[Verse 1]
Oh baby
I feel your perfect love
Whenever my day begins
While brushing my teeth
Combing my hair
I feel you deep within
Ooh, I feel your touch, your touch
While eating my morning meal
While washing the dishes
Making up the bed
Last night was one of those things

[Chorus]
I think I'm caught in a love pang
Memories of last night
Something moves all through my body, baby
Making every little thing all right
Got good loving, such good loving
Memories of last night
Something moves all through my body, baby
Making every little thing all right
I think I'm caught in a love pang
Memories, memories of days gone by
Something moves all through my body, baby
Making every little thing all right

[Verse 2]
I feel, I feel the sun
While listening, listening to my favorite song
While I'm going to my job
Driving in my car
I wanna tell you that...

[Chorus]
I think I'm caught in a love pang
Memories of days gone by
Something moves all through my body, baby
Making every little thing all right

[Outro]
It shoots through my body
Caught in a love pang
Making every little thing all right
It shoots through my body
Caught in a love pang
Making every little thing all right
It shoots through my body
Caught in a love pang
Making every little thing all right
It shoots through my body
Caught in a love pang
Making every little thing all right

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.
