James Brown
Don’t Throw Your Love in the Garbage Can
[Intro]
You know girls without your love, you don't even exist
So why waste your love on some no good man?
Now dig on this

[Chorus]
Stop throwing your love in the garbage can
By giving your love to a no good man
Girls, take your love off the trash pile
You gotta give it to someone who's gonna stay for a while

[Verse 1]
Some of you girls don't know one man from the other
And because of this, it's bringing me tears
So listen to me while I rap to you
And I'll tell you who the wrong man is
The wrong man is a man who can't be true
The wrong man is a man who don't dig you
The wrong guys are guys who tell you nothing but lies
And never do thе things they're supposed to

[Pre-Chorus]
You'rе giving your love on a silver platter
All decorated
Why should you keep doing the same old thing
When he doesn't appreciate it?
[Chorus]
Stop throwing your love, ah, in the garbage can
By giving your love to some no good man
Girls, take your love off the trash pile
You gotta give it to some guy who's gonna stay for a while

[Verse 2]
If he don't dig you like you dig him
Then let him go
You better believe the things I say
'Cause I'd hate to say "I told you so"
Stop going down that one way street
Save your love for someone who deserves it
And stay away from no good men

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop giving your love on a silver platter
All decorated
Stop wasting your love and time on men
When they just don't appreciate it

[Chorus]
Stop throwing your love, ah, in the garbage can
By giving your love to some no good man
Girls, take your love off the trash pile
You gotta give it to someone who's gonna stay for a while
[Outro]
You gotta give it to someone who's gonna stay for a while
Don't throw your love, don't throw your love
Girls, don't throw your love in the garbage can
'Cause there's some man somewhere
Some man somewhere is waiting for your love
Who's waiting for your love
