About Aretha

The Aretha Songfacts, says: This is the second single from jazz-pop singer-songwriter Rumer's debut album, Seasons Of My Soul . The song finds the singer interweaving her relationship with her mother into the tale of a girl seeking solace in Aretha Franklin : "Mama, she'd notice but she's always cryin'/ I've got no one to confide in / Aretha, nobody but you." .

Aretha Lyrics

[00:10.36] I got Aretha in the morning
[00:17.62] High on my headphones and walking to school
[00:23.95] I got the blues in springtime cuz I know that I'll never have the right shoes
[00:38.75] Momma she'd notice but she's always crying
[00:44.58] I got no one to confide in, Aretha nobody but you
[00:55.07] Momma she'd notice but she's always fighting
[01:00.76] Something in her mind and it sounds like breaking glass
[01:10.28] I tell Aretha in the morning
[01:18.16] High on my headphones and walking to school
[01:24.62] I got the blues in springtime cuz I know that I'll never have the right shoes
[01:38.81] You got the words, baby you got the words (x2)
[01:56.45] Aretha
[01:59.24] Aretha, I don't want to go to school
[02:07.08] Cause they just don't understand me and I think the place is cruel
[02:14.45] Child singer, raise your voice
[02:21.39] Stand up on your own, go out there and strike out
[02:30.42] I tell Aretha in the morning
[02:38.28] High on my headphones and walking to school
[02:44.63] I got the blues in springtime cuz I know that I'll never have the right shoes
[03:00.98] But I got the words
[03:08.05]
