B. B. King lyrics
Album: To Know You Is to Love You [1973]
| I Like to Live the Love | |
|
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

| Who Are You | |
|
We've met before
In the same room of my imagination
And it gets so hard to deal with
Out strike temptation, yes it does
Yesterday in my mind
You were here but now we've parted
You need to come on back
And finish what we started, oh baby
I need to know
Who are you
And where did you come from
(Where did you come from, baby)
Who are you gonna give yourself to
And what are your plans
Tell me, baby
(I've really got to know now)
Who are you
And where are you going
Will you give yourself to me
Or some other man
I got to know, baby
You started what I thought
You intended to finish
You were right here yesterday
But today you vanished
When I woke up something told me
That I had been used
But I liked it
And when I couldn't find you
Lord, it gave me the blues
Now I really need to know
Who are you
And where did you come from
(And where did you come from, baby)
Who are you gonna give yourself to
Baby, what are your plans
Tell me, girl
Who are you
And where are we going
Will you give yourself to me
Or some other man, baby
Who are you, baby, who are you
Who are you, baby, who are you
I'd really like to know about you, baby
Who are you, baby
Where are we going
Where did you come from, baby . . .

| To Know You Is to Love You | |
|
To know you is to love you
But to know me is not that way, you see
'Cause you made me so happy
That my love for you grows endlessly
When I'm down and feeling sad
You always comfort me
When I'm down and feeling sad
You always comfort me
Baby, to know you is to love you
You smile when I see your face
'Cause there ain't no one on this earth
Baby, could ever, ever take your place
When I'm down and feeling sad
You always comfort me
When I'm down and feeling sad
You always comfort me
Oh to know you is to love you
Is to see you being free as the wind
'Cause the power of your loving
Is too strong to hold within
To know you is to love you
To see you blowing free in the breeze
The power of your loving
I never found a woman like you
That could be my lover
And my best friend
I know you and I think I love you
I know you and I think I love you
I know you and can't you feel our love
Just growing, growing, growing
Growing, growing, growing
Hey, I know you and I think I love you
I know you and I think I love you
I know you and can't you feel our love
Just growing, growing, growing
Growing, growing, doggone it, baby
I know you and I think I love you
I know you and I think I love you
I know you and can't you feel our love
Just growing, growing, growing
Growing, growing, hey doggone it, baby
I know you and I think I love you
I know you and I think I love you
And I think you love me, too
Mm baby, I know you
