Nobody Knows the Way I Feel This MorningAretha Franklin

[Verse 1]
Nobody knows, nobody knows
The way I feel this morning
I said, nobody knows
The way I feel this morning
Well, if I only had my way
Let me tell you that
The graveyard would be the place
Where my man would lay

[Chorus]
Nobody, nobody knows
The way I feel this morning

[Verse 2]
Well I pawned everything
Pawned everything I had this morning
Everything, everything
Said that I pawned everything
Everything that I had this morning, yes, I did
I pawned my ring
My gold watch and chain
Let me tell you I mighta pawned myself
But I've got just a, just a little bit of shame

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well, I feel like screaming
Screaming and crying this morning
Yeah, this morning
Said that I feel like I could scream and cry
Oh, yes, I do, scream and cry this morning
Screaming this morning
I feel like I could scream and cry
Don't you know I'm just a little too cold hearted
I'd, I'd rather lay right down here and die

[Chorus]
Nobody, nobody knows, nobody understands
How I really, really feel this morning
Oh, early this morning

[Bridge]
And I'm, and I'm
And I'm leaving here, leaving
Leaving here on a southbound train this morning
Oh, yes, I am, early this morning
Said that, I’m, oh, oh, oh yeah
I'm leaving here, yeah, yeah
Leaving here on a southbound train
This morning, oh, yes, I am
I'm going all the way south

[Outro]
Well, I am leaving here
Leaving here on a southbound train
And let me tell you that nothing is
Ever gonna bring your sweet
Sweet baby back again
Nobody, nobody knows, nobody knows
The way I feel this morn, morning, morning

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.
