[Intro] Turn it up [Verse 1] Somebody save your soul 'cause you've been sinnin' 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 [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause you don't even know I can make your hands clap Said I can make your hands clap [Verse 2] 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 (Ha, ha, ha) [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause you don't even know I can make your hands clap Said I can make your hands clap [Chorus] 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' 'til 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 [Post-Chorus] That I can make your hands clap Turn it up That I can make your hands clap [Verse 3] My flesh is searchin' for your worst and best, don't ever deny I'm like a stranger, gimme danger, all your wrong and your right Secrets on Broadway to the freeway, you're a keeper of crimes Fear no conviction, grapes of wrath can only sweeten your wine [Pre-Chorus] But you don't even know I can make your hands clap Said I can make your hands clap [Chorus] 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' 'til 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 [Post-Chorus] That I can make your hands clap That I can make your hands clap (Yeah-yeah, oh, oh, yeah-yeah) That I can make your hands clap (Yeah-yeah, oh, oh) So can I get a handclap?
