I Want To Be Around - James Brown, The Famous Flames

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces

When somebody breaks your heart

Somebody twice as smart as I

Somebody who will swear to be true

Like you used to do with me

Who’ll leave you to learn

That misery loves company--wait and see, wait and see

I wanna be around to see how he does it

When he breaks your heart to bits

Let’s see if the puzzle fits so fine

Now, that’s when I’ll discover that revenge is sweet

As I sit there applauding from a front-row seat

When somebody breaks your heart

Like you broke mine

Sit there applauding from a front-row seat

When somebody breaks your heart

Like you broke mine, broke mine
