Aretha Franklin - Pledging My Love/The Clock (single B-Side)* lyrics

Forever, my darling, our love will be true Always and forever I'll love only you Just promise me, darling, your love in return May this fire in my soul dear forever burn My heart's at your command, dear, to keep love and to hold Making you happy is my desire, keeping you is everything of my goal And I'll forever, ever, ever love you the rest of my days I'm not gonna, not gonna part from you on your loving ways I looked at the face of the clock on the wall But it doesn't tell me, it takes time but it doesn't tell me nothing at all Face of the clock just stares at me, yeah It knows I'm lonely, how I am, and how I always will be I want to cry, cry my heart out I want my baby back with me There's nothing but time to give out Time doesn't mean anything to me Oh, if you hear me, come on back real soon, baby Because this clock and I, oh, yeah, we're so lonely in this room Oh, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room When I get at night, baby, so lonely in this room Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
