Mixed-Up Girl Aretha Franklin

[Intro]
It's something that I think about myself sometimes

[Verse 1]
Gonna let you go my angel
Though I want you to stay
I could use my blind self-pity
Throw it in your way
Though the tides have turned between us
And I know you don't believe (I don't believe)
That it makes one bit of difference
If you stay (if you stay) or if you leave (if you leave)

[Chorus]
Why can't I be lonely (ooh)
Like that lonely rushing river?
That's pushing down a mountain
On its way to meet the sea
Why can't I need someone (ooh)
Like that river needs the ocean?
Why did you have to gеt so mixed up, baby?
With a mixed up girl (a mixed up girl)
With a mixеd up girl like me (a mixed up girl, boom!)

[Verse 2]
Gonna make it short now, angel
Though I could make it long
I could take through all the changes
And show you where you're wrong
But our dreams don't go together
And you'll never see the light
So it really doesn't matter
Who was wrong (who is wrong), who was right (who is right)
