B. B. King lyrics
Album: Let Me Love You [1965]
| You're Gonna Miss Me | |
|
Oh you're gonna miss me baby
And I'll be so far away
Oh you're gonna miss me baby
And I'll be so far away
You know you better change now baby
Baby there's always another day
Oh your friend will always tell you baby
They'll say that you're going strong
Oh your friend will always tell you baby
They'll say that you're going strong
Well they'll smile and call you lover
Fool, don't you know you're doing wrong
Oh you better stop right now baby
You better stop now and draw the line
Yes you better stop right now baby
Baby better stop now and draw the line
Oh, I want you to tell me that you love me baby
And love all your no-good friends behind

| Let Me Love You | |
|
If you would let me love you, baby
There is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you
Yes if you would let me love you, baby
Ain't nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you
I would even try to walk on water, woman
If you would just say,
"Baby I love you too"
If you let me love you, baby
I'll buy you a car made of gold
I'll even give you a fountain of youth, baby
So you will never grow old
Just let me love you, woman
Ain't nothing I wouldn't do in this world
I want you to call me your boy, woman
Baby, and I'm gonna call you my girl
Yeah, I'l lhire you a teacher, baby
to read you storybooks
I'll make you a talkin' mirror, woman
Just to tell you how good you look
Ain't nothing I wouldn't do in this world
I want you to call me your boy, woman
Baby, and I'm gonna call you my girl
Yes, I'm gonna fall on my knees
Would even call the Lord
Just to seed the dimple, baby
In your cheeks when you smile
Let me love you
Ain't nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you
I say I would try to walk the water, baby
If you say that you love me too
|
| I Can't Explain | |
|
Oh, I can't explain baby
But heaven only knows why
Oh, I can't explain
And heaven only knows why
yes, I'll be in love with you baby
I guess until the day I die
You are to me, baby
What the water is to the sea
Oh, you are to me, baby
What the water is to the sea
I only want your love, baby
So tell me why don't you want me
Yes, I don't believe in miracles
I believe what's to be will be
Yes, I don't believe, I don't believe in miracles
I only believe what's to be will be
Yes but if I did believe in miracles, baby
Baby, you would be a miracle to me
Yes, you're my first thought baby
Yes my last and in between
Oh, you're my first thought baby
Yes my last and in between
I say you're the greatest champion baby
Oh that any man has ever seen
|
| Troubles Don't Last | |
|
Oh just let me hold you baby
I'm trying to forget about the past
Yes, let me hold you baby
I'm trying to forget about the past
Yes, I know you've had a hard time baby
But remember troubles don't always last
Oh you tried so hard to tell me you love me
And I didn't believe a word you said
You tried so hard to tell me you love me, woman
And I didn't believe a word you said
But now I'm older and I'm wiser, baby
And now I can understand your ways
Oh, I'm at your mercy, woman
Do with me what you will to me
Yes I'm at your mercy, baby
Just do with me what you will to me
Yes I'm not asking for sympathy baby
Yes I was wrong and I must pay
Oh, I'm asking for just one more chance
Baby, to try to prove my love to you
Well, I'm asking you for just one more chance
Baby, to try to prove my love to you
You just say the word now baby
And I'll do anything you tell me to

| Walking Dr. Bill | |
|
Well, my head's in misery
My heart's in a sling
I'm a walking Doctor Bill
People, my whole life is full of pain
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind
Well, I walked my bedroom floor
Hung down my head and cried
I didn't exactly have the blues
I just want satisfied
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind
Well, I can't sleep sound at night
I just cat-nap through the day
I can't hold out much lounger
People, livin' this-a-way, yeah!
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm gonna leave here walkin' buddy
With my clothes in my hand
I got to find my big-legged woman
Before she gets her another man, yes!
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind
She's a fine lookin' woman
Her shape is a dream
She's the lovin'-est female
People, I've ever seen, yes!
Yes, I need my baby
People, I ain't signifyin'
Well, you know if I don't hurry up and find her
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind

| Hold That Train | |
|
Hold that train, conductor
Please don't let that engineer start
Hold that train, conductor
Please don't let that engineer start
Well, I wanna ride your train this morning
Just to ease my achin' heart
Yes, for the last few mornings lately
Before I get out of my bed
Yes, for the last few mornings lately
Before I get out of my bed
Well, I hear your whistle moanin'
And it almost drives me out of my head
I'll pay my fare when we starts rollin'
All your money's right here in my pants
I'll pay my fare when we starts rollin'
All your money's right here in my pants
Well, I know I should back and buy a ticket
Yes, but I'm afraid to take the chance
Oh, don't stop this train, conductor
Till this old state is out of sight
Yes, don't stop this train, conductor
Till Mississippi is out of sight
Well, you know I'm going to California
Where I, I know my baby will treat me right

I'm a pawnbroker
What do you want on your ring
I'm a pawnbroker

See like every woman I loaned
They want the same old thing
Have to use my tester
And see if will stand the test
Have to use my tester
And see if will stand the test

18 carat is OK
But 14 carat will make the grade
18 carat is OK

Don't have nothing but the best that's made
Yes, I'm a payin' pawnbroker
I pay the best price in town
Yes, I'm a payin' pawnbroker

Well, if you don't believe me
Baby, just lay your ring down
Yes, you may need money, baby
On your ring some day
Yes, you may need money, baby
On your ring some day
Well, you can't ever tell
What bad luck may come your way
