James Brown & The Famous Flames
Lost Someone (Live at the Apollo Theater, 1967)
OH! Looka here
I got to sing a song
But it's one thing I wanna say right here
Wilson Pickett said in the midnight hour
That's when our love come tumblin' down
I know in the midnight hour
That's when a lot of people's love comes tumblin' down
But some people, some people like to wait
'Til the wee wee hours of the morning
When everybody gets mellow
When you're feeling good, UH!
Now when the clock strikes one
My love for you has just begun
When the clock strikes two
I want you to know it's just me and you
But when the clock strikes three
I said when the clock strikes three
I don't want your boyfriend bothering me
But when the clock strikes four
Baby, let yourself go
When the clock strikes four
I just wanna do it
UH! Looka here
But when the clock strikes five
You throw your arms around me, tell me I'm the sweetest man alive
UH! But when...
You wanna hear six? Hahaha
When the clock strikes six
I said when the clock strikes six
You said, baby, baby, baby, baby, how did I ever get in this bitch?
A few years ago
A young man walked out on the stage and start to singing a song
That went something like this
I'll love you tomorrow
Like I love you today
I'm so weak, but don't take my heart away
But come on, come on, ooh
Come on, come on, ooh, help me
Come on, come on, OW
Help me now, help me, baby
Help me now
Sometimes, sometimes your friends, they don't understand me
Sometimes, sometimes your loved ones don't understand me
They think you feel so bad
And make you feel so bad
It make you wanna walk up to 'em and look 'em right dead in the eye
It make you wanna say, baby, baby, baby, oh baby now
Baby, ow, baby, baby, ow, baby
I wanna tell you what they've done to me, baby
Do you know what they've done to me, baby?
It was eight men and four women
It was eight men and four women
They found me guilty
Found me guilty of loving you, baby
Then you know what they made me do?
Turned around, dropped my head, and this is what I said
I said, you gonna make me cry
Oh darling, you gonna make me cry
But it's one more thing I wanna say right here
I wanna sing a song for the people who lost someone
I wanna sing a song for the ones who said don't leave me bewildered
I wanna sing a song for the ones who said if you leave me, I'll go crazy
I wanna sing a song for the prisoner of love
I wanna sing a song for the ones who said when you get tired of what you got, try me
I wanna sing a song for the ones who said, baby, you don't have to weep no more
But all you got to do is let yourself go
Wanna sing a song for the ones who said, OH, I feel good
And then I wanna sing a song for the ones who said, please, please, please, please
Don't leave me
The time for a song that I wanna sing, it's got so much soul
Released in 1966, and make you think about the good things
And this is the type of song that we heard in '66 that went something like this
It's a man's world, but don't let me break down, baby
Don't let me break down, darling
Don't let me beg you, baby
Baby, don't make me beg now
But I ain't too proud to beg
I got to tell it like it is now
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing you
But don't let me, OH, NO NO, NO, OW
NO, NO NO, I can't stop
I feel like I'm pouring water on a drowning man
NO, NO, NO, AH
