It Won't Be Me - James Brown, The Famous Flames

One of these days, you’re gonna need somebody

One of these days darlin'

You’re gonna be hurt like me Don’t matter how much you try to apologise

You’re gonna need somebody

Gonna want somebody baby

Somebody to dry your eyes

No, no, no, it won’t be me It won’t be me It won’t be me One of these days

You’re gonna be alone

One of these days darlin'

You’re gonna be so blue

You’re gonna try to smile

But the hurt won’t let you

One of these days baby

You’ll need somebody to be true

(Repeat *)

You came, you saw, conquered me I was bound by the same love

I worked hard every day

Gave you all my hard earned pay

Go on your way

The time is gonna come for you

Some day

One of these days, you’re gonna want someone

Who don’t want you

One of these days, you’ll be in misery

Some day you’ll take a fall I bet you

You’ll need, need

It won’t be me

(Repeat *)
