James Brown
Don’t Ask My Neighbors
[Verse 1]
You're wondering if I care about you
Is there some cause that I should doubt you
Oh... oh I can see, boy
That you don't know me very well
Uh-uh, you're so unsure

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You run here and there to ask my feelings
Your friends only guess, they can't say really, oh

[Chorus]
Don't ask my neighbors
Don't ask my friends I hang around
Uh-uh, don't be afraid

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You ask all your friends if I'm the same, boy
You don't understand, you think I'm changing, oh

[Chorus]
Don't ask my neighbors
Don't ask my friends I hang around
Uh-uh, don't be afraid
(Come to me) come to me
(Don't ask my neighbors)
(Come to me) come to me
(Don't be afraid) come to me
Don't ask my neighbors
(Come to me) come to me
(Don't be afraid) ooh, yeah
[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]
(Hii-yaw!) Don't ask my neighbors
Uh-uh, don't be afraid, come to me
Don't ask my neighbors, come to me
Don't be afraid, come to me
Don't ask my neighbors, come to me
(Don't be afraid) come to me
Don't ask my neighbors, all you gotta prove is come to me...

[Outro]
(Don't be afraid, don't ask my neighbors
Don't be afraid, don't ask my neighbors
Don't be afraid, don't ask my neighbors
Don't be afraid, don't ask my neighbors
Don't be afraid, don't ask my neighbors
Don't be afraid, don't ask my neighbors)
