Lyrics When They Ask About You - Aretha Franklin

When I go for a walk
I meet old friends we knew
We sit around and talk (yes we sit and talk)
Then they ask about you (hen they ask about you)

What's the good if I say
That you and I, you and I are through
I tell them you're okay (tell them you're okay)
When they ask about you (when they ask about you)

They wonder where we've been
And why we failed to call (failed to call, failed to call)
I take it on the chin
Oh, until the teardrops, teardrops start to fall ('til the teardrop fall)

They don't mean, they don't mean to be smart
Oh, but if they, they only knew
That they're stepping on my heart (stepping on my heart)
When they ask, when they ask about you (when they ask about you)

They're stepping on and walking on my heart
Oh, when they ask
When they ask about you, yeah (when they ask about you)
