Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do)Aretha Franklin

Songwriter: Clarence Paul Morris Broadnax Stevie Wonder

Producer: Arif Mardin Aretha Franklin Jerry Wexler

[Verse 1]
Though you don’t call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door (your door)
Tap on your window pane (tap on your window pane)
I want to tell you, baby
Changes I’ve been going through
Missing you, listen you

[Chorus]
'Til you come back to me that’s what I’m gonna do

[Verse 2]
Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free?
I’m going to swallow my pride (my pride)
I’m going to beg you to please, baby please see me (baby won't you see me?)
I’m going to walk by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
All for you baby

[Chorus]
'Til you come back to me that’s what I’m gonna do

[Bridge]
Living for you, my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
Hear my plea (hear my plea)
I’ve got to make you see (make you see)
That our love is dying (our love is dying)

[Verse 3]
Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must, somehow I must, how I must explain
I’m going to rap on your door (your door)
Tap on your window pane (tap on your window pane)
I’m going to camp by your steps
Until I get through to you (uuuh)
I’ve got to change your view, baby

[Chorus]
'Til you come back to me that’s what I’m gonna do
'Til you come back to me that’s what I’m gonna do
'Til you come back to me that’s what I’m gonna do

[Outro]
I’m going to rap on your door (tap on)
Tap on your window pane (tap on)
Open out baby, I’m gonna rap on your door (tap on)
Tap on your, tap on your (tap on)
Tap on your , tap on your window pane (tap on your window pane)
I’m going to rap on your door (tap on)
Tap on your window pane (tap on)
Open out baby

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin is both a 20th and 21st century musical and cultural icon known simply by her first Aretha. She is the reigning and undisputed “Queen Of Soul” with a legacy that spans five decades. A native of Detroit, Michigan, Aretha began her career singing gospel at her father, minister C. L. Franklin’s church as a child. In 1960, at the age of 18, Aretha embarked on a secular career, recording for Columbia Records with modest success.

After moving to Atlantic Records in 1967, she released a steady string of US top ten hits through 1973 including “Spanish Harlem”, “Chain Of Fools”, “Baby I Love You”, “Since You’ve Been Gone”, “Daydreaming”, “The House That Jack Built”, “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", ”Think“ and her first chart-topper “Respect” – a song that also won Aretha her first of 18 Grammys. During this time, several of her songs were also successful overseas.

By the mid-70s, Aretha’s commercial success waned and she left Atlantic for Clive Davis' Arista Records in 1980. Her 1982 song “Jump to It,” returned her to the top 40 for the first time in six years. 1985’s Who’s Zoomin' Who? got her back into the top 10 twice with its title track and “Freeway Of Love”. Four more songs reached the top 40 through 1986.
