B.B. King - Beware, Brother, Beware Lyrics
Hey, fellas, yes, you, fellas, listen to me, I got something to tell youAnd I want you to listen to every word and govern yourselves accordinglyNow, you see these girls with these fine diamonds, fine furs and fine clothesWell, theyre looking for a husband and youre listening to a man who knowsThey aint foolin, and if you fool around with themYoure gonna get yourself in a schoolinListen, if she saves you dough, and wont go to the showBewareIf shes easy to kiss and wont resistBewareAnd if you go for a walk, and she listens while you talkShes tryin to hook youAnd nobodys lookin and she asks you to taste her cookinDont do it, dont do itAnd if you go to a show and she wants to sit in the back rowBring her down front, bring her right down frontIf you wanna go for a snack, and she wants to sit in the booth in the backBewareAnd listen, if shes used to caviar and fine silkWhen you go out with her she wanna a hot dog and a malted milkShes trying to get youIf youre used to goin to carnegie hall, but when you take her out night clubingAll she wants is one meatballYou better take it easyIf she grabs your hand and says, darling, youre such a nice manBeware, Im telling you(should I tell them no more? )(tell them everything)You better listen to me cause Im telling you whats being put downYou better pick up on itIf her sister calls your brother, you better get furtherIm telling you, you better watch itAnd if shes acting kind of wild, and she says, darling, give me a trialDont you do it, dont be weak, dont give it to herAnd if she smiles in your face and just melts into placeLet her melt, forget it, let her melt(should I tell them no more? )(tell them everything)Now listen, if she calls you up on the phone, and says,Darling, are you all alone?Tell her, no, no, Ive got two, three women with meDont pay no attention to womenStand up for your right, be a man, be a man(are you listening? )If you turn out the lights and she dont fightThats the end, its too lateShes got you hooked, you might as well stick with her(should I tell them no more? )If you get home about two and dont know what to doYou pull back the curtains, and the whole familys looking at youGet your business straightSet the date, dont be lateBrother, beware, beware, bewareBrother, you better beware
