Goodbye My Love

James Brown
Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud

You know, sometimes a man, a woman, makes a mistakeTry to find a reason for making a mistakeBut there's no reason to make a mistake

The only thing you can do when you make a mistake is say, "I'm sorry"It takes a man or a woman to say, "I'm sorry"And it takes a fool to walk away

So right here I wanna say, "I'm sorry"I don't know where you are, but you know I need youNow there's one more thing I'd like to say right here

I could say, maybe you just don't understandI could say, baby, I believe you got another manAnd then I could say, I just can't help myselfBut I wouldn't be a man

And then I could say, maybe you don't have nothing leftBut I want you to know I still love youOh, no matter where you go, I still love youOh, oh take it down, Jimmy

Goodbye my love, throwing me awayGoodbye my love

There's one more thing, you knowTo have somebody to worry when you worryTo feel the need of a real person when your friends drop you behindTo kill your anger just by being nice and kind

I could say, if you leave it wouldn't bother meBut I know that would be a lie'Cause baby, deep down inside you bother meThat I want you to know, and I don't care who knows

I still love youWoah, oh, I still love youOh, oh take it down, Jimmy

Now look at youYou always been in my corner, never let me be a lonerThere's one more thing I'd like to say right hereYou told me that no one would ever be able to take my placeThat every time the feeling was nice and you followed my embrace

You said everything would be alrightYou had no other love, no, no other person in your sightYou said there would be anotherThere would never, never, never be anotherAnd I believed you, I believed youYes, I believed you, 'cause I want you to know

I still love youWoah, oh, I still love youI don't care who knows, no, woahTake it down, Jimmy

Goodbye my love, you've thrown me awayGoodbye my love, you've thrown me awayYou've thrown, you've thrown me away

You walked away from me, tell me why?You walked away from me, just one more thingJust one more thing I got to say right hereJust one more thing I got to say right here

I still love youWoah, oh, yeah, I still love youWoah, oh, ohTake it down, Jimmy
