I Meant You No Harm / Jimmy’s Rap Songtext
von Eddie Murphy

And now the mellow sounds of Jimmy Early

I meant you no harm
I never meant to make you cry
You were the only one I′ve ever loved in my life
And though its hard for me to show it
I've got to let you know it
′Cause darling I love you more each day
But the words got in my way

Oh I meant you no harm
And I would die
If you ever said goodbye
I love you, I love you
But I meant you no harm
I never never meant to make you cry
You are the only one I'll ever love in my life

Hold it, hold it, hold it
I cant do it no more, I cant sing no more sad songs


One two three hit me
Bop be bop, bop be bop be deed bop
Bop be bop, bop yeah
Bass man, huh, come on up
One two three hit me
Uh, sound good, yeah
Saxophone on the floor, one two three, hit it
Yeah, ow, uh, come on
Horns hit it, uh, yeah

Hey girl lets rock with Jimmy Early
Got a home in the hills, Mercedes Benz
Hot swimming pool, got lots of friends
Got clothes by the acre, credit to spare
I could wake up tomorrow and find nobody there
But Jimmy want more, Jimmy want more
Jimmy want, Jimmy want, Jimmy want more

Listen
Jimmy want a rib, Jimmy want a steak
Jimmy want a piece of your chocolate cake
Above all of that Jimmy wants some break
'Cause Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul
Jimmy got, Jimmy got, Jimmy got soul

Sooner or later the time comes around
For a man to be a man and take back his sound
I got to do something to shake things up
I like Johnny Mathis, but I can′t do that stuff
Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got S-O-U-L, soul


I can′t do rock, I can't do roll
What I can do, baby, is show my soul
′Cause Jimmy got soul, Jimmy got soul
Jimmy got, Jimmy got, Jimmy got soul
