VERSE 1: Sung by Aretha

You've been hanging round my boyfriend
You've been sayin that he's sweet, yeah
Girl I know that you've been talking
Because the talk is on the street
You say that you are gonna steal his heart
Well sweety you ain't gonna get that far
You're after somethin that don't belong to you
Well girlfriend I've got news for you
(spoken):What are you trying to say Miss Thang?

CHORUS
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever, never, never, never gonna be your man

VERSE 2: Sung by Whitney

Well I just ain't the kind of woman
To pick the fruit off of your tree, girl
And you keep saying that he's your man
Well that ain't what he said to me
He blow me kissses as he drives away
He sends me roses in the middle of the day, yeah
You think it's you that he's thinking of
But I'm the one he really, really loves
(spoken): So what am I tring to say? Don't dis me girl!!

DOUBLE CHORUS:
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever, never, never, never, never gonna be you'll see
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever, never, never, never gonna be your man

In this world it's hard
you know
lovers come and lovers go

people never seem to hold on to what they've got.
Some they never stay together
you and I will be no better

we can make it last forever
we can keep this love alive.

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive.
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive.

I know sometimes it's been so tough

we've been so close to giving up

but our love's so strong and we keep holding on

yeah
to what we got.
It's easier to walk away
it takes a lot of love to stay

we've got all the love it takes
we know there's a brighter day.

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive.
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive.

We just gotta be strong
we just gotta be strong

we just gotta be strong together

we just gotta hold on
we just gotta hold on

we just gotta hold on and go through the storm.

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive.
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive.

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive.
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Think (think-think) let your mind go let yourself be free

Let's go back - let's go back
Let's go way on to way back when
I didn't even know you
You couldn't a been too much more than ten (just a child)

I ain't no psychiatrist
I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much I.Q.
To see what you're doin' to me

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Yeah think (think - think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom)
Let's have some freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom
Yeah freedom (yeah)

You got to have freedom (freedom)
Oh freedom (freedom)
You need you some freedom
Oh freedom
Ya got ta have
Hey! think about it
You! think about it


There ain't nothin' you could ask
I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
But I was gonna change ya I'm not if
You keep doin' things I don't (don't)

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
(What you're tryin' ta do to me
Oh-oh-oh think (think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free

People walkin' around everyday
Playin' games and takin' scores
Tryin' to make other people lose their minds
Well be careful you don't lose yours

Oh think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Woo-hoo think (think)
Let your mind go let yourself be free

You need me (need me)
And I need you (don't cha know)
Without each other
There ain't nothin' we two can do

Oooh yeah think about it baby
(What cha tryin' to do me think)
Let it go baby
Think about it right now
Yeah right now (think about ..forgiveness)
Whoa right now (tell about ..forgiveness)
Yeah right now (tell about ..forgiveness)
I need to change your mind (think about it)
Baby baby baby woo (tell about it..forgiveness)
Think about it baby (tell about forgiveness)
FADES-
Yeah woo-hoo (tell about forgiveness)
Tell about it baby baby baby (think about it..)
