Lyrics Please Please Please - James Brown, The Famous Flames

Please Please Please

You know… former shoeshine boy from a very, very poor family
My father, that worked hard all his life
And we «moved from pillar to post», is what the people used to say
Never really had home
I can… as far back as I can remember, it was always renting
Paying another cash bills, and never really paying home
And this is a… tune, I guess probably mean more to me
Than anything, that uh… I’ve ever been involved in
And I figured that I should come back and really, really sing it
With all the success I’ve had, and as good as people have been to me
I wanna show them, that I still have
My real heart, my real soul, my real feelin'
But when you start doing things with people, you um…
Hesitance to keep it up and, and love what you’re doing
Because you know you’re doing something good, to say
As God looked down on you and smiled
And uh… I always look back and say, you know
«I've done something good»
So I wanna get the fellas started off here…
That, and all the fellas in that control room
And it makes me feel good, start it off fellas, kick it off
(Please, please, don’t go)
Please, please, please
(Please, please, don’t go)
Honey please, don’t go
(Ohhh…) Girl, girl, I love you so
(Please, please, don’t go) Lord, have mercy
Baby, you’ve done me wrong
(Please, please, don’t go)
Baby, baby baby baby
You’ve done me wrong
(Please, please, don’t go)
You know you’ve done, done me wrong
(Ohhh…) Oh, oh yeah
Took my love, and now you’re gone
(Please, please, don’t go)
Wanna stand up and sing it, like I used to sing it
But I just wanna hear you say:
I (I), I (I), I (I), oh I (I)
I (I), I (I), oh I (I), honey please (I)
Please (ohhh…) oh Lord, baby
I, I love you so
(Please, please, don’t go)
Lord, whee-hee-hee-haw
Take my hand
(Please, please, don’t go)
I wanna be your lover man
(Please, please, don’t go)
I wanna sing it for the people from Georgia
People of New York, all of my brothers and sisters
Don’t go (ohhh…) oh, oh yeah
I love you so
(Please, please, don’t go)
I wanna dedicate this especially to
My son, who’s gone home, Teddy Brown
I just wanna say it one more time…

Sometimes, you look over
