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
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
and when I hold you in my arms
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...

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
and when I hold you in my arms
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

Is It Yes Or Is It No? Lyrics – James Brown
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
Is it yes or no
I remember when you went home
'Cause you left me you'll all alone
Now was it fun when you said you weren't
the one
Was it fun now when he made his little run
Oh know on the
Is it yes or Lorg is it yes
Or is it no
Is it yes or no
Oh yes now you won't be back
But remember you gave me my little sack
Now darling you made my life complete
Lord just thrown me out in the street now
But I want your answer
Is it yes, is it yes
Oh Lord is it no
Is it yes or no
Tell me, is it yes
Or is it no, is it yes
Did you ever, making me cry

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
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!

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

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!
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

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
alligator.
Come here sister
Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip now
but I can dig that new breed babe;
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!
He ain't too hip... about that new breed babe

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

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 white boy

Play that funky music white boy

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
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
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
The Payback Lyrics – James Brown
Hey! Gotta gotta pay back!! (The big payback)
Revenge!! I'm mad (the big payback)
Got to get back! Need some get back!! Pay Back! (the big payback)
That's it!! Payback!!! Revenge!!!

Get down with my girlfriend, That ain't right!!
Hollarin' cussin', you wanna fight
Payback is a thing you gotta see
Brother do any damn thing to me
Sold me out, for chump change (yes you did!!)
Told me that they, they had it all arranged
You handed me down, and thats a fact
Now you're pumped, You gotta get ready For the big payback!! (the big payback!!)
That's where I am, the big payback (the big payback!!)
I can do wheelin', I can do dealin' (yes you can!!) But I don't do no damn
squealin'
I can dig rappin', I'm ready!! I can dig scrappin'
But I can't dig that backstabbin' (Oh No!!)
The brother get ready!! Thats a fact!!
Get ready you Mother, for the big payback (The big Payback!!)
Let me hit 'em hit'em!! Hey Hey!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(the big payback!!) Sold me out for chump change
Said my woman had it all arranged
Tryin' to make a deal, she wants to squeal But I had my boys on her heals
Saw me comin', told a lie Went down like you wanted to cry
I don't care what she does, she'll be doin' just like she was
Take your kids and raise them up, Somebody think I have a right to be tough
Take her, take that woman, it's one place she found
Just run that mother out of town!!
Got to get up!! Got to get up, get out!! [x2]

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
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
