My song is a serious matter
It reflects what I feel If I say I love you, I mean it 'Cause in my song Every line is for real Every man or woman Enjoys going home To a peaceful situation To give love and receive love Without any complications Whether my tune is short or long Whether my lyrics are weak or strong I like to live the love That I sing about in my song I like to live the love That I sing about in my song Music is love And my love is music In perfect harmony So when I sing I have sung all about The love of you and me I never got angry with my guitar 'Cause when I strike a chord It gives me what I wanna hear So I'm finding out that We are quite like my song together, my dear Outside answers Should always be forbidden Problems should be solved And never hidden I like to live the love That I sing about in my song I like to live the love That I sing about in my song |

Three days of snow in Birmingham
Thought you would wonder where I am Rang our number all night long It's no comfort on the telephone Ran out and caught a midnight flight Thought a little love would make everything all right The landlord said you moved away And left me all your bills to pay Look out baby, you might have made your move too soon Left me with a Keno card This life in Vegas sure ain't hard I ran it up to about fifty grand Cashed it in and held it in my hand That kind of word can get around And make a lost love come up found I hear you knocking baby at my door But you know you ain't living here no more It's too bad I think you made your move too soon I've been from Spain to Tokyo From Africa to Ohio I never tried to make the news I'm just a man who plays the blues I take my lovin' everywhere I come back, and they still care you know One love ahead One love behind One in my arms and one on my mind It's one thing baby I never make my move too soon I've been from Spain to Tokyo From Africa to Ohio I never tried to make the news I'm just a man who plays the blues I take my lovin' everywhere I come back, you know they still all care One love ahead and one behind One in my arms you know, one on my mind And it's one thing people I never make my move too soon |

I've been around and I've seen some things
People moving faster than the speed of sound Faster than the speeding bullet People living like Superman All day and all night And I won't say if it's wrong or if it's right I'm pretty fast myself But I do have some advice to pass along Along in the chorus of this song Better not look down If you want to keep on flying Put the hammer down Keep it full speed ahead Better not look back Or you might just wind up crying You can keep it moving If you don't look down An old girl friend of mine showed up the other day That girl have lived in love and for love And over love, and under love all her life If the arrows from cupid's bow that had Passed through her heart had been sticking Out of her body she would have looked like A porcupine, and she asked me B.B. do you think I've lived my life all wrong? And I said: The only advice I have to pass Along in the chorus of this song Girl Better not look down If you want to keep on flying Put the hammer down Keep it full speed ahead Better not look back Or you might just wind up crying You can keep it moving If you don't look down I was walking down the street at sunrise one morning In London, England And there was a very large Rolls Royce Limousine Pulling slowly along the street And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England Looking tired Just go back from a party, and the Queen leaned out and She said: Aren't you B.B. King? She said: Oh B.B., sometimes it's so hard to pull things together Could you tell me what you think I ought to do? And I said: Better not look down If you want to keep on flying Put the hammer down Keep it full speed ahead Better not look back Or you might just wind up crying You can keep it moving If you don't look down |

Sometimes I wonder Just what am I fighting for? I win some battles But I always lose the war I keep right on stumblin' In this no-man's land out here But I know Mmmmm yes, I know There must be a better world somewhere Flying high Some joker clips my wings Just because he gets a kick Out of doing those kind of things I keep on fallin' in space Or just hangin' in mid-air But I know Ohh yes, I know There has just got to be a better world somewhere Every woman I want Only wants herself Everybody I love Seems to love somebody else And every woman Got a license to break my heart And every love, oh it's over Over before it gets a chance to start If it ain't dead Maybe in the year after Instead of tears I'll learn all about laughter But meanwhile I'm stuck out here It just ain't fair, but I know I said I know Oh yes, I know There must be a better world somewhere There's just gotta be Gotta be a better world somewhere |

Hey Mr. President
All your congressmen, too You got me frustrated And I don't know what to do I'm trying to make a living I can't save a cent It takes all of my money Just to eat and pay my rent I got the blues Got those inflation blues You know, I'm not one Of those high brows I'm average Joe to you I came up eating cornbread Candied yams and chicken stew Now you take that paper dollar It's only that in name The way that buck has shrunk It's a lowdown dirty shame That's why I got the blues Got those inflation blues Mr. President Please cut the price of sugar I wanna make my coffee sweet I wanna smear some butter on my bread And I just got to have my meat When you start rationing You really played the game And things are going up And up and up and up And my check remains the same That's why I got the blues Got those inflation blues |

And I'm starting to sink So tired of struggling That my mind can barely think I don't know where I'm going Lord, I don't know what I'm gonna do My Fuel supply is finished There ain't nothing left to burn I need someone to help me But I don't know which way to turn I know I don't have much of a choice I'll go out of my mind Or into the night I'm rolling and tumbling Spinning end over end Got to have some peace and quiet So I can find myself again Still if you ask me what's the matter I just don't know what to say There's people all around me But I feel so alone I guess they'd like to help me But I have to do it on my own I know I don't have much of a choice I'll go out of my mind Or into the night |

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was a sailor, I was lost in sea I was under the waves, before love rescued me I was a fighter I could turn on a threat Now I stand accused of the things I've said. When love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down, But I did what I did before love came to town. Used to make love under a red sunset, I was making promises I was soon to forget. She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown, But I left her standing before love came to town. Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream, The notes were turning blue when I fell into a dream As the music played I saw my life turn around That was the day before love came to town. Love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down, But I did what I did before love came to town. I was there when they crucified my lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side, But I've seen love conquer the great divide. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... |

I took a big long look around I've lived it up and loved it up And done it in this town Life goes on Look like it's time For moving on Good-bye, baby I wanna thank you for the ride We did a dance and took a chance Nothing we ain't tried C'est la vie Time, you and me Moving on I'm moving on I'll see you somewhere down the line I'm moving on We're looking good and feeling fine I'm moving on And you are yours and I'm mine I'll see you somewhere in my dreams I'm moving on So thanks for all the memories I'm moving on And you can call me Mr. Breeze I'm moving on Life is full of mysteries Nothing is ever what it seems Might try Vegas And keep on playing till I win Or take it out to Hollywood And fall in love again Come what may Night and day I'm moving on I'm moving on I'm moving on I'll see you somewhere down the line I'm moving on We're looking good and feeling fine I'm moving on And you are yours and I'm mine I'll see you somewhere in my dreams I'm moving on So thanks for all the memories I'm moving on And you can call me Mr. Breeze I'm moving on Life is full of mysteries Nothing is ever what it seems |

Since I met you baby
My whole life has changed Since I met you baby My whole life has changed And everybody tells me That I'm not the same I don't need nobody To tell my troubles to I don't need nobody To tell my troubles to 'Cause since I met you baby All I need you is you Since I met you baby I'm a happy man Since I met you baby I'm a happy man I'm gonna try to please you In every way I can Since I met you baby I'm a happy man Since I met you baby I'm a happy man For since I met you baby All I need is you All I need is you |
