James Brown
You’re My Only Love
[Intro]
(You're my only love
My only, only love is you)
Oh baby
(You're my only love
My only, only love is you)
Mmmhm...
[Verse 1]
When I saw you last night, baby
I never thought this moment could be
You're coming home and spending
This lonely, lonely night with me
Don't worry about tomorrow
I won't let nothin' happen to your pride
As long as you trust me
Everything will remain in sight
[Chorus]
(You're my only love
My only, only love is you)
Ooh...
[Verse 2]
When I woke up this mornin'
The sparkle was in your eye
It made me feel so doggone happy
All I wanted to do, was cry
[Chorus]
(You're my only love
My only, only love is you)
My my my, my my my my my my my...
Say it, make me believe it
(You're my only love
My only, only love is you...)
There's no fool like an old fool
Let me be your fool baby, ah
[Verse 3]
I wanna talk to you right here
I wanna tell you somethin', baby
Lookit here: you see, I was raised
By the old people, and I
I know you come from the country
A country home, and you was trained to wait
But if I'm good for you tomorrow...
Ha, try me now, tomorrow may be too late, baby
Oh baby, makes me think about Minnie Riperton right here
If Minnie was here, she'd sound like this:
[Chorus]
Oh Minnie, as I mean, Minnie
(Is you...)
Aah...
Take me down memory lane
Minnie, Minnie, oh Minnie
Aah...
(You're my only love
My only, only love is you)
Oh baby, my my my, my my my
(You're my only love
My only, only love is you)
Aah, aah...
Oh Minnie, oh Minnie
How do you sound so good?
Ooh, ooh
(Is you...) Aah...
[Verse 4]
You know, I wanna say it one more time:
I know you come from a country home
You may, you may be trained to wait
But if I'm good for you tomorrow
Try me now, tomorrow may be too late
(You're my only love) Sing it, baby
(My only, only love is you) Aah...
Wow, my my my my, my my my my my my, oh baby...
