    Hi:

    I found the lyrics for the song at top40db.net/Lyrics/?SongID=64180&By=Year&Match=1964 (I don't know if they are accurate, though)


    Oh Baby Don't You Weep
    by James Brown


    Sometimes, the going
    Gets a little bit tough now

    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    When the times get hard
    And the friends get few now
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    No one to turn to and
    Nothing to do now
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    You're screaming your heart out
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    Til your back and is
    Soaking wet now
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    You're still looking for mercy
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    And still, you can't forget now

    Screaming your heart out
    Your back gets soaking wet
    You know that you used to love him
    And still, you can't forget

    You know sometimes it's hard
    Nowhere to go
    No one to love
    Tried everything you know

    Haaa, baby
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    And, ahhh, baby
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    And, ahhh, baby
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    I want you to play
    I want you to play a little song

    Do doop doopty doop)
    You know, a friend of mine
    Told me one time
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I think it was back in 1959
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    He said, darling, you send me
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    He said, if you call me
    I'll come running back to you
    (Do doop doopty doop)

    And another friend of mine told me
    He said, if you need me, call me
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    You see, I got a lot of
    Friends in my business
    And another friend of mine
    He told me
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    You better stop dogging
    Me around, now
    (Do doop doopty doop)

    And a recent friend
    Of mine, he came up
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    And you know what he said
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    It's too late
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    Another friend of mine in a group
    I'm talking bout Bobby boy, now
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    He said a young man
    Sings his heart out
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    He walked up, he said, James
    I had so much trials and tribulations
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    But I found out now

    (Do doop doopty doop)
    And you see, another friend
    Of mine, he told me
    He called me Bishop
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    He said, James
    You was born to lose
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I wouldn't take that for an answer
    I went on down the street
    (Do doop doopty doop)

    I said to myself
    I said, James Brown
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    Please, please, please, please
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    Come along, someone now

    Aaaah, baby
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    Aaaah, baby
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I'm gonna call a friend
    Of mine in a band now
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I want him to come up
    And testify now
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I want you to blow
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I want you to blow for the people
    Who need someone to love now
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I want you to blow for the people
    Who don't have no one to love
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I want you to blow for somebody
    That I lost long time ago
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I want him to blow better than
    On anybody's record now
    (Do doop doopty doop)
    I want you to blow for yourself one time
    (Do doop doopty doop)

    Aaaah, baby
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    Aaaah, baby
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    Aaaah, baby
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    I think I'm gonna scream
    A little louder and maybe
    You'll come on home now

    Ow, oh, baby
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    Aaaah, baby
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep)
    Aaaah, baby
    (Oh, baby, don't you weep).....
