Good to Me As I Am to You
by Aretha Franklin
If you had a dollar
And I had a dime
I wonder could I borrow yours
As easy as you could mine
Because when you need my love
And I give time after time
And turn around to find me no returns
Then, my friend, you've used my dime
If there's water in the pitcher
And we both need a drink
To stay alive, my darling
I need less water than you think
My love, my love
These things I swear I say are true
And all I'm really saying is
Be as good to me as I am to you
Listen to this
Some people want
But they don't want to give
They can do all of the wrong in the world
And got the nerve to not understand the meaning of let live
Starting today
Tomorrow, and forevermore
If you can't find it your heart to do for me
Then, baby just don't darken my front door
Baby
I want you to be as good to me as I am to you
Baby
I don't think that's asking you too much to do
Listen
Don't you walk around here
Feeling like you can treat me any old way
Using my love, my time, and my heart
Day after day
Baby
Be as good to me as I am to you
