Never Make Your Move Too Soon Lyrics - 80 - B.b. King & Friends

Three days of snow in Birmingham 

Thought you would wonder where I am 

Rang our number all night long 

It's no comfort on the telephone 

Ran out and caught a midnight flight 

Thought a little love would make everything all right 

The landlord said, "You moved away" 

And left me all your bills to pay" 

Look out baby, you might have made your move too soon 

Left me with a Keno card 

This life in Vegas sure ain't hard 

I ran it up to about fifty grand 

Cashed it in and held it in my hand 

That kind of word can get around 

And make a lost love come up found 

I hear you knocking baby at my door 

But you know you ain't living here no more 

It's too bad 

I think you made your move too soon 

I've been from Spain to Tokyo 

From Africa to Ohio 

I never tried to make the news 

I'm just a man who plays the blues 

I take my lovin' everywhere 

I came back, and they still care you know 

One love ahead 

One love behind 

One in my arms and one on my mind 

It's one thing baby 

I never make my move too soon 

I've been from Spain to Tokyo 

From Africa to Ohio 

I never tried to make the news 

I'm just a man who plays the blues 

I take my lovin' everywhere 

I come back, you know they still all care 

One love ahead and one behind 

One in my arms you know, one on my mind 

And it's one thing people 

I never make my move too soon
