I Like
Bobby Blue Bland & BB King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

When I was a kid and blues would be playing in the house I would tell my mom I didn't like it. She told me "You will, you haven't lived long enough." She was dead right!!!! I can listen all day sometimes and never miss a blues fest. Two of my favorites!
