When They Ask About You by Aretha Franklin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I go for a walk
I meet old friends we knew
We sit around and talk
(Yes, we sit and talk)
Oh, then they ask about you
(Then they ask about you)
What's the good if I say
That you and I are through
I simply tell them you're okay
(Tell them you're okay)
Oh, when, when they ask about you
(When they ask about you)

[Bridge]
They wonder where we've been
And why we fail to call
(And you don't ever call)
And I take it on the chin
Until the teardrops fall
(When the teardops fall)
[Verse 2]
They, they, they don't mean to be smart
Mmm, but if they, if 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)

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