Soul Power, Pt. 1 Songtext
von James Brown

Know we need it, soul power
We got to have it, soul power
Know we want it, soul power
Got to have it, soul power

Give it to me, soul power
Hey, you need it, soul power
We want it, soul power
Got to have it, soul power

I wanna get under your skin
If I get there I got to win
You need some soul, come on and get some
And then you′ll know where I'm coming from

A man, a man unaccompanied can go along
But I′m still on the case and my rap is strong
Go jump on my train when I'm outta sight
Just check yourself and say yeah, you're right
Hey, hit me, give it, put it there


Love me tender and love me slow
If that don′t get it, go back for more
Gotta get, you gotta, gotta
Gettin′ the bag, yeah
You know I like it, hey

Lookie here, you gotta get in the bracket
You know that I like it, alright
Lookie here, alright yeah, a ball on the ground
You gotta get down, down, down, down, down
The ball on the ground
You gotta get down, down, down, down, down

Good God, I got the attitude
What you need, soul power
What we want, soul power
I have, soul power
What we want, soul power

I think we gotta go to the bridge
Can we go to the bridge, Bill? (Yeah)
Can we go one more time? The bridge
Hit me


Love me tender, love me slow
If that don't get it, go back for more
Love me tender, love me slow
If that don′t get it, go back for more
Gettin' the bag, yeah
You know I like it, hey

I wanna get under your skin
I wanna get there, I got to win
Beneath the cold, you need some soul
What′s hot, kill the cold
You need some soul, come on and let me get some
And then you'll know where I′m coming from

What we need, soul power
What we want, soul power
What we need, soul power
What we need, soul power
The ball on the ground
You gotta get down, down, down, down, down

Tell me what we need
What we need, soul power
What we want, soul power
What we need, soul power
What we want, soul power

What we need, soul power
What we want, soul power
Can you feel it? Soul power
You've got to feel it, soul power

Got to feel it, soul power
Got to feel it, soul power
Got to, got to, got to, got to...
You've got to feel it, soul power
You′ve got to feel it, soul power
You′ve got to feel it, soul power
You've got to feel it, soul power

The ball on the ground
You gotta get down, down, down, down, down
Feels so good brother, I wanna go to the bridge
One more again (me too)

Will you take me on, brother? (Yeah)
I need help I can′t do it alone (me too)
Now tell me, if you don't wag, you can′t eat
You ready, my brother? (Yes)
Here we go to the bridge, hit it

Alright
Love me tender, then love me slow
If that don't get it, go back for more
Say it again
If that don′t get it, go back for more

Say it again
If that don't get it, go back for more
Say it again
If that don't get it, go back for more
Say it again

If that don′t get it, go back for more
If that don′t get it, go back for more (what?)
If that don't get it, go back for more (hey, hey)
Tell me what we need (soul power)
What we want (soul power)
Say it again (soul power)
What we need (soul power)

I said love me tender, then love me slow
If that don′t get it, go back for more
Say it again
If that don't get it, go back for more
Say it again
If that don′t get it, go back for more

You, ball on the ground, remember
You gotta get down, down, down, down, down
Say it again, say it
If that don't get it, go back for more (what?)
If that don′t get it, go back for more (come on)

Is that soul power? (Soul power)
Is that soul power? (Soul power)
Well that's what that's about (soul power)
Is that what you call it? (Yes I did)

What we need, soul power
What we want, soul power
What we need, soul power
What we want, soul power

All the guys talkin′ to that young girl sittin′ up there
I wanna tell 'em something (alright)

Love me tender, love me slow (love me tender)
If that don′t get it, come back for more (what you say)
If that don't get it
I don′t think they heard it (come back for more)

(What you say?) if that don't get it, come back for more
(Tell her) if that don′t get it, come back for more
Do your little thing but you know (come back for more)
