Lyrics When the Battle is Over - Aretha Franklin

One more time you hurt me
You thought you had your victory
One more reason for you to worry
′Cause you got the best of me
You should never count your chickens
Before you eggs get hatched
I believe it, mhmm, to my soul
You finally met your match
Tell me now
When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown?
When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown?
Who will it be? (Who will it be?)
Will it be you? (Will it be me?)
Tell me now
Who will wear the crown? Yeah, yeah
Every time I kiss you
I feel I get the upper hand
I want you to surrender
And tell me you're gonna be my man
A slip of the lip
Has been known to sink a ship
And I believe I believe I believe to my soul
I finally got a winner′s slip, yeah
When this battle is over, I wonder
Who will wear the crown?
When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown?
Who will it be? (Who will it be?)
Will it be you? (Will it be me?)
Yeah, tell me now
Who will wear the crown? Yeah
(When this battle is over)
I wonder who'll be wearing the crown (when this battle is over)
When it's over, children (when this battle is over)
Yeah, when it′s over now (when this battle is over)
Oh, when it′s over (when this battle is over)
When it's over (when this battle is over)
When it′s over (when this battle is over)
