let me make you cry a little longer

Bb King

You know by now that i've been passed
Through an awful lot of hands
And all i have is what is left
From ten thousand one night stands

Sometimes i feel like i was there
When the blues began
With this crying guitar holding me
Like a woman holds a man

Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you high a little longer
Oh, i want to try a little longer
Make some woman sigh a little longer

At night sometimes i can still feel
Every place i've ever been
I feel it in my music
And it all comes back again

You know i've played for city lights
And for stars above
And every note i ever play
I always play for love

Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you high a little longer
Oh, i want to try a little longer
Make some woman sigh a little longer
