Better Not Look Down

I've been around and I've 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't say if it's wrong or 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 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

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 of her life

If the arrows from Cupids 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

Is concealed 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 n 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

Better not look back or you might just wind up crying

You can keep it moving if you don't look down"
