It’s So Heartbreakin’Aretha Franklin

Songwriter: J. Leslie McFarland

[Verse 1]
It’s so heartbreaking when the one you love
Is in love with somebody else
When somebody you’ve been dreaming of
Is in love with somebody else
You can’t keep on smiling over rainy’s due
Keep on walking though you have got to hold in your shoe

[Chorus]
But it’s so heartbreaking when the one you love
Is in love with somebody else

[Verse 2]
John thought Jennie really love him true
Till he caught her kissing with Bill
John is so lonesome, don’t know what he’ll do
Since Jane went over the hills
So there goes Johnnie with a broken heart
He is just too good for nothing since they’re apart

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Oh, it’s so heartbreaking when you’re love is gone
And your dream love go up in smoke
And it’s so frightening, baby, when you love someone
And he thinks your love is a joke
Oh, you got to keep on living till the day you die
But you’re so disgusted that you wonder why

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
I said that it’s so heartbreaking when the one you love
Is in love with somebody else
It hurts so bad, yes it does
So heartbreaking when the one you love
Is in love with somebody else
That man really turn just back on
So heartbreaking when the one you love
Is in love with somebody else

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.
