(Turn it up)
Somebody save your soul
cause you've been sinning
in this city I know
Too many troubles
all these lovers got you losing control
You're like a drug to me
a luxury my sugar and gold
I want the good life
Every good night
you're a hard one to hold

Cause you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Somebody save your soul
cause you've been sinning
in this city I know
Too many troubles
all these lovers got you losing control
You're like a drug to me a luxury
my sugar and gold
I want your sex and your affection
when they're holdin' you close

Cause you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Every night when the stars come out
Am I the only living soul around?
Need to believe you
could hold me down
Cause I'm in need of somethin'
good right now
We could be screamin'
till the sun comes out
And when we wake
we'd be the only sound
I get on my knees
and say a prayer: James Brown

That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
(Turn it up)
That I can make your hands clap

My flesh is searchin' for your worst
and best don't ever deny
I'm like a stranger gimme me danger
All your wrongs and your rights
Secrets on Broadway to the freeway
you're a keeper of crimes
Fear no conviction
grapes of wrath can
only sweeten your wine

But you don't even know
I can make your hands clap
Said I can make your hands clap

Every night when the stars come out
Am I the only living soul around?
Need to believe you
could hold me down
Cause I'm in need of somethin'
good right now
We could be screamin'
till the sun comes out
And when we wake
we'd be the only sound
I get on my knees
and say a prayer: James Brown

That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
That I can make your hands clap
So can I get a handclap
