James Brown
(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons [’69]
[Verse 1]
I love you for a sentimental reason
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart, all of my heart
I love you, and you alone, I'd like to believe were meant for me
Can you give one side of your heart to me
And say we'll never part?

[Chorus]
I think of you every morning
Said, I dream of you every, every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Just the thought of you
Been somewhere in my sight

[Verse 2]
I love you, baby, and you alone were meant for me
Is it all right, will you give your loving heart to me?
And say we'll never divide, or never part

[Bridge]
Can I get a melody, Frank?
Just a beat or two, Dee
Just a note or two, Lee
You know, when a man feel bad, this is the only way to say it
[Verse 3]
I love you... maybe it's because you smile so pretty
Or maybe because you do the pretty little things
Nice things, that kisses me, and makes me feel like I'm hooked

[Chorus]
I think of you every morning
I dream of you every, every night
Darling, darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever, whenever you are in sight

[Verse 4]
I love you, baby hey, I'd like to believe
That you were only meant for me
Please, I'm begging you, give your loving heart to me
We can't divide, and say we'll never part

[Bridge]
When I lose you, baby, you know I'm done
I, I, I, I, I...
When I lose you, baby, ow! Oh, have mercy
You know I'm done
Said I, said I, said I
When I lose you, baby, I'll think about
You're so nice to me
You're so sweet, you see
You're so tough
You're just sweet enough
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever been in love?
I wanna know how many
How many people out there been in love
Do you know what it means, to have that ring in your nose?
Do you know what it means?
Do you, do you, do you, do you?
Do you, do you, do you, do you?
Do you, oohhhh!
Do you know what it mean, baby? Oh!
I get that feelin', I said I got that feelin' baby
I feel like I've been mistreated
I feel like I've been mistreated
I wonder why, I wonder why...
Do you know what it means to be in love?
Do you know what it means to be in love, baby?
Do you know understand what I'm saying, baby?
Do you know understand what I'm saying, baby?
Baby, do you understand me?
Do you, do you understand me? No no, no no no
Do you understand me, baby?
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
Give up your pride, give up your pride
Do you know how I feel inside?
Give up your pride, don't worry 'bout what your friends may say
You can't treat me this way
Do you know what it means, baby?
Do you know what it means, baby?
Do you know, do you know, do you know baby?
Do you know, baby? That's all right
I'm done, I said I'm done
I hate to say it, but maybe sorrow won...
