  • I got Aretha in the morning
    High on my headphones and walking to school
    I got the blues in springtime 'cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

    Momma she'd notice but she's always crying
    I got no one to confide in, Aretha nobody but you
    Momma she'd notice but she's always fighting
    Something in her mind and it sounds like breaking glass

    I tell Aretha in the morning
    High on my headphones and walking to school
    I got the blues in springtime 'causee I know that I'll never have the right shoes

    You got the words, baby you got the words
    You got the words, baby you got the words

    Aretha
    Aretha, I don't want to go to school
    'Cause they just don't understand me and I think the place is cruel
    Child singer, raise your voice
    Stand up on your own, go out there and strike out

    I tell Aretha in the morning
    High on my headphones and walking to school
    I got the blues in springtime 'cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes
    But I got the words Writer/s: SARAH JOYCE, STEVE BROWN
