women are something else

Singer:james brown

i guess it is confession time

now fellas look

we've been jivin'

i'm a taurus and bull

i was born may the 3rd

and i'm - i'm real stubborn too

but look here: i love my mate

i got to have my woman

so i know that i gotta treat her right

because she's somebody too

if she want

i would want her

'cause i cherish my woman

now look here: let's give everybody what they should have

because they're human

start by singing this way

she was born with the same pain

as you and i

just as helpless

just as weak

she's a child

but proud to be alive

as any man

you or i

with life in her body

a soul she must find

her will to survive

isn't as strong as yours or mine

the love that is given to this little girl

is a love

that is needed and shared in the world

women are something else

from a baby to a beautiful girl

yeah

together

we've got to make it

yeah yeah

yeah yeah yeah

it's no longer a man's

a man's world

women are something else

from a baby to a beautiful little girl

together

we've got to make it

hon'

it's no longer

no longer

and i admit it - a man's world

hah!

the day will come

when a girl becomes a woman

and faces the world herself

but she'll make it

yes i know she will

'cause a woman

a woman is something else

women are something else

from a baby to a beautiful girl

smack them on a cheek

but together

we've got to make it

'cause it's no longer. goodbye

good riddance

that one and only

lonely

a man's world

ha hah

mmm

yeah yeah

aah

sweet as sugar

yeah

strawberry pie

apple and. ow!

love in her heart

and a soul she will find

strength to always survive

the love she can give

this beautiful girl

is a love

that is yours

yours

yours

and mine

women are something else

i'll say it again: from a baby to a beautiful girl

together

hah

gonna make it

lord have mercy

it's no longer

and i'm so glad

a man's world

i'm so lonely

yeah

from a baby to a beautiful girl

together

funny little car

so that we can enjoy

the better little things

gimme my

i think i'd give you my threads

and my bed

and my funny little doodlebug car

get me a dune bug

or some kind of funny old truck

and maybe i'd get lucky to get me a van

i don't know

someway

in the backwood

over at the backwater

over at the backwater

my my my

take me to the backwater

yeah!

take me to the backwater.
