I want to sing like Aretha Franklin. Before her I wanted the technical ability of Ella Fitzgerald.

Dont Waste Your Time
Mary j blige & aretha franklin
[mary]
Lately Ive got this funny feeling
Something dont feel the same
But hes telling me Im the one to blame
Yes I know he still gives me good loving
But when hes deep inside
Theres somebody else on his mind
1 - [aretha]dont waste your time
[mary] but it gets so hard to know
[aretha]just walk away
[mary] you say that I got to let go
[both] seen it a millions times before
[aretha]you shouldnt take his stuff no more
[mary] cant waste my time
[aretha]girl its not hard to know
[mary] should walk away
[aretha]oh youve got to let it go
[both] seen it a millions times before
[mary] shouldnt take his sh** no more
[aretha]
Sister girl, sister girl
Its much deeper than what youre thinking
When something dont feel the same
Yeah you better believe his love has change
(and I have been telling you, telling you)
And what youre telling me
(its been hurting me, hurting me)
It aint, it aint complete
Hes got a sweetie on the side
Stop making truth, out of his lies
Repeat 1
[aretha & mary]
Whats the point of love
When you got no trust
Whats the point of staying
When you seen enough
Whats the point of giving
What he dont deserve
[mary]
He dont deserve it
No you dont deserve it
[aretha]
Oh whats the point of feeling
[aretha & mary]
Like theres nothing inside
Whats the point of saying
That you still got your pride
Whats the point of giving
What he dont deserve
This is the last time
Im gonna love you
Repeat 1

If a song's about something I've experienced or that could've happened to me it's good. But if it's alien to me, I couldn't lend anything to it. Because that's what soul is all about.

The test of a first-fate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.
