A Story Everybody Knows - B.B. King
Went to a party
The New York style
I met a lady
Make a sane man wild
She said the words only her lips could say
She made me want to throw my life away
But when I asked her
She said "Maybe tomorrow, B.B."
And that`s a story everybody knows
I took her flying
Out across the sea
I thought I had her
I know that she had me
And when we landed
It was Paris, France
Seemed like a nice place
For some French romance
But when I touched her
She said "Maybe a little later, B.B."
And that`s the story everybody knows
We went to Berlin
And to Stockholm too
And on the Moscow
Then to the Peking Zoo
As far as travel, she couldn`t get too much
Somewhere in Oakland
She let me have just a little touch
And then she said "I`m late for beautyappointment,
I`ve got a headache,
And I believe I`m coming down with the flu"
And that`s the story everybody knows
