when they ask about you

Singer:franklin, aretha

when i go for a walk

and meet old friends we knew

we sit around and talk

then they ask about you

what's the good if i say

that you and i are through

i should tell them you're okay

when they ask about you

they wonder where we've been

and why we fail to call

and i take it on the chin

until the teardrops fall

they

they

they

don't mean to be smart

but if they only knew

they're stepping on my heart

when they ask about you

they're stepping on my heart

when they ask about you
