Think (Live at the Apollo Theater, 1967)
[Verse 1: James Brown + Marva Whitney + both]
Think about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think about the right thing
Think about the wrong thing
Lady, before you leave me, you realize that I'm the one who loves you

Think about the sacrifices that I made for you
Think about the hard times that I've spent with you
Think about the good things that I've done for you
Think about the bad things I've tried to suffer through

[Chorus: James Brown + Marva Whitney + both]
Come on, sugar, think, Lord, about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think, Marva, about the right things
And James, don't you forget about the bad things, yeah
Lady, before you leave me, you realize that I'm the one who loves you

[Bridge: James Brown + Marva Whitney]
How much of all your happiness can I really claim?
I wanna know how many tears have you shed for which you are to blame?
Well, I don't remember, what they brought
I tried so hard to please you, at least that's what I thought

[Chorus: James Brown + Marva Whitney + both]
Come on, sugar, think, Lord, about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think, Marva, about the right things
James, don't forget about the wrong things, yeah
Lady, before you leave me, you realize that I'm the one who loves you
[Bridge: James Brown + Marva Whitney]
How much of all your happiness, now tell me, can I really claim?
I wanna know how many tears have you shed for which you are the blame?
Well, I don't remember, what they brought
I tried so hard to please you, at least that's what I thought

[Chorus: James Brown + Marva Whitney + both]
Come on, sugar, think, Lord, about the good things
Think about the bad things
Think, Marva, about the right things
And James, don't you forget about the wrong things, yeah
Lady, before you leave me, you realize that I'm the one who loves you
Lady, before you leave me, you realize that I'm the one who loves you

[Outro: James Brown]
