I Want To Be Around - James Brown, New York Studio Orchestra & Chorus

I wanna be around, to pick up the pieces

When somebody breaks your heart

Some, somebody twice as smart as I

A somebody who, will swear to be true

As you use to do with me

Who’ll leave you to learn that misery loves company

Wait and see

I wanna be around to see how she does it

When she breaks your heart to bits

Let’s see how the puzzle fits so fine

And that’s when I’ll discover that revenge is sweet

As I sit there applauding from a front row seat

When somebody breaks you heart

Like you, like you broke mine
