Drown in My Own Tears

Aretha Franklin


It brings big tears into my eyes, 
When I began, When I began to realize, 
That cried so long, 
Since you've been gone, 
I guess I'm drowning drowning in my own tears, 
I been crying Just like a child 
These tears of mine, these tears are runnin' wild 
And if you don't think, If you don't think that you'll be home soon 
Baby I'm going to drown, Oh yeah, in my own tears 

Here without you (You) 
I get so lonely and I sure got blue (Blue) 
Yes I do 
It seems to keeps raining (raining) raining and raining 
More and more (More and more) 
without you baby 
I sure get lonely and I get so blue 
You know for a time I look around it's raining 
More and more More and more More and more 
Why can't you, (You) Why can't you 
Why can't you Come on home (you Come on home) 
because I don't want to be 
I don't want to Be here all alone 
Listen, If you don't think (If you don't think) 
If you don't think that you're coming home soon 
You got me (think) 
I believe I'm going to drown this morning (drown) 
I tell you that I'm going to drown this evening (drown) 
I guess that I'll 
(drown in my own tears) 
Ooh, don't lettum' let me, don't lettum' let me, 
don't lettum' let me, 
don't lettum' let me, don't lettum' let me (drown) 
drown in my own tears (drown) 
Im going to drown yeah in my own tears (tears) (tears) (tears) My tears (tears) 
Oh, don't let them do it 
don't let them do it 
don't let them do it 
Drown in my own tears
