Bewildered
James Brown The Famous Flames Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bewildered, lost in a dream
In the love I need why did we part
Bewildered, has love, has love died dear
Wishing your heart could feel

What`s in my heart
Must I have sleepless night
And endless days
Oh love why did you keep my soul

Without a spark I`m in the dark
Bewildered, I need your, I need your I need your guiding hand
I`ll never, no I`ll never understand

How you can love me, how you can love me




How you can love me, how you can love me
How you can love me and leave me Bewildered, bewidered

The song Bewildered by James Brown The Famous Flames is a heart-wrenching ballad about a man who is lost in love and cannot understand why his lover would leave him feeling so confused and betrayed.

He wishes that his former lover could feel what he feels and understand the pain that he is experiencing. He questions whether his love for her was not enough and why she would leave him in such a state.


The bridge of the song is particularly poignant as Brown declares, "Without a spark I'm in the dark."

James Brown wasn't just a funky soul singer. This proves how good his blues-love voice is, the range and control is perfect and insane

@dianealexander7004

James Brown was a perfectionist. He could hear a wrong note, a missed beat, any mistake he heard it and he would fine a band member. His band was called The Famous Flames.. In one of his records you could here him say I gotcha. But if you didn't know it you think it a part of the song cause he incorporated it into the song.

Amen
