Just Won’t Do Right Lyrics
[Lyn Collins & James Brown]
Since you've been gone
I've cried in the chapel every night
Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Girl, I've cried in the chapel every night
Baby, baby, baby
Your...love just won't do right
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Am I the one?
Tell me, darlin', tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Am I the one?
I got to know (Am I the one?)
Tell me, tell me - am I, am I the one? (Am I the one?)
Since you've been gone, I've been all alone
Waiting and watching for you
My heart is crying, slowly I'm dying
Still, I'm here waiting for you
And oh ho ho
Go - I've cried in the chapel every night
Your...love just won't do right
Oh baby, you just won't, you just won't do right
I tried so hard
No, no, I found out too late that you just won't do right
I tried so hard, yes I did
No no no, I love you but you won't do right
You believe I tried?
I don't believe you tried too hard, baby, no no
You just won't, just won't just won't do right
No no, no no (Just won't do right)
Since you've been gone
I've cried in the chapel every night
Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Girl, I've cried in the chapel every night
Baby, baby, baby
Your...love just won't do right
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Am I the one?
Tell me, darlin', tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Am I the one?
I got to know (Am I the one?)
Tell me, tell me - am I, am I the one? (Am I the one?)
Since you've been gone, I've been all alone
Waiting and watching for you
My heart is crying, slowly I'm dying
Still, I'm here waiting for you
And oh ho ho
Go - I've cried in the chapel every night
Your...love just won't do right
Oh baby, you just won't, you just won't do right
I tried so hard
No, no, I found out too late that you just won't do right
I tried so hard, yes I did
No no no, I love you but you won't do right
You believe I tried?
I don't believe you tried too hard, baby, no no
You just won't, just won't just won't do right
No no, no no (Just won't do right)
