[Intro]
Ooh, boy
Oh, yeah yeah
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
You walked in on the sly
Scoping for love
In the crowd I caught your eye
You can't hide your stuff

[Bridge]
(You came to catch)
You thought I'd be naive and tame
(You met your match)
But I beat you at your own game, oh

[Chorus 1]
(Who's zooming who?
Take another look and tell me, baby
(Who's zooming who?
Who's zooming who?
(Who's zooming who?
Now the fish jumped off the hook, didn't I, baby?
(Who's zooming who?
Yeah

[Chorus 2]
(Who's zooming who?
Take another look and tell me, baby
(Who's zooming who?
Who's zooming who?
(Who's zooming who?
The fish jumped off the hook, baby
(Who's zooming who?
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Guess you believed the world
Played by your rules
Here stands an experienced girl
I ain't nobody's fool, bump you

[Bridge]
(Don't speculate
You thought you had me covered now, boy
(I've got your bait
But you're bound to be my lover, oh

[Chorus 1][x2]

[Bridge]
You think you're smooth
And you can pick and choose when the time is right
But just look behind, you'll be surprised to find
I'm gonna make you mine tonight, oh yeah

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2][x3]

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.
