Let Me Make You Cry A Little Longer

B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. 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
