Lyrics Don't Let It Happen To Me - James Brown

Now there's a thing
That's going 'round
Make for sure
That's renowned
Said this thing
Come over you
Make you do things
That you should not do

Now if it's love, love
Don't let it happen to me

One of these days
Won't be long
Gonna look for me
I'll be gone
Tell my friends
I've gone away
'Cause of your love
That I'm gonna stay

Now if it's love, love
Don't let it happen to me

You want to marry
You wanted to be my bride
I just couldn't have it
I couldn't lose my pride
I told my friends
That I was goin' away
'Cause of your love
That I'm going to stay

Heh-eh-eh
Won't be long
Gonna look for me
I'll be gone
Tell my friends
That I'm breakin' up
'Bout a little girl
I used to love

But if it's love, love
Don't let it happen to me

Woah, yeah
Woah, yeah
Yeah, it's true
Yeah, you heard me now
Mm-mm
Woah, yeah
Yeah!
Mm-mm

You wanted to marry
You wanted to be my bride
I just couldn't have it
I didn't want to lose my pride
I told my friends
That I was goin' away
'Cause of your love
That I'm going to stay

Heh-eh-eh
Won't be long
Gonna look for me
I'll be gone
Tell my friends
That I'm breakin' up
'Bout a little girl
I used to love

But if it's love, love
Don't let it happen to me

Woah, yeah
Woah, yeah
Ooh
Yeah, yeah
