|
I'v been around and I'v 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 won'tsay if it'swrong or if it'sright |
|
I'l 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 don't 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 cupid's 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 I've 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 don't 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: Aren't you B.B. King? She said: |
|
Oh B.B., sometimes it's 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 don't look down |
