There's Something On Your Mind

B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. King

I know there is something on your mind

I can tell by the way you look at me

I know there is something on your mind, baby

By the way you look at me



But I'm wondering if you're gonna

Bring me happiness, darling

Oh, if you're gonna bring me misery



No, you don't have to tell me

Because I think I understand

No, no, you don't have to tell me nothing, darling

Because I think I understand



You want me to try and forget you

Lord, I'll do the best I can



No, you don't have to tell me

Because I think I understand

No, no, you don't have to tell me nothing, baby

Because I think I understand



You want me to try and forget you

Lord, I'll do the best I can

There's Something On Your Mind
