Aretha Franklin - I'll Dip [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo

[Verse 1]
There was a rose I knew
I met her once or twice before
She was a pretty sweet thing
Not the least bit insecure
Then you came with your slick game
And played with her youth
Unashamed of the way you lied
Played with the truth, hey hey
Mmm, she never knew what hit her, yeah
Steal her honey, then forget her
A rose, she wears a flower
Trying to forget about you

[Chorus]
Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darling, you hold the power

[Verse 2]
Now believe me when I tell you
That I've been hurt myself
When he tells you that he loves you
And sees nobody else
And now you're so tough trying to
Wear tight clothes and things
Tossing and flossing
Trying to fill the void heartbreak brings
Oh yeah, when she faces the mirror, yeah
She's crying, you can't hear her
Now the rose is still a rose
She wears a flower, trying to forget about you

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 3]
Let your life be in the sunshine
Not the darkness of your sorrow
You may see you're all today
When you know it'll come tomorrow
Tough to be, but life ain't over
Just because your man is gone
Girl, love yourself and love to love
Cause without him your life goes on

[Bridge]
Without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on

[Chorus][x2]
