Think (Version 1) Lyrics by James Brown

The Singles, Vol. 8: 1972-1973

0

[Verse 1]
Think about the sacrifices that I made for you
Think about the good things that I've done for you
Now think about the bad things I tried not to do, baby baby
Think about the wrong things you addicted me to, come on

[Chorus]
(Think) About the good things, baby
(Think) About the wrong things, maybe
(Think) Baby, 'bout the right things
(Think) About the out of sight things
Lady, before you leave me, realize I'm the one who loves you

[Verse 2]
How much of all your happiness can I really claim?
How tears have you shed for which I was the blame?
I don't remember what they brought
I tried so hard to please you, at least that's what I thought
Come on

[Chorus]
(Think) About the good things, baby
(Think) About the wrong things, maybe
(Think) About the things I wouldn't do
(Think) What I've done for you
Lady, before you leave me, realize I'm the one who loves you, HEY

[Verse 3]
Think about the sacrifices that I made for you
Think of all the good things...OH-HO
Think of all the bad things I tried not to do
When you get tired, you think about the good things done for you
Come on...

[Chorus]
(Think) Baby, 'bout the good things
(Think) Just sit on down and...
(Think) Just sit on down and...
(Think) Just sit on down
(Think) Think, think, HEY, HEY
(Think) Just think on, baby
(Think) When you get tired
(Think) Sit on down
(Think) Sit down
(Think) HEY
(Think) HEY
(Think) Baby
(Think) HEY

[Verse 4]
Think about the sacrifices made for you
Think about the hard times, I had spent with you
Think about the good thing, think about the good thing, come on now

[Chorus]
(Think) Think, baby
(Think) And don't you forget
(Think) HEY HEY
(Think) Never never never make me fret
(Think) Think, think
(Think) HEY HEY
(Think) Don't you forget
(Think) How much of your happiness
(Think) Can I really claim
(Think) Tell me how much of your happiness
(Think) How can I really claim?
(Think) HEY
(Think) How much of your sadness would you wanna blame?
