James Brown - Intro/ It's A New Day (So Let A Man Come In And Do The Popcorn) - Live At The Apollo Theater/1971 Lyrics

Ready
Fellas, things done got too far gone
We gotta let the girls know what they gotta do for us
It's done got to be a drag, man, a man can't do nothin' no more

It's really a drag
You got to do somethin'
Can I tell 'em?
Let me on

Girl, let me tell you what you got to do
T.C.B. so mellow, 'til nobody can get through
When he asks you do you love him, smilin' and kiss his cheek
Walk away and twist your hip, make sure you keep him weak

Don't let nobody take care your business better than you do
Do what he wants, give what he wants, respect will come to you
And than you can hold your man, you can hold your man
You can hold your man, you can hold, hey

Never get so confident so it's nothin' you want to know
Because that's the time you lose your thing, and then you got to blow
You know what we got [Incomprehensible] 1.05
Use your thing so carefully and don't be a total loss

Sister, when you love your man, be careful how you tell him that
He will put you back in a corner, and use you like a Sunday hat
You can hold your man, you can hold your man
You can hold your man, you can hold, hey

Hit it
Good God, get it
Hit me now
Good God

Never get too confident so it's nothin' you want to know
Because that's the time you lose your thing, then you got to blow
You know I got what it takes to be the untold boss
You gotta use it carefully and you can't be a total

Hit me now
Good God, hit it
Yeah
Good God

Fellas
Can I get some help?
Can I get some help?
Let me have some help
Can I get a witness?

Said I need a witness?
Said I need a witness?
I, I, I, I need a witness

Can I get a witness?
I want a witness over there
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness over here

I'm a witness right here
I'm a witness over there
Is a witness over there?
I'm a witness right here
Wait a minute

Girl, let me tell you what you got to do
T.C.B. so mellow, and nobody can get through
And when he asks you do you love him, smile and kiss his cheek
Good God
Walk away and twist your hip, make sure you keep him weak
Ah, make sure You keep him weak, good God sure You keep him

Ain't it funky now? Good God
