James Brown
I Refuse to Lose (7" Version)
One, two, three, take it down!
Hard times, hard times, oh!
Ain't got no money to pay my bills
Wanna have some fun, keep my lovin' still
But I refuse to lose, oh, I refuse to lose

Need more lovin', I need it bad
Recall the good times I used to have
But I refuse to lose, I refuse to lose
Take it up, I refuse to lose
Said I refuse to lose, get down

Look here now, Ali said, I feel like Ali
I said I sting like butterfly and float like a bee
Don't want nobody to bother me
'Cause I refuse to lose, oh I refuse to lose
Said I refuse to lose, oh yeah, I refuse to lose
Get down!

Oh yeah
In the pocket, sock it in the pocket
In the pocket, yeah, sock it in the pocket
In the pocket, just rock it in the pocket
And let the good times roll, and let the good times roll
Sock it in the pocket, huh, and let the good times roll
Sock it in the pocket, ha, and let the good times roll
Get it in the pocket and let the good times roll
Sock it in the pocket, huh, and let the good times roll
Rock it in the pocket, huh, and let the good times roll
Come on and dance, dance, dance, dance
And let the good times roll
Come on and dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And let the good times roll, ah!
Come on and dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
And let the good times roll
Come on and dance, dance, dance, dance
And let the good times roll
Hit it again, dah! Woow, ah!
Ah, uh, oh yeah... wait a minute

I miss my fun that I used to have
I miss my girl and I need her bad
But I refuse to lose, I refuse to lose
Times are rough and money's short
I lost the things that I thought I bought
But I refuse to lose...
