Sister from Texas Aretha Franklin

The sister from Texas
Who's been many places
That's who I am

Don't get yourself uptight
Just trying to please me
I'm down with the flame

"Here for the moment, gone forever"
"Here for the moment, gone forever"
"Here for the moment, gone forever"
Said the sister from Texas

Hard luck nights just like I see
I don't try to color it over with rose
Do you know that pride can kill ya?
I don't try to spike my pains with my nose
"People are: Here for the moment, gone forever"
"Here for the moment, then we're gone forever"
"Here for the moment, gone forever"
Said the sister from Texas

I've seen 'em come and go
For as long as I been here
Yeah! There just ain't very much more now
That can make me cry
Yeah, yeah!
Woman was born to love
And to lose man and vice versa
There's just one more thing I gotta get up to
And that's the real, that I was born to die
