My GuyAretha Franklin

[Verse]
Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy
(My guy)
Nothing you could do because I'm stuck like glue to my guy
(My guy)
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather we stick together
I'm telling you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy
(My guy)
Nothing you could buy could make me tell a lie to my guy
(My guy)
I gave my guy my word of honor to be faithful, and I'm going to
You best be believing I won't be deceiving my guy

[Bridge]
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop;
As a matter of taste to be exact he's my ideal as a matter of fact

[Chorus] [x3]
No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy
(My guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
(My guy)
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to being happy we are
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
(What you say, Tell me more)

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.
