Aretha Franklin - Someone Else's Eyes Lyrics






This is my life and it's my right to live
The way I want to live each day
That's what I wanna say
And this is my song

And for too long I sang someone else's melody
It wasn't really me
Somehow I took myself for granted
In someone else's eyes

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
I can't love you, I can't love me through someone else's eyes

You were the sun, I was the one who just
Revolved around you day and night
You were my only life but if I were free
Baby, I'd take control of everything inside of me

Find who I wanna be
I'd never take myself for granted
In someone else's eyes

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
I can't love you, I can't love me in someone else's eyes

I gotta show myself I can still exist without a man
Gotta finally take control, gotta see myself as whole with you
Though you're not the one to blame, I was lost inside your name
And I'll never be the same till I find a way back home again
In someone else's eyes

I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
When I, I can't, I and I will not, you can't make me
Ooh, someone else's eyes, ooh, baby, baby, baby

Till I find a way back home again
Through someone else's eyes

I saw reflections of a girl I was, hey, caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
I can't love you, I can't love you through someone else's eyes, ooh

Someone else's eyes, no baby, ooh
Someone else's eyes, can't do it, I can't do it
I, I love you, sweet baby, I wanna be with you, baby
Through someones else's eyes, ooh

Someone else's eyes, oh, baby
Oh yeah, someone else's eyes
I wanna be by your side
God haven't you heard this lady's cry?

    The most underrated Aretha song ... and the best. Powerful melancholia

  12. r.... n....

    The haunting voice of the dearly departed Queen of Soul simply gives me goose bumps in most, if not all, of her incredible songs. This is pure God given talent that gave us so many fond memories. It would take a genius to eulogize Aretha Franklin

  13. J.... G....

    Hermosa canción,me gustaría que alguien me haga la traducción. Cuando estoy triste la escucho y me dá mucha energía.

  14. s.... p....

    I still can’t believe Aretha is gone.

  15. O.... D....

    i helplessly love it ....

  16. V.... M....

    someone else's eye who does it reffered to????

    V.... M....

    Research her background you will understand

    V.... M....

    Her first marriage was very abusive. She married a philanderer

    V.... M....

    To her ex husband, Ted White. I guess

    V.... M....

    Carol Bayer Sager write this song, and she wrote this song for her husband at this time Burt Bacharach

  17. V.... M....

    eish this is the music...

  18. H.... M....

    Lovely god can give and he also took away an angel,god bless her soul,we were blessed with her voice and beauty.

  19. V.... B....

    RIP and will always love you Queen of Soul! I love the song and making sure people here this amazing song with an incredible message for all liberated women!
