Before we go too far Bring your love on back to me Stop this insanity How did we ever lose our way? And try to say love is a losing game We were lovers And the best of friends Sometimes the lover Can be angry 'till the end

This song is for you, this song is for you I ain't singing to you... I ain't singing to you To all the lovers in the place... lovers in the place To all the haters in the place... haters in the place (You know it, you know it) (you know it, you know it)

It's for the lover in you, baby This time it's gonna last forever With this ring I'll show you that there ain't no maybes So this is for the lover in you This ring means I'll always be true This is how we'll start love anew This is for the lover in you

Can we afford to wonder If this could be the one? Or an everlasting love? Could this be an everlasting love? Wonder if the feeling's strong enough Tell me, are we merely lovers passing Heart and soul I come to you Are we meeting here on cue Just in time

You know I, this is James Brown I'm such a lover of people Because people did so much for me I'm a lover of all humanity, all man kind And I feel that he who has been successful Should look out of for his fellow man, his brother I feel that's my role,
