Ain't That A Groove, Pt. 1 Lyrics – James Brown

When you and your baby are tight
And everything you say or do is mellow
She keeps everything all right
And you know that you're the only fellow
Ain't that a groove, ain't that a groove
Ain't that groove, ain't that a groove

Now look here fellows
Girls like to be in a mood
Whenever they think their man is yellow
Hit me band You fight real hard
To make things right'cause he's the only fellow
Now ain't that a groove
Ain't that a groove do you hear me people
Ain't that a groove, ain't the a groove

Look you here I want to know do you love me, yes I love you
One more time, do you love me, yes I really, really do

Do you love me baby, yes I love you
I just gone, gotta . . . know

Hit me band
One more again

Look you here
I got to tell you, dig this
This will kill you
A little piece of money and plenty of love
Will keep everything together, come on band
Well forget about the money
Plenty of love and ain't that mellow
Now ain't that a groove, it's go groovy
Ain't that a groove, it's so groovy
Ain't that a groove, it's so groovy
Ain't that a groove

Look here, I'm not gonna talk all day
But 1, I wanted to get the feeling
One more time
Hit me band, listen to that band
I want to ask them
Do you love me, yes I love you

Do you love me baby, yes I love you
Do you love me, yes I love you
I just gotta, gotta .... know
Hey ain't that a groove
Ain't that a groove let me count
One for the meney, two for the show
Ain't that a groove now here we go
Goin'on, and one more thing
I want to say, this is better than cushions
Christmas only comes once a year
And this is all year bound
People can, I'm livin'
Let me out, I'm gone, yeah I'm going back

Ain't That A Groove, Pt. 2 Lyrics – James Brown

Hit me band, look at the band

Let me out, I'm gone, yeah I'm going back

Bewildered Lyrics – James Brown

Bewildered, lost in a dream
In the love I need why did we part
Bewildered, has love, has love died dear
Wishing your heart could feel
What's in my heart
Must I have sleepless night
And endless days
Oh love why did you keep my soul
Without a spark I'm in the dark
Bewildered
I need your, I need your I need your guiding hand
I'll never, no I'll never understand
How you can love me, how you can love me
How you can love me, how you can love me
How you can love me and leave me Bewildered, Bewidered

Can't Get Any Harder Lyrics – James Brown (feat. Leaders of the New School)

(Get up)

(The star of the show
Hard-working Mr. Dynamite
Jaaaaaames Brown) (Brown) (Brown) (Brown)..

(Get up)

[Charlie Brown:]
Yo, I don't mean to brag, there's the tag
Brown got a brand new bag
Shining star up to par
Bars guitars
So far so good, gettin greater at last
Where it counts, later for the last
First you're dead and stinkin
Thinkin, winkin, drinkin, sinkin
Ba-ba-ba-blinkin
Baby paw, New York City is in the house
Without a doubt, we turn the mutha out
Routs threw out shouts: "ain't we funky now"
Godfather, Soul Brother Number One

[Milo:]
Ugh! (Ugh!) Ugh! (Ugh!) Ugh!
I'm hot, huh!
90 are levels of degrees burnin
Turnin in a rough rotation
Livin in the land of the lost and found
Can't drown in sounds of the James Brown, Brown, Brown
This is the mixture when you add hard texture
Can't get no harder, so I'm out to getcha
Its essence felt, you're turned inside out
Fellas, what you gon' say now?
Thirsty? Not, my verse just quenched your thirst
From the burst of energy
Shinin on the appetite
Can't cross the thin line of the end of my time
(Hah!) Hold it, I'm still burnin
Pop or not, I come to break up slots
Cause it can't get no harder
Give it to me, Godfather

[James Brown:]
Can't get any harder - than what I got
Cause what I got - is sho' nuff hard to stop
Can't get any harder - cause what I got
Cause what I got - is sho' nuff hard to stop
Hey!

I've been around for a long time
Won't let nobody bring me down
Rock solid, solid as a rock
Too smooth to move and too hard to stop

[Busta Rhymes:]
Oh yes, come and get with this entourage
As we get busy in the garage
Leaders of the New forever large
Cause we got the funk flip script, oh yes
Get up and ill, everybody move your hip, scream out: "Yes!"
That's what I'm talkin about - ah!
Busta, Leaders come and turn it out
Don't try to front on the flavor
Save that for later
Or join the Maker in the spirit like an elevator
You wanna know somethin funny? I was devasted
When I elaborated how we collaborated
With singers in music activated
Most necessary that we salute many too livin legendary
James Brown comin to you, better open the door
Because I wanna MOP THE FLOOR!

[James Brown:]
Do it, ya
Gimme some rap, now - hah
Put it there
Welcome to the club
Huh!
Bring it all together

Can't get any harder - ugh - than what I got
(Soul!)
Cause what I got - is sho' nuff hard to stop
Can't get any harder - ah, good God - than what I got
(Soul!)
Cause what I got - aaaaeeew - is sho' nuff hard to stop

I've been around for a long time
Won't let nobody bring me down
Rock solid, solid as a rock
Too smooth to move and too hard to stop
Can't get any harder
Ugh!
Agh!
Move-a
Aaaaaaooooh yes-a!

Aaaaaaaw!
The groove move ya

Can't get any harder - than what I got
Cause what I got - is sho' nuff hard to stop
Can't get any harder - good God - than what I got
Cause what I got - is sho' nuff hard to stop

Goodbye My Love Lyrics – James Brown

You know sometimes a man
Or a woman makes a mistake
Try to find a reason for making a mistake
But there is no reason for making a mistake
The only thing you do is when
You make a mistake is say I'm sorry
Take a man or a woman to say I'm sorry
And it takes a fool to walk away

So right here I want to say I'm sorry
I don't know where you are
But you know I need you
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say right here
I could say goodbye, you just don't understand
I could say baby I believe you got another man
And that I could say I just can't help myself
But I wouldn't be a man

And that I could say maybe we don't have nothing left
But I want you to know I still love you
Oh no matter where you go, I still love you
Oh, oh take it down Jimmy
Goodbye my love, throwing me away

Goodbye my love
There's one more thing you know to have
Someone to worry when you're wrong
Feel the need of a real person
When your friends drop you behind
To kill your anger just by being nice and kind
I could say if you leave it wouldn't bother me
But I know that would be a lie
Cause baby deep down you bother me
But I want you to know and I don't care who knows
I still love you
Woa, oh, I still love you
Oh, oh take it down Jimmy
Oh, oh take it down Jimmy look a here

I Got The Feelin' Lyrics – James Brown

You come home late from work, baby
You wonder why it ain't on the table
After the day that I've had
I don't believe I'm able
You give me every little reason in the book
But there's one thing that I think you've overlooked
you say you're tired, well so am I
Baby you've got to try and
Meet halfway or we ain't gonna make it, baby
Meet halfway if you want to get it right
Meet halfway cause I ain't gonna take it, baby
Meet halfway in the middle of the night
Our love is kind of stalled, baby
But it aint about the sex
I'd trade the roses and the negligees
If we could just connect
I go deeper when you look into my eyes
There's a place where neither one of us can hide
And it's up to us to reinvent the game
Love it when you call my name and
Meet halfway, ain't no doubt about it, baby
Meet halfway, and we're halfway home
Meet halfway, got to scream and shout it, baby
Meet me halfway and I'll shake you to the bone

I Got You (I Feel Good) Lyrics – James Brown

Wo! I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of

So good, so good, I got you

Wo! I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you

[Sax, two licks to bridge]

When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love won't do you no harm

and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you

[Sax, two licks to bridge]

When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can't do no wrong

My love can't do me no harm

and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, well I got you

Wo! I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of
I feel good, I knew that I would
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
So good, so good, 'cause I got you

[End lick]

[Short pause, drum cue]

Hey! Oh yeah-a...

Is it yes, is it no
Did you ever, making me cry
Did you ever, making me die
Was it fun, making me suffer
Was it fun, making me suffer
Now is your answer ves ro is it no

It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World Lyrics – James Brown

This is a mans world
This is a mans world
But it would be nothing,nothing
Without a women or a girl

[verse 1:]
You see, man made the car
To take us over the road
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load
Man made the electrolight
To take us out of the dark
Man made the boat full of water
Like noah made the arc

This is a mans,mans,mans world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Without a women or a girl

[verse 2:]
Man thinks about little bit of baby girls and a baby boys
Man make them happy
Cos man make them toys
And after man make everything
Everything he can
You know that man makes money
To buy from other man

This is a mans world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Not one little thing
Without a women or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness

It's A New Day Lyrics – James Brown

Fellas, things done got too far gone.
We gotta let the girls know what they gotta do for us!
It's than gotta be a drag, man, a man can't do nothin' no more!
A-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Is really a drag?
You gotta do somethin'!
Can I count 'em?
Look me here!

Girl, let me tell you what you got to do,
Keepin' me so mellow, so nobody can get through.
When he had to do your lovin', smilin' keeps us cheek,
Walk away and twist your hip, make sure you keep him weak.
Don't let nobody take care o' your business better than you do,
Do what he wants, give what he wants, expect 'em come to you.

And than you can hold your men, you can hold your men, you can hold your men,
you can hold..., hey!

Never get so confident was nothin' you want to know,
You caught up your time, you lose your thing, you think you got to go.
You know what we got to tell 'em to take a plea until balls,
Use your thing so carefully and don't be a total loss.
Sister, when you loved your man, be careful, I ain't tellin' that
He will put you back on the corner, use you like it's in the hat.

You can hold your men, you can hold your men, you can hold your men, you can
hold, hey!

Hit it!

Good god, kill it!

Hit me now!

Good god!

Never get too confident so it's nothin' you want to know,
You caught up your time, you lose your thing, you think you got to blow.
You know I got what it takes to take a plea until balls,
You gotta use it carefully and it can't be a total...

Hit me now!

Good god, kill it!

Yeah!

Good god!

Fellas!
Can I get some help?
Can I get some help?
Look for me some help!
Can I get a witness?
Shall I need a witness?
Shall I need a witness?
I, I, I, I need a witness!
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness over there!
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness over here!
I'm a witness right here!
I'm a witness over there!
Is a witness over there?
I'm a witness right here!
Wait a minute!

Girl, let me tell you what you got to do,
Keepin' me so mellow, nobody can get through,
And when he had to do your lovin', smilin' keeps us cheek, good god,
Walk away and twist your hip, make sure you keep him weak.
And make sure you keep him weak, good god,
Sure you keep him...

Ain't it funky now? Good god!
Ain't it funky now? Hey!
Ain't it funky now?
Ain't it funky now?
Ain't it funky now?
Ain't it funky now?
Ain't it funky now?
One more! Ha!

King Heroin Lyrics – James Brown

Ladies and Gentlemen
Fellow Americans
Lady Americans
This is James Brown
I wanna talk to you about one of our
Most deadly
Killers in the country today
I had a dream the other night, and I
Was sittin' in my living room
Dozed off to sleep
So I start to dreamin'
I dreamed I walked in a place and
I saw a real strange, weird object
Standin' up talkin' to the people
And I found out it was Heroin
That deadly drug that go in your veins
He says:
I came to this country without a passport
Ever since then I've been hunted and sought
My little white grains are nothin' but waste
Soft and deadly and bitter to taste
I'm a world of power and all know it's true
Use me once and you'll know it, too
I can make a mere schoolboy forget his books
I can make a world-famous beauty neglect her looks
I can make a good man forsake his wife
Send a greedy man to prison for the rest of his life
I can make a man forsake his country and flag
Make a girl sell her body for a five-dollar bag
Some think my adventure's a joy and a thrill
But I'll put a gun in your hand and make you kill
In cellophane bags I've found my way
To heads of state and children at play
I'm financed in China, ran in Japan
I'm respected in Turkey and I'm legal in Siam
I take my addicts and make 'em steal, borrow, beg
Then they search for a vein in their arm or their leg
So, be you Italian, Jewish, Black or Mex
I can make the most virile of men forget their sex
So now, no, my man, you must (you know) do your best
To keep up your habit until your arrest
Now the police have taken you from under my wing
Do you think they dare defy me, I who am king?
Now, you must lie in that county jail
Where I can't get to you by visit or mail
So squirm - with discomfort - wiggle and cough (hack!)
Six days of madness, hah! You might throw me off
Curse me in name! Defy me in speech!
But you'd pick me up right no if I were in your reach
All through your sentence you've become resolved to your fate
Hear now! younng man and woman, I'll be waitin' at the gate
Don't be afraid, don't run! I'm not chased
Sure my name is Heroin! You'll be back for a taste
Behold, you're hooked!
Your foot is in the stirrup
And make -- haste!
Mount the steed!
And ride him well
For the white horse of heroin
Will ride you to Hell!
To Hell!
Will ride you to Hell!
Until you are dead!
Dead, brother! Dead!
This is a revolution of the mind
Get your mind together
And get away from drugs!
That's the man!
Back! Back

Let A Man Come In And Do The Popcorn, Pt. 1 Lyrics – James Brown

Hey you all look out let a man come in
I got to have fun I'm gonna do my thing

The sister standing out there dressed up
In a brand new mini dress
Look hey over there

And dig that soul brother look at him doing the popcorn

Hey, hey everybody I got a brand new start

Licking Stick Lyrics – James Brown

Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.
Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.
Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.
Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.
People standin',
standin' in a trance.
Sister out in the backyard
doin' the outside dance.
Come'n tell me you love me,
she didn't wanna be a drag.
I don't know what she's doin',
I think she's got a brand new bag.
Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.
Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.
People standin',
standin' in a trance.
Sister out in the backyard
doin' the outside dance.
Come'n tell me you love me,
she didn't wanna be a drag.
I don't know what she's doin',
I think she's got a brand new bag.
Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.
Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.
Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.
Mama, come here quick,
bring me that lickin' stick.

Living In America Lyrics – James Brown

Yeah, uh! Get up now! Ow! Knock out this!

Super highwys, coast to coast, easy to get anywhere
On the transcontinental overload, just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel

When theres no destination-that's too far
And somewhere on the way, you might find out who you are

Livin' in America-eye to eye, station to station
Livin' in America-hand to hand,across the nation
Livin in America-got to have a celebration

Rock my soul

Smokestack, fatback,many miles of railroad track
All night radio, keep on runnin' through, your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners, keep you 'wake, on black coffee, and a hard roll

You might have to walk the fine line,
you might take the hard line
But everybody's workin' overtime

Livin' in America-eye to eye, station to station
Livin' in America-hand to hand,across the nation
Livin in America-got to have a celebration

I live in America, help me out,
but I live in America,
wait a minute
You may not be looking for the promise land,
but you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names
Like New Orleans (New Orleans) Detroit City (Detroit City), Dallas (Dallas), Pittsburg P.A. (Pittsburg P.A.) New York City (New York City)Kansas City (Kansas City)Atlanta (Atlanta) CHICAGO & L.A.!

Livin in America-hit me
Livin in America-yeah,
I walk in and out
Livin' in America

I live in America-state lines,
gonna make the prime, that
I live in America-hey
I know what it means,I

Livin' in America...
Livin' in America- hit me now, eye to eye, station to station
Livin' in America
Livin' in America-I feel good!

Papa's Got A Brand New Bag Lyrics – James Brown

Come here sister... Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip... about that new breed babe
He ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag

Come here mama... and dig this crazy scene
He's not too fancy... but his line is pretty clean
He ain't no drag.
Papa's got a brand new bag

He's doing the Jerk...
He's doing the Fly
Don't play him cheap 'cause you know he ain't shy
He's doing the Monkey, the Mashed Potatoes, Jump back Jack, See you later

Come here sister
Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip now

He ain't no drag
He's got a brand new bag

Oh papa! He's doing the Jerk
Papa... he's doing the Jerk
He's doing the twist ... just like this,
He's doing the Fly ev'ry day and ev'ry night
The thing's... like the Boomerang.
Hey... come on
Hey! Hey... come on
Hey! Hey... he's pu tight... out of sight...
Come on. Hey! Hey!

Play That Funky Music White Boy Lyrics – James Brown

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a Rock & Roll Band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down the night stands

And everything around me,
Got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly,
Yes I did
To disco down and check out the show

Yeah they were
Dancin' and singin'
and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die ,
oh till you die

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were outta there minds
How could I be so foolish
To not See I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting
Loosing every step by the way
I said, I must go back there
In Jackessee still the things are the same

When they were
Dancin' and singin'
and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die,
oh till you die

[SOLO]

At first it wasn't easy
Changed in Rock'n'Roll at mind
The things won't get 'n shaking
I thought I have to leave it behind

But now it's so much better
I'm funking out and out by the way
Well, I'll never loose that feeling
How I learned by lesson yeahea

When they were
Dancin' and singin'
and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die,
oh till you die

That's all
Play that funky music...
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right

Prisoner Of Love Lyrics – James Brown

Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner of love
For one command I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my fate now
I can't escape for it's too late now
I'm just a prisoner of love

What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another, I can't have another for I'm not free

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love

What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another, I can't have another for I'm not free

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love

The Bells Lyrics – James Brown

There are four black horses
With eyes of flaming red
Their rovers are tied with ribbing
All around my baby's head

The bells are ringing And their sail is going to sea

Yes I know why they're ringing
They ring on for me
Oh yea

I wish I could see my baby
This can't happen to me
No, ...

Baby please forgive me
I know I've caused you pain
I'll place your tears with diamonds
Just to see your face again
[Repeat]

Ashes into ashes
Dust to dust
Ashes into ashes

Think Lyrics – James Brown

Heeeeeyow
Think about the sacrifices that I made for you.
Think about the good things I done for you.
Now think of all the bad things I tried not to do baby baby.
Think of all the wrong things you did to me too. Come on
THINK-about the good things baby.
THINK-about the wrong things maybe.
THINK-baby about the right things.
THINK-about the outta sight things.
Lady before you leave me realize I'm the one who loves you.
How much of all your happiness can I really claim.
How many tears have you shed for which I was to blame.
I I I dont remember what they brought.
I tried so hard to please you , at least thats what I thought. Come on.
THINK-about the good things baby.
THINK-about the wrong things maybe.

Try Me Lyrics – James Brown

Try me Try me
Darlin tell me
I need you
Try me Try me
And your love will always be true
Oh I need you (I need you)
Hold me Hold me
I want you right here by my side
Hold me Hold me
And your love we won't hide
Oh I need you (I need you)
Oh i need you (I need you)
Oh oh walk with me (walk with me)
Talk with me (talk with me)
I want you to stop my heart from crying
Walk with me (walk with me)
Talk with me (talk with me)
And your love stops my heart from dying
Oh I need you (I need you hoo hoo)

World lyrics - james brown

World, world

World, tell me what happened to the bliss
And world, tell me where's the love we missed
World, tell me what happened to the bliss
And world, tell me where's the love we missed

I hope you have a change of heart
Because we can't go on like this
If we can't love our brother
And we have lost the love of our mother
'Cause you said never to be apart
And remove the hate
And add love to our hearts

I never thought good people
Would ever, ever fail
And let this wonderful world
Be like a prison jail

World
Let all the hearts make up
And let everybody
Drink from that civil cup
Tell me what else
The love we missed
Because we can't
We can't go on like this

If the truth can't proceed
Then we are lost
Because hope is just too far away
And all the good work
Of many, many good men
Will sink
By the dock of the bay

Hit it! Oh we need love
Please, give a damn, hey!
Be concerned now

Lord have mercy
Yes we need love
It's all we need
(I know it right now)

I never thought
That people would ever, ever fail
And let this wonderful world
Be like a prison jail
