Aretha - Rumer

I got Aretha

in the morning

high on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues

in springtime

Cause I know that I’ll never have the right shoes

Mama she’d notice but she’s always crying

I got no-one to confide in Aretha nobody but you

And mama she’d notice but she’s always fighting

something in her mind

and it sounds like breaking glass

I tell Aretha

in the morning

high on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues

in springtime

Cause I know that I’ll never have the right shoes

«You got the words

Baby you got the words

You got the words

Baby you got the words!»

Oh Aretha

Aretha I don’t wanna go to school

Cause they just don’t understand me and I think the place is cruel

«Child

Sing out

Raise your voice

Stand up on your own

Go out there and strike out!»

I tell Aretha

in the morning

high on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues

in springtime

Cause I know that I’ll never have the right shoes

But I got the words
