You've Got To Change Your Mind

by Bobby Byrd & James Brown

on I Can't Stand Myself When You Touch Me (1968)

[Bobby Byrd & James Brown]
You've got to change your mind
Oh darling, your perfect love means so much to me
You've got to change your mind
And love me, love me all the time
You've got to change your mind
I tried, I tried so hard to be what you want me to be
You've got to change your mind
And stay by me, baby, stay by me all the time
You've got to change your mind
I gotta change but I can't, I can't keep on, can't keep on looking down
You've got to change your mind
And no matter where you go, no matter what you do
I'll always love you

Is something wrong with my baby?
If I could just only ask my baby right now...

You've got to change your mind
I tried, tried so hard, Lord, to be what you wanted me to be
You've got to change your mind
Please don't leave me, please don't leave me
If you do, I'd lose my mind

Otis Redding said, "Oh now, they call Mr. Pitiful"
And Sam & Dave said, "Hold on, hold on"
When something's wrong with my baby
Oh, then something is wrong with me
Oh, baby, don't make me a prisoner of love
Don't make me a prisoner of love
Please, please, please, baby
Please, please, please, please
Treat me, treat me like I'm just a nobody
