Aretha Franklin Soul Serenade song lyrics

Only you can hear my soul serenade

I want to be free to fly away and sing to the world

About my soul serenade, my soul serenade

When you're not around there's a lonely sound

In my soul serenade, in my soul serenade

Everyone but you adores me

But do you know pretty soon they bore me

Let me tell you right now that they bore me

They bore me with their pretty little words

Those pretty little words of devotion

But oh, let me tell you right now

My message to 'em this evening

Is they can jump in anybody's ocean

Because only you hear my soul

My soul serenade, my soul serenade

Oh, my soul serenade, my soul serenade
