Aretha's Gold Lyrics

over that new paved highway
there is a house where love was made
not with screaming and touching
but with the records quietly spinning
and it was aretha's gold
and it was the way you told
me to just shut up and
try to enjoy myself
but that i can never do
so now it's joni's blue
oh, and dreams and dreams and dreams and dreams of you

so if you can't
treat her like a women, then
treat her like a baby doll
oh, and just leave her
in that bedroom where
you watched the summer tumble and fall

over the gardens through the schools
she waits alone by a swimming pool
a storm is brewing in her soul
when did it start
i like
to think
i know
well, it was a summer night
her sweet aunt had just died

she turned the corner and i knew all was about to change
and then i kissed your mouth
i felt your past somehow
oh, and your whole life flashed befor my eyes

so if you want to
treat her like a women then
pick her up like a baby doll
and rock her gently and
tell her that you're sorry and
then be willing to let her go
because you
you're as tameless as an ocean
i want to love you but commotion
oh, it ravages me whole
oh, and me
i'm as dramatic as the thunder
my lightning scares her, she rolls over
oh yeah, she needs to get some sleep

oh, and you
you'll be as famous as an ocean
they'll try to name you but commotion
oh, it will ravage them whole
oh, but me
i'm as dramatic as the thunder
my lightning scares her, she rolls over
oh yeah, she needs to get some sleep
