[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
Try, 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, no matter what you do
I'll always love you

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

You've got to change your mind
I tried, tried so hard, Lord, to be what you want 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 me Mr. Pitiful
And Sam & Dave said... [applause]
