Deeper Love - Aretha Franklin

Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Woah woah woah woah
Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Woah woah woah woah

People let me tell you I work hard every day
I get up out of bed, I put on my clothes
'Cause I've got bills to pay
Now it ain't easy but I don't need no help
I've got a strong will to survive
I've got a deeper love, deeper love
Deeper love inside and I call it

Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Woah woah woah woah
It's the power that gives you
The strength to survive
Pride - a deeper love
Woah woah woah woah

Yeah ooh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Now I've got love in my heart
It gives me the strength
To make it through the day
Pride is love (pride is)
Respect for yourself
And that's why I'm not looking for
Handouts, charity, welfare, I don't need
Stealin', dealin', not my feelin'
No backstabbin', greedy grabbin'
Lyin', cheatin' 'cause I've got a
Deeper love, a deeper love
A deeper love inside,
I've got a deeper love (deeper),
A deeper love (deeper)
Deeper love inside, whoa

Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Woah woah woah woah
It's the power that gives you
The strength to survive
Pride - a deeper love
Woah woah woah woah

And I wanna thank you for helping me see
There's a power that lives deep inside of me
Give me the strength (give me the strength)
To carry on (to carry on), always be strong
Whoa oh oh oh whoa

Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Pride - a deeper love
Woah woah woah woah

People let me tell ya I work hard every day

'Cause I-I-I-I-I got bills to pay
And it ain't easy, it ain't easy

Long term soul Diva Aretha Franklin at her best, with this floorfiller. She performed it live on the Letterman Show.
She started her career at the side of her two sisters. When she released Respect on the Atlantic Records label, she hitted the charts. Long before Mr Fingers released his Jack, she sang in 1968 about the House That Jack Built. The B-Side of that record became more famous than the A-side: I say a little prayer.

i love aretha franklin. I was so bummed when she came to chicago at rivina and i didnt got. She is certainly a woman who got ahead even through oppression. She made lemonade with the lemons thrown at her!
