A Man Has To Go Back To The Crossroads - James Brown

Sometimes when you’ve been misused

Feel that you’ve been abused

It’ll leave you definitely confused

But this is what you do

Remember

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

Sometimes it’s tough, sometimes it’s rough

And sometimes your loved one, they don’t love you just enough

Oh, it’s so hard, but it’s fair

When there’s someone that loves you

They’re jivin' and they don’t care

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

Sometimes it looks like my whole life has changed

And sometimes the ones that say they loved me

It seems, it seems that they have changed so strange

Alright, I know it’s tough, it’s hard but it’s fair

When someone says they love you and you know they don’t care

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

A man has to go back to the crossroad before he find himself

Help me soul, let me go back to the crossroad, so I can find myself

Sometime I get lonely, way in the middle of the night

Reason why I get lonely, I must have did something that just wasn’t right

So I got to go back to the crossroad, won’t you admit it, baby
