Put You Up On GameAretha Franklin

[Intro]
Come over here, sweetie
I really wanna talk to you for a few more moments, hey
Lemme put you up on game
Lemme put you up on game
Says you gotta tell me something

[Verse 1]
Sure, you're in love again
You never sure he's gonna be the one
Cause on the first night he didn't try to get the ooh-wee
Just 'cause he kissed you on the cheek and called you baby
It doesn't mean he's running no game
Oh, could you listen for a minute?
You ain't the one who's in it
Yeah, i know i'm getting twisted, i ain't hating
Cause i been there and i've done that
I'm just watching you play

[Chorus]
Lemme put you up on game
Every man is different but the game won't change
Lemme put you up on game
So you don't make the same mistakes i made
Lemme put you up on game
Players make the players and the players play the game
So before you go and you take his last name
Lemme put you up on, up on, up on game

[Verse 2]
Oh, i understand what you're saying
And i know you tested the waters in your days
And you been through some things
He might just be the one, [?]
There's something 'bout him so different
Yeah, to know yourself a little better
I'm trying to help you, girl, for what it's worth
Cause you done been there and done that
No, i won't go out like that, no, hey

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I don't wanna see him hurt you
Oh, don't worry about me, i'll be okay
I done said the same thing before
But that was way back in the day
Sometimes you think
That you know but you don't
So follow my advice, don't let it happen twice
You gotta look around

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
I understand what you're saying
No, you don't, i want you to listen to me
I already know all that, you really don't
Listen to the voice of experience
I done been through that time
Now don't be hard headed, don't be a hard head
You're a sweet girl
Listen to what i am saying to you
I'm listening, babe
Cause you know a hard head
Will make a soft rootie-tootie-bootie
Okay, now wait
Ooh, let me tell you what i know

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Lemme put you up on game
Every man is different but the game won't change
Lemme put you up on game
So you don't make the same mistakes i made
Lemme put you up on game
Players make the players and the players play the game

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.
