Night Life (Live in Paris, 1968) Aretha Franklin

[Intro]
Thank you very much

Tell me...tell me, do you like the blues?
Do you really like the blues? Good
Mmm...

[Verse 1]
In the evening, when the sun goes down
You’re gonna find me
Doin’ what I’m doin’ right now, and that's just sitting around
The night life, it ain’t no good life
But it’s my life, yes it is, mmm...

[Verse 2]
And all good people, good people, just like you and me
They’re sitting around dreaming
Sitting around dreaming about their used to be's
Well, the night life, ask anybody in it, it ain’t no good life
But that’s alright because it’s my life, oh, oh, yes it is

[Verse 3]
Oh, listen to the blues, to the blues and what they’re playing
I wonder tonight, are you really listening to the blues
To the blues and what they’re saying
What they seem to be playing to me that’s, that many people have loved
And they seem to be saying to me that many people have lost
Well, listen, they might not have loved at all
If they had know that they couldn’t pay the cost
