Better Not Look Down - Single Version
I've been around,
and I've seen some things
People moving faster that the speed of sound
faster than a speeding bullet.
People living like Superman,
all day and all night.
And I won't say if it's wrong,
or I won't say if it's right
I'm pretty fast myself.
But I do have some advice to pass along
right here in the words of this song.
You better not look down,
if you wanna keep on flying.
Put the hammer down,
keep it full speed ahead.
You better not look back,
or you might just wind up crying,
you can keep it moving
if you don't look back!
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 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:
You better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead
You better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don't look down!
You better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead
You better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don't look down!
and I've seen some things
People moving faster that the speed of sound
faster than a speeding bullet.
People living like Superman,
all day and all night.
And I won't say if it's wrong,
or I won't say if it's right
I'm pretty fast myself.
But I do have some advice to pass along
right here in the words of this song.
You better not look down,
if you wanna keep on flying.
Put the hammer down,
keep it full speed ahead.
You better not look back,
or you might just wind up crying,
you can keep it moving
if you don't look back!
