Franklin, Aretha - Sit Down And Cry Lyrics






Baby, no one could have told me
How could they have told me
When they didn't know?

I'd sit down and cry, baby
I'd sit down and cry, baby
Sit down and cry my heart out
Over you, oh

No one, no one could have warned me
That you would scar me yeah
And hurt me so bad

And that I'd sit down and cry, baby
I'd sit down and cry, baby
I'd sit down and cry my heart out
Over you

Oh, who would ever believe?
That lips sweet as yours
Sweeter than the honey
From the bees

Tell, who would ever believe?
That those same sweet lips
Would lie, lie like
Lie like you lied to me, yeah

Baby, no one, no one could ever told me
I wouldn't hear it
That you would have sold me, yeah
Down the river so fast

And that I'd sit down and cry, baby
I'd sit down and cry, baby, yeah
I'd sit down and cry my heart out
Over you

Yes I will, yeah, I will sit down and cry, baby
I will sit down and cry, baby
Sit down and cry my heart out
Heart out over you, yes I would
Hey, hey, hey, baby, yeah, sit down and cry baby

Franklin, Aretha Sit Down And Cry Comments
  1. A.... C....

    Nobody can match Aretha's singing!! She makes you feel and believe every single word.

  2. M.... D....

    In the history of recorded sound, nobody has a voice that can match this, period, nobody. All other singers trail in the Queens wake, those belts are literally on fire, desolate sounding supernatural power straight from the soul of mankind itself, channeling power from a divine source that cannot even be described.

  3. S.... M....

    This song just blows me away. She turned pain into art. The background singers kick ass too. I been listening to this song for a month straight..

  4. w.... ....

    Classic

  5. A.... ....

    Stuck on this song right now. It puts the blues in rhythm & blues. It is a neglected art form these days. It's just all rhythm. At 1:59 when she breathes out that line "that lips sweet as yours" I am dying.

    A.... ....

    Analisa416 so true. There is no blues in r&b. It a all pop but this is classic. I have played this all night many times and I wants sad. Just so much soul

  6. M.... T....

    After hearing this song. Aretha had me wanting to sit down cry. I know this is rhythm & blues but this song has so much soul! Wow! Sing "Queen of Soul".!

    M.... T....

    Umm this is called Soul Music
