May I Have A Talk With You
B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. King
Now now, my darling
Can I have a little talk with you
Oh now now now now, darling
Can I have a little talk with you
You know I don't think it will be long
Before our love is through
Yes, tell me, darling
Am I right or am I wrong
Oh tell me, tell me, tell me
Am I right or am I wrong
I just wanna know, baby
When are you coming home
Hey, listen to me, baby
While I hold your hand
Hey, listen to me, baby
While I hold your hand
Don't want nothing
I just wanna be your man
When darkness falls
I'm so all alone
Yes, yes, my darling
I'm so all alone
And you know I wouldn't be, baby
If I knew when you were coming home
Hey, listen to me, baby
Honey, while I hold your hand
Hey, I want you to listen to me, baby
Honey, while I hold your hand
I don't want nothing
I just wanna be your man
Your smiles are my happiness
Your sorrow are my tears
Oh your smiles are my happiness
And your sorrow are my tears
If you just whisper love to me, baby
You know it'll live on through the years
Yes, it will
Can I have a little talk with you
Oh now now now now, darling
Can I have a little talk with you
You know I don't think it will be long
Before our love is through
Yes, tell me, darling
Am I right or am I wrong
Oh tell me, tell me, tell me
Am I right or am I wrong
I just wanna know, baby
When are you coming home
Hey, listen to me, baby
While I hold your hand
Hey, listen to me, baby
While I hold your hand
Don't want nothing
I just wanna be your man
When darkness falls
I'm so all alone
Yes, yes, my darling
I'm so all alone
And you know I wouldn't be, baby
If I knew when you were coming home
Hey, listen to me, baby
Honey, while I hold your hand
Hey, I want you to listen to me, baby
Honey, while I hold your hand
I don't want nothing
I just wanna be your man
Your smiles are my happiness
Your sorrow are my tears
Oh your smiles are my happiness
And your sorrow are my tears
If you just whisper love to me, baby
You know it'll live on through the years
Yes, it will
