B.B. Boogie
B.B. King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

B.B. Boogie darlin', the B.B. Boogie baby
Do the B.B. Boogie, if it takes you all night long

Well, I looked at the clock, the clock said four
My baby jumped up, she said, "B, let's go"

Do the B.B. Boogie baby, B.B. Boogie darlin'
Do the B.B. Boogie, if it takes you all night long

Grabbed my baby, turned her round and round
She said, "B's the boogiest man in town"

The B.B. Boogie darlin', B.B. Boogie baby
Do the B.B. Boogie, if it takes you all night long

I grabbed my baby and I held her tight
Me and my baby do the boogie all night

The B.B. Boogie darlin', B.B. Boogie baby
Do the B.B. Boogie, if it takes you all night long

I grabbed my baby and I held her tight
She said, "Love me baby and squeeze me tight"

The B.B. Boogie, B.B. Boogie darlin'
B.B. Boogie, if it takes you all night long

on Always On My Mind

Here's BB King's Version - Lyrics

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I should have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I could have

If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
That I am so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
ou were always on my mind

If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied

Musical Interlude

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied
