James Brown & The Famous Flames
Don’t Let It Happen to Me
[Verse 1]
Now there's a thing that's going around
It’ll make you put your best friend down
Say this thing will worry you
Make you do things that you should not do
[Refrain]
Now if it's love, love
Don't let it happen to me
[Verse 2]
One of these days, won't be long
Gonna look for me, I’ll be gone
Tell my friends I’ve gone away
Because of your love that I'm gone to stay
[Refrain]
Now if it's love, love
Don't let it happen to me
[Bridge]
You wanted to marry, you wanted to be my bride
I just couldn't have it, I didn’t wanna lose my pride
I told my friends that I was goin' away
Because of your love that I'm gonе to stay
[Verse 3]
Hey hey hey, won't bе long
Gonna look for me, I’ll be gone
Tell my friends that I'm thinking of
'Bout a little girl I used to love
[Refrain]
But if it's love, love
Don't let it happen to me
Woah, yeah
Woah, yeah
Tell the truth
Do you heard me now?

Woah, yeah
Yeah!

[Bridge]
You wanted to marry, you wanted to be my bride
