| Sometimes, the going
|
| Gets a little bit tough now
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| When the times get hard
|
| And the friends get few now
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| No one to turn to and
|
| Nothing to do now
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| You’re screaming your heart out
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| Til your back and is
|
| Soaking wet now
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| You’re still looking for mercy
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| And still, you can’t forget now
|
| Screaming your heart out
|
| Your back gets soaking wet
|
| You know that you used to love him
|
| And still, you can’t forget
|
| You know sometimes it’s hard
|
| Nowhere to go
|
| No one to love
|
| Tried everything you know
|
| Haaa, baby
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| And, ahhh, baby
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| And, ahhh, baby
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| I want you to play
|
| I want you to play a little song
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| You know, a friend of mine
|
| Told me one time
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I think it was back in 1959
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| He said, darling, you send me
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| He said, if you call me
|
| I’ll come running back to you
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| And another friend of mine told me
|
| He said, if you need me, call me
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| You see, I got a lot of
|
| Friends in my business
|
| And another friend of mine
|
| He told me
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| You better stop dogging
|
| Me around, now
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| And a recent friend
|
| Of mine, he came up
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| And you know what he said
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| It’s too late
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| Another friend of mine in a group
|
| I’m talking bout Bobby boy, now
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| He said a young man
|
| Sings his heart out
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| He walked up, he said, James
|
| I had so much trials and tribulations
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| But I found out now
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| And you see, another friend
|
| Of mine, he told me
|
| He called me Bishop
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| He said, James
|
| You was born to lose
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I wouldn’t take that for an answer
|
| I went on down the street
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I said to myself
|
| I said, James Brown
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| Please, please, please, please
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| Come along, someone now
|
| Aaaah, baby
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| Aaaah, baby
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I’m gonna call a friend
|
| Of mine in a band now
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I want him to come up
|
| And testify now
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I want you to blow
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I want you to blow for the people
|
| Who need someone to love now
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I want you to blow for the people
|
| Who don’t have no one to love
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I want you to blow for somebody
|
| That I lost long time ago
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I want him to blow better than
|
| On anybody’s record now
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| I want you to blow for yourself one time
|
| (Do doop doopty doop)
|
| Aaaah, baby
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| Aaaah, baby
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| Aaaah, baby
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| I think I’m gonna scream
|
| A little louder and maybe
|
| You’ll come on home now
|
| Ow, oh, baby
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| Aaaah, baby
|
| (Oh, baby, don’t you weep)
|
| Aaaah, baby |
