James Brown - It's a Mother

I'm Shook

Ha, ha, ha
Uh, ha

Here I stand just waiting in vain
My tears are falling down like rain
All my friends told me someday you'd make me cry
I said they were jealous and, and it was just a lie
But here I stand, my broken heart
Why, oh why, did we ever have to part?
Oh, my darling, won't you ease the pain
By saying they were wrong?

Don't let me stand here, you don't ease the pain
I got to stand here waiting in vain
Just stand here now, waiting in vain
I got to stand here now, waiting in vain
One, two, three

I say, here I stand, waiting in vain, ha
My tears are falling down like rain
People said that they don't know her
I got to tell 'em, the thing I have, ha

I know for sure
Don't let me, don't let me leave, ha
Don't let me leave
Don't be so cruel, ha
Don't think you'll find a fool

I'm all shook up (ah baby, don't you leave), I'm all shook up
I'm all shook up (ah baby, don't you leave), I'm all shook up
I said I'm shook (ah baby, don't you leave), I said I'm shook
I said I'm shook (ah baby, don't you leave), I said I'm shook

Here I stand (ah baby, don't you leave) just waiting in vain
My tears (ah baby, don't you leave) are falling down, down, down
Like rain (ah baby, don't you leave) ha
All of my friends, they told me (ah baby, don't you leave) someday
That you'd make me, you'd make me cry (ah baby, don't you leave), ha
I said they, they (ah baby, don't you leave), they were jealous
And it, and it was (ah baby, don't you leave), and it was just a lie
Here I stand (ah baby, don't you leave) with a broken heart
