<< Better Not Look Down >>
|
--- B.B. King
|
|
Iīve been around and Iīve 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 wonīt say if itīs wrong or if itīs right
|
Iīm 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 donīt 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 cupidīs 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 Iīve 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 donīt 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: Arenīt you B.B. King? She said:
|
Oh B.B., sometimes itīs 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 donīt look down
|
|
