B. B. King lyrics
Album: Turn on to B.B. King [1966]
| Bad Luck Soul | |
|
I want to go home but I ain't got sufficient clothes
Doggone my bad luck soul
I ain't got no money and my job's done closed
I would call that old woman but I'm afraid that she may explode
My wife done quit me, my girlfriend too
Doggone my bad luck soul
I ain't got nobody and I don't know what to do
They say things will get better but I don't believe it's true
I thought I had friends but they all disappeared
Doggone my bad luck soul
Everything I do people, everything I do seems to be wrong
It wouldn't be so bad if I knew I had a home

| Shut Your Mouth | |
|
I work hard everyday
Do the same at night
But still my baby
Ain't treating me right
Tell me baby baby baby baby
What can I do?
Do I have to shut your mouth
Just to get along with you?
When I'm home at night
I can't read a book
Without you being huffed up
Giving me a dirty look
Tell me baby baby baby baby
What can I do?
Do I have to shut your mouth
Just to get along with you?
She's so jealous, man
Till it's a sin
She don't even trust me
Out with men
Tell me baby baby baby baby
What can I do?
Do I have to shut your mouth
Just to get along with you?

| Baby, Look at You | |
|
Well, baby, baby, baby look at you
Yes, I said baby, baby, baby, baby look at you
Well, you want to jump on me and hurt me
'Cos I won't let you tell me what to do
Well, when I first met you baby
You didn't know what love is about
You were standin' on the streets beggin'
And ragged as a barrel of sauerkraut
Baby, baby, baby look at you
Well now, you want to jump on me and hurt me
'Cos I won't let you tell me what to do
Well, you said once that you loved me
I would always be your own
And now you got your hands on some money, baby
And you're drivin' B.B. away from home
Well, you said that you loved me
I always would be your man
Now you thrown me outdoors
And said "Go and do the best you can"

| You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now | |
|
Oh, baby you done lost your good thing now
Oh, baby you done lost your good thing now
Well the way I used to love you baby
Baby that's the way I hate you now
You used to say that you loved me
But baby I believe you've changed your mind
You used to say that you loved me
But baby I believe you've changed your mind
Well I don't blame you baby
Because you ain't what you used to be
Let me love you just one more time
Yes let me love you just one more time anyway
Oh, let me love you, let me love you, let me love you
One more time baby
Let me love you just one more time anyway
Oh you can't quit me now baby
Because you didn't mean me no good anyway
Well you know where I'm from baby
So please don't try to mistreat me
Yes you know where I'm from baby
So please don't try to mistreat me
Yes because I'll make your mother a present
Baby of you and your casket too
Oh you once said you loved me
And you would do anything I said
Oh you once said you loved me baby
And you would do anything I said
Oh but the way you treat me now baby
I just soon rather be dead
Oh, baby you done lost your good thing now
Oh, baby you done lost your good thing now
The way I used to love you
Baby that's the way I hate you now

| 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

| Recession Blues | |
|
Since this recession I'm losing my baby,
because the times are getting so hard
Yes, since this recession I'm losing my baby,
because the times are getting so hard
Yes, I have to stop running around,
man, you know it's breaking my heart
Yes, I can't afford no liquor,
all I can buy is beer and wine
Yes, I can't afford no liquor people,
all I can buy is beer and wine
Well I can get my baby what she wants,
and she stays cross al the time, yes help me
Yes, please somebody,
please go out to Washington for me
Yes, please, please somebody,
please go out to Washington for me
Yes, think about us out here
help me get out of this misery
