Maybe The Last Time

In 1964, Brown and his agent formed Fair Deal Records and began leasing new recordings to Smash Records. When this was released by Smash, Brown's old label, King Records, sued him for breach of contract. While the lawsuit was percolating through the system, this reached #24 on the singles charts, and Smash readied "I Got You (I Feel Good)" for release, which it did in the summer of '64. In October 1964, a judge ruled that Smash would be allowed to issue only instrumental recordings by Brown, and all masters of his vocals would become property of King Records. Distribution of "I Got You (I Feel Good)" was halted upon the ruling. This was King Record's third Smash single, after "Caldonia" (a big-band version of Louis Jordan's classic hit) and a cover of Guitar Slim's "The Things I Used to Do." Brown recorded this with his band, The Famous Flames. >>>

You got your highest sneakers on
It's slippin' new
You got your highest sneakers on
And you're slippin' new
You're more than alright
You know you're out of sight

You gotta shapeless the figure, mama
That's keeping me uptight
You gotta shapeless the figure, mama
That keep me uptight
You're too much
You know you're out of sight

Hey, the way you do the thing you do
Well, you kissed me too
The way you do the things you do
The way you kiss me too
My heart delight, that what's wrong
You know you're out of sight

You got a sweet disposition
Oh, you're always right
You got a sweet disposition
You know you're always right
Know just what you're doin' baby
You know you're out of sight

You're too much
You're in
You're hip, baby
You know just where you're at
You're beautiful, mama
Most of all your arms
There's no doubt, you're out of sight
Out of sight, out of sight
