A Lonely Little Boy Around One Little Christmas Toy - James Brown

A lonely little boy

Around a Christmas toy

A lonely little boy

Around one little Christmas toy

He was crying, he said

«I'm giving it up, I can’t take no more

I’ve got to get even with you, you, you so and so

I’m gonna make a copy, I’ll do every, every, every move

Can you feel it now?

Now, ain’t that a groove?»

And I said, «Don't get anger, son, you’ve got to come through

Because the same way you feel, now, I felt that same way, too»

Now sing it, he sang, «I've got to come through, I can’t forget

I’ve got to come through, no, I just can’t forget»

Don’t let that one little toy get you down 'cause you’re still out of sight

Yes you are, bless your heart, and don’t you fret

And don’t ever, ever, ever fall down

A lonely little boy

A lonely little boy

Hangin' around one little lonely toy

Can you imagine how he feels?

Other kids got a father to come home and say

«What you want for Christmas, son?»

And he recites everything he wants for Christmas

But the little boy over there stands with his head down

Tears falling on his cheek

I, I know how he feels, I know how he feels, too

Because that wasn’t always a little boy, it was me

And sometimes I believe, that I know that it was you

Help him somebody, oh, help that little boy standing over there

He needs shelter, the rain is falling on his head

Help him, let him come in

Let the little boy who wanna get himself a Christmas toy

Do what you can, people

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Help him, people, oh-ho, oh

Lord, oh, help him, people

Hey hey hey hey hey hey, oh, oh, help him
