Songwriter: Joe Seneca

Producer: Tom Dowd Jerry Wexler

[Intro]
Listen, baby
There's something I want you to do now
Do it good, baby
'Cause how I, how I, how I want you to

[Verse 1]
Talk to me, talk to me
Darling, I love the things you say
Oh, talk to me, talk to me
In your own sweet gentle way

[Verse 2]
Let me hear, tell me, tell me, dear
Tell me ooh, you love me so
Oh, talk to me
Baby, baby, can't you see?
I want you to tell me, tell me all of those things I need to know

[Bridge]
The many ways you speak of love, I've heard it before
Oh, but it sounds so good, so good every time, so good every time
Please, say the part that I love you just once more
Darling, I'm so glad you're mine

[Verse 3]
Oh, talk to me, oh, talk to me
Hold me close and whisper low
Oh, talk to me
'Cause, baby, can't you see?
Darling, I, I, I love you so

[Bridge]
Oh, the many ways you speak of love, I've heard before
Oh, but sounds so good, so good every time, yes it does
Please say the part I love you, I love you just once more
Darling, I'm so glad, so glad you're mine

[Verse 4]
Talk to me, ah, baby, can't you see?
Hold me close and whisper low
Baby, you ought to talk to me, oh, can't you see?
That, darling, I, that I love
Mmm, I love you so

[Outro]
When you talk to me, baby, ooh, I love you so
When you talk to me, baby, talk to me
And I love you, I love you, when you talk to me

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.
