B. B. King lyrics
Album: Lucille Talks Back [1975]
| Gambler's Blues | |
|
I don't know what love is
But I think I must have it bad
Yeah, you know I don't know what love is people
Whoah, but I think I must have it bad
Yeah, you know some people say love is just a gamble
But whatever it is, it's enough to drive old B. mad
They say love is just a proposition people
It's strictly a game of give and take
Yeah, they tell me love, love, love is a proposition people
They say it's strictly a game of give and take
Whoah, but my woman took all I gave her
And I'm here to tell to you that love proposition stuff's a fake
Oh, I don't claim to be no gambler people
Oh, I don't' know much about the dice
Yes, I don't claim to be no gambler people
I tell you I don't know much about the dice
Oh, but I wait and my baby knows
She knows I'm not the kind who's gonna crap out twice
Yes, she left me early this mornin'
I don't know the reason why
She just got up early this mornin'
Didn't even say good-bye
But I love you, I love you, you know I love you baby
Although you made me cry
Yes, there are a lot of women who want me
Oh, but how you satisfy

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

| 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
