Aretha Franklin - Take It Like You Give It

Why Was I Born?

Why was I born?
Why am I livin'?
What do I get?
What am I givin'?

Why do I want a thing
I daren't hope for?
What can I hope for?
(I wish I knew)

Why do I try
To draw you near me?
Why do I cry?
You never never ever hear me

I'm a poor fool
But what can I do?
Why was I born
To love you?

Why do I try
To draw you near me?
And, tell me, why do I cry?
You never ever ever hear me

I'm a poor fool
But what can I do?
Why was I born?
Why was I born?
Why was I born
To love you?
