back..." is actually: "I'm trying, take me back...". This one word always had be confused until I began to analyze the meaning of this song. In other words, Aretha is apologizing and attempting to get another chance. In her attempt, she is trying.
A Seldom Heard Gem From the Queen of Soul | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/4/05
It's a shame that oldies stations only play Aretha Franklin's "Respect" when she has a whole catalogue of great songs. "Since You've Been Gone" is a pop gem that stands up there with anything she's done. The arrangement and vocals are stirring to listen and dance to. One of Aretha Franklin's songs that this reviewer can play over and over and never get tired of listening to.
