Aretha Franklin - What If I Should Ever Need You Lyrics






Yeah, I know that it's over
And there's nothing that I can do
So I won't try, I won't try holding on to you
Just answer one question before you go
Cause there's just one thing it would have to know

(So tell as you're leaving) Tell me as you're leaving
(Where you're going and how far) Where you're going how far
(Cause what if I should ever need you) What if I should ever need you
(And I'm not where you are) And I'm not where, where you are
(And I'm not where you are) And I'm not where, where you are

Oh, we were so close to each other
And we shared so much
Scares me to think that, that we might loose touch
There's so many lights in the city and so many motors
I just like to know, yes I would, I wanna know which one is yours

(So tell as you're leaving) Tell me as you're leaving
(Where you're going and how far) Where you're going and how far
(Cause what if I should ever need you) Cause what if I should ever need you
(And I'm not where you are) And I'm not where you are, oh
(And I'm not where you are) And I'm not where, where you are
(I gotta know where you are) And I'm not where you are, oh
(Where you are) And I'm not where, not where you are, eh
(I gotta know where you are) And I'm not where you are, oh, oh, oh
(Where you are) And I'm not where you are, call me baby
(I gotta know where you are) And I'm not where you are, baby, call me baby
(Where you are) And I'm not where, I gotta know where

Aretha Franklin What If I Should Ever Need You Comments
  1. N.... H....

    The Lyrics along with the voice makes it a meaningful song.... miss you Queen

  2. L.... W....

    Sing Ree!!! that voice was always number one!!:)

  3. A.... C....

    The 'Grand Lady' of song! Nobody ever did it better.

    A.... C....

    INDEED!!! You like? She's rocking those cowboy boots lol I believe that dress was a soft leather

  4. M.... M....

    Thats some serious hardware she has on her fingers - her wedding rings - she wore those even in later yrs

  5. M.... B....

    She does look swole here I thought it was good loving and good cooking. Although she looks good thinner Aretha has always been much prettier this size. 76 thru 83 I thought she was a plump cutie.

    M.... B....

    I think Aretha looks better with a bit of meat on her :) have you seen this one?

    M.... B....

    This is definitely a baby bump in this video though - thats no good cookin lol

    M.... B....

    Been playing LaDiva since last chatted with you. SEE WHAT YOU DID. Thank you sweety. Today is Saturday cleaning day. Start with Album You and end with LaDiva. Ttl😊😊😊.

    M.... B....

    @Major Boyce HAHAHA SORRY BABE!!! I think La Diva is a highly underated album! I love it! Her son wrote a couple of songs from the album too :) I'm bad I know lol I do enjoy chatting though! :) <3

  6. G.... L....

    Btw, she looked Beautiful here. I 😍❤

    G.... L....

    He Babe apparently you have another comment - says I have to review it but I don't know why - so just letting you know Im going to try find out why that is? I don't have that restriction on my vids - weird - yes very beautiful <3

    G.... L....

    Yes she does.

    G.... L....

    Why is there a whole flower garden on one side of her head? The trumpets in this song sound like those old Chinese fighting Kung Fu movie funeral sings or low dialogue part of the movies scenes. Go Ree and water that garden!:)

  7. G.... L....

    Sorry Queen that you always get bashed for being heavy chested. I don't see anything wrong with it just your sexy side. These days they show everything, way more then what you was showing, but we let our kids etc look up to them as role models, but in this century you can wear what ever you like and not get bashed for it. #ILovetheQueen 😍❤❤

    G.... L....

    She's beautiful I think!! With or without weight - as far as the heavy chestedness - you are so so right!! After all she is a natural woman :) No surgeory there baby lol

  8. M.... B....

    Lol I was I was 8 then but always had to be in front of our black and white rabbit ears TV to see her. Another time my mother would say Lord she need a bra. I laugh now because o so many memories this brings back. Record stores 8 tracks and bell bottoms.

    M.... B....

    As a black heterosexual female (Aussie) I think she is one of the most if not the most beautiful black women I have ever seen - in her young days and her older years - she has the most aamazing eyes! Beautiful piano players hands! And yes sometimes in need of a bra lol lol But you know thats one of the things I love about her and also I read this excellent article which I posted on my Aretha group how she was actually a role model for body image! People forget Aretha wasn't always a big lady - her weight would fluctuate from xsmall to the other end - but either way I think she is striking! Hey if I was a male I would fall in love with her lol Men loved Aretha - that was evident during her homegoing and the stories that came out - amazing woman <3 I'll reply to your other comment after I finish this bacon and egg burger lol

    M.... B....

    @Mrs Matt Murphy lol you a mess lol. I loved her size when she was on Flip Wilson singing Mr. Spain
    Also her Jump to It days were very nice.

    M.... B....

    @Major Boyce yes!!! I'll have to see if Mr Spain is already on here - if it is I won't post it - Not sure but there may be a copyright issue with Flip Wilson Show - Ill have to see if there is other artists posted from his show - I HAVE A CLEAN SLATE FOR ONCE!! I CHECKED MY YOUTUBE STATUS lol YES IM A MESS - ITS THIS STINKING HOT WEATHER BABE!

    M.... B....

    @Major Boyce Ill check on those Jack Jones Show vids too - Im sure she does 3 songs on that

    M.... B....

    Bell bottoms lol lol When I was a youngin I wanted to wear makeup like her lol

  9. M.... B....

    My favorite cut from LaDiva album and Half a Love also
    She and Glynn were rocking the boots and hats at that time. She was rumored to have been pregnant and had miscarriage. Rumors followed her all her life. One Truth is she is the only one Lady Soul. Thanks Diva for this. Did she do any more live promotion for LaDiva.

    M.... B....

    ​@Major Boyce I have heard of this many times..also one thing I noticed she always till before her death wore those same wedding rings of hers and Glynns - yeah I believe they weren't rumours because in my opinion even in this video plus photos taken at the same time as well as the Jack Jones Show she was definitely pregnant - yes that baby would have been beautiful - the genetics of them both - wow!

    M.... B....

    Ladies Only is on here but the quality is not that good

    M.... B....

    @MrJmervel Oh did she!! Ill have to check my audio - I have some audio but no video I would love to find the video of it

    M.... B....

    @Mrs Matt Murphy Yes, I remember that I was home from school for some reason and I saw the episode. To my best recollection, I think she lipsynced. But I remember liking the song much better than when I first heard it on Mike Douglas.

    M.... B....

    @Mrs Matt Murphy Now that you mention that particular performance, i think where she also does "Honey I Need Your Love", her belly does look a bit pregnant plump. I thought she was just heavy in that but it does look about roundish.....

  10. A.... F....

    I love finding all these hidden gems Thanks hun ❤️

    A.... F....

    Thanks babe! got a few up my sleeve lol <3

    A.... F....

    @Mrs Matt Murphy I must say Aretha looks gorgeous here and keep these gems coming

    A.... F....

    @Aretha Franklin Whitney Houston I will Babe!! <3 Stay tuned lol

  11. L.... M....

    She delivered some serious vocals this performance!

    L.... M....

    Vocally she is smashing it!! She does a beautiful cover of Yesterday same show - I had these on my channel years ago when I was Bushtrik haha

    L.... M....

    Mrs Matt Murphy your videos are such a treat! I have spent hours upon hours watching Aretha videos online and have often asked myself if there was a video I hadn’t seen and guess what? You post it! I am so thankful

    L.... M....

    @LeDerius Martin Aaaww thankyou <3 Still go a lot up my sleeve that might surprise you lol Some won't get through because of copyright - but still got plenty that will - plus I love uploading the LIVE audios as well with videos I create :) Its all for Aretha Babe!! Im just a vessel for her music that I love so much <3

    L.... M....

    @Mrs Matt Murphy Ms Murphy thks
