Aretha Franklin

[Chorus 1]
Prove it, Prove it, Prove it, Prove it to me

[Verse 1]
Prove
That it won't bother me
To become your used to be
Prove
That I can just Ignore
All the love we shared before

Prove it to my starving Heart
Prove it to my starving Heart
Prove it now before we part
Prove it now before we part

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
Prove
The loneliness I'll find
Will be only in my mind
Prove
That all these tears that fall
Aren't really tears at all

Prove that I don't want to die
Prove that I don't want to die
Now that you say, "It's goodbye
Now that you say, "It's goodbye

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 3]
Before you walk out that door
Prove, I won't love you no more
Prove that i'll forget your kiss
In your arms, I'll never miss
Never Miss
Now let me see you
Prove it
Just let me see you
Prove it

[Chorus 2]
Prove,that I don't want to die
Now, That you say, "It's Goodbye

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 3]
Let me see you
Prove it
Just let me see you
Prove it

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 3]

[Chorus 1]

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.
