Franklin, Aretha - Save Me Lyrics






Save me, somebody save me...
Save me, somebody save me... yeah...

Promised myself after the first romance,
I wouldn't give ya a second chance...
They say if you seek, you're sure to find,
But the closer I get to you, baby, you drive me stone outta my mind...

Save me! Oh, yeah...
Save me! Yeah, yeah...

Those who love always give the most;
We're cryin' together from coast to coast...
Love leaves us cold and hurt inside,
These tears of ours, unjustified...

Beggin' you to save me! Yeah, need somebody to
Save me! Yeah... hey, hey, hey...

Yeah... Mm-hmm...
Yeah... Mm-hmm...

You lied and said you needed me!
You abused my love, set me free...
You didn't need, you didn't want me;
Somebody help me, this man wants to taunt me!

I'm beggin' you to, oh, save me... hey...
Please, save me...

Callin' the Cape Crusader, Green Hornet, Kado too;
I'm in so much trouble, I don't know what to do...
If you think anything about me, save me!
Oh yeah, yeah, c'mon...
Understand! Save me!
Anybody! Save me!
Whoo! Oh, oh, oh, save me!
Whoo! Oh, oh, oh, save me!

    This track is such a cool groove. I've just watched Aretha doing the diner scene in 'The Blues Brothers' movie. She's wearing slippers on her feet and dressed in very plain clothes, but she just steals the scene, and makes it her own. A pleasure to watch.

    Franciska Zajc Thank you for these perfect and on point lyrics to Aretha’s song.

  44. c.... c....

    anit that it!!

  45. T.... B....

    the best. she had somethin to say on that one. her soul was letting it out

  46. t.... p....

    powerful sista!

  47. T.... K....

    I remember everyone getting this confused with Fontella Bass' "Rescue Me"!!!...I don't see how but they did!!!

  48. d.... ....

    The riff came from Help Me (Get the Feeling) by Ray Sharpe (1966). King Curtis got a writing credit on both tracks.

    d.... ....

    Ray Sharp took it from Them's "Gloria" released 2 years earlier. That's where the riff originally came from. Jimi Hendrix played on Help Me (Get the Feeling) by Ray Sharpe and later did his own version of Gloria with the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

  49. h.... ....

    The intro sounds like Gloria ...having said that Aretha Franklin top artist great track top marks 355

  50. T.... T....

    Aretha Franklin is my favorite female artist!!

    T.... T....

    She blows my mind. The songs are so good too, they have such a great groove. And that voice is on another level. I get chills so much.

    T.... T....

    long live the (Queen of Soul)!  Gone but not forgotten!😱🤠

  51. B.... ....

    YOU THE BOMB... EXPLOSIVE... BLOWIN' MFS AWAY!

  52. l.... ....

    SOUL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BONE.

  53. B.... N....

    Top tune! Will never fade from shining like a thousand stars!

  54. E.... K....

    I remember when I was little, My mother was listening to this song. It has always stuck with me.

    E.... K....

    ENDER Kid good

  55. S.... A....

    I always loved you Aretha

    S.... A....

    Samir Abu Shama me to

    S.... A....

    Sheila Mccullough *too

  56. L.... E....

    So that's where AC/DC stole the riff for "Jailbreak"!

  57. S.... B....

    What a wonderful song, so full of the soulful energy that Aretha brought to Atlantic Records.  This song was co-written by Aretha, her sister Carolyn and King Curtis.  No wonder they called her Lady Soul.

    S.... B....

    +Sashine B. King Curtis and band recorded this in 67 on the Memhis Soul Stew Lp and named it Instant groove, but the original was King Curtis with Ray Sharpe singing and cornell dupree and jimi hendrix playing guitar on the same song , this time called Help Me from late 65/early 66. Just type in Ray Sharpe ,"Help Me'

    S.... B....

    +foxfive Thanks, very interesting. So then, should Aretha and Carolyn have been credited as songwriters for this? Was there ever a problem with disputes over who actually wrote the song, or in using the riffs, etc.?

    S.... B....

    I think King Curtis got the half the royalties and Aretha and her Sis got got half on her version. It's credited to franklin and Ousley who was King Curtis, real name Curtis Ousley

    S.... B....

    Sashine B. mine too

  58. i.... ....

    wow...what a lady...truly the queen!. I bow to you oh majesty of soul.

  59. e.... ....

    My God , she is blowing you away !!!!! Save me !!
