I Wonder
Yearning Echoes: Aretha's Soulful Quest in 'I Wonder'Lyrics
I wonder my darling
I am curious, my dear
Where are you again tonight?
Where are you tonight?
Are you holding someone else real tight?
Are you tightly embracing someone else?
Baby, I wonder
These questions linger in my mind
My heart, my heart is aching
My heart is in pain
I believe that I'm a fool to let it go on breaking
I acknowledge my foolishness in enduring this heartbreak
Maybe I wake up and find now that I'm mistaken
Perhaps I'll wake up realizing my error
Oh but right now, I wonder
But currently, I am in a state of contemplation
I've been through Lover's Lane
I've experienced the ups and downs of love
And I'm living life just the same
Living my life in a similar manner
I've been travelling nowhere fast
Feeling like I'm going nowhere fast
And what I wanna know, what I wanna know is will it last?
Questioning the longevity of this situation
Oh oh I wonder, I wonder my darling
Expressing my curiosity, my dear
Will you think of me? Will you think of me again tonight?
Will you remember me tonight?
Or are you holding someone else real tight?
Or are you intimately connected with someone else?
Ooo yeah-he-he baby I wonder
Reiterating my wonder and curiosity
I've been through, I've been through Lover's Lane
Recalling my experiences in love
And I'm livin' life, livin' it just the same
Continuing to live life in a similar manner
I've been travelling, been travelling nowhere fast
Travelling aimlessly and fast
And what I wanna know right now, what I wanna know is will it last?
Questioning the duration of this journey
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder my my my my my my my darling
Repeated expression of intense curiosity
Will you think of me? Will you think of me every day?
Will you think of me every day?
Although I may be a million miles away
Despite being physically distant
Right now I wonder
Reiterating my current state of wondering
Although I, although I may be a million miles away
Even if I am a million miles away
Baby, baby, I wonder
Continuing the expression of curiosity and wonder
