Aretha Franklin - God Bless The Child Lyrics






Them that's God shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says
And it still is news

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade

Momma may have
Poppa may have

But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends

Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

    Them that's got shall get
    Them that's not shall lose
    So the Bible said and it still is news
    Mama may have, papa may have
    But God bless the child that's got his own
    That's got his own
    Yes, the strong gets more
    While the weak ones fade
    Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
    Mama may have, papa may have
    But God bless the child that's got his own
    That's got his own
    Money, you've got lots of friends
    Crowding round the door
    When you're gone, spending ends
    They don't come no more
    Rich relations give
    Crust of bread and such
    You can help yourself
    But don't take too much
    Mama may have, papa may have
    But God bless the child that's got his own
    That's got his own
    Mama may have, papa may have
    But God bless the child that's got his own
    That's got his own
    He just worry 'bout nothin'
    'Cause he's got his own

  21. P.... L....

Na primeira crise financeira,Billie recorrendo a mãe,pedindo lhe auxílio,e acabou como resposta uma frase da canção: " You can help yourself " ; but don't take too much ".Arrasada ,deprimida, Billie em parceria com Herzog,na quela mesma noite,nasceu o grande sucesso "God bless the Child ".,Lindamente,interpretada na vós da diva A. Franklin .....
