Everything I Do Is Wrong
B.B. King · Do Boogie [2004]
Well, we can't get along no matter what I do
Yes, everything I do is wrong, no matter what I do
Well, let's make it up, baby, try it just one more time
Well, let's make it up, baby, try it just one more time
Well, if we don't get together, baby, won't be no fault of mine
Lay it down, alright then
Well, it's been a long time, baby, but it's all over now
Oh, I'd been a long time, baby, baby, but it's all over now
Oh, we can't get together, baby, you were no good no how
