This went to #1 on the US R&B charts in 1962.
Lyrics:
If you should lose me,oh yeah,you’ll lose a good thing
If you should lose me, oh yeah,you’ll lose a good thing
You know I love you,do anything for you
Just don’t mistreat me,and I’ll be good to you
Cause if you should lose me, oh yeah, you’ll lose a good thing
I’m givin you one more chance,for you to do right
If you’ll only straighten up,we’ll have a good life
Cause if you should lose me, oh yeah, you’ll lose a good thing
This is my last time,not asking any more
If you don’t do right,I’m gonna march outa that door
And if you don’t believe me, just try it daddy
And you’ll lose a good thing
Just try it daddy and you’ll lose a good thing
Just try it daddy and you’ll lose a good thing
Just try it daddy and you’ll lose a good thing
Just try it daddy and you’ll lose a good thing fades
Do any proceeds go to the Artist or is forever the publishing/record label that gets the cut when they use it in an OST, commercial, etc? I’ve heard this song in an ending credit.

Love this music. The money for commercial usage of a piece of work is split between the publisher and songwriter. Of course many songwriters were cheated out of their publishing rights or sold them. Generally speaking, you can’t use someone else’s work in your own work without permission from songwriter/publisher. Of course the person who made a song famous is not necessarily the person who wrote it.

Nice! I was just listening to the radio as I was driving today. Man, music today SUCKS! The lyrics are all repetitive and vulgar no matter what genre you listen to. I like old school R&B music. Good, clean lyrics and she’s dressed like a lady. She looks like a class act. I was born in the wrong time period.

Ladies, is your man acting up? Play this song as he enters the house. Still not acting right? Then proceed to play “It’s a Thin Line Between Love and Hate.” Lol!
