My woman’s been accusing me
Of stepping out
Jealous rumors have her mind filled
With so much doubt
And I’ve gotta convince her
I’m not doing her wrong
Before she leaves me
Sad and all alone
So when the clock hits five
I’ll be gone
There’s a matter
That I’m gonna settle later on
So if the boss man talks
About overtime
I’m just gonna smile
and pay him no mind
I’ve got business with my baby tonight
We’re gonna talk things over
And make things right
‘Cause I couldn’t sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I’ve got business with my baby tonight
We’ll go out to dinner
At our favorite restaurant
I’ll hold her hand
And tell her she’s all I’ll ever want
When we get home
I’ll take her straight to paradise
And we’ll still be loving
Till the morning light
I’ve got business with my baby tonight
We’re gonna talk things over
And make things right
‘Cause I couldn’t sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I’ve got business with my baby tonight
Now don’t you start talking
About gossip or news
I’m warning you now
I’ll put on my walking shoes
‘Cause to me nothing in this world
Is a big deal
When it’s compared to the way
She makes me feel, all right
I’ve got business with my baby tonight
We’re gonna talk things over
And make things right
‘Cause I couldn’t sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I’ve got business with my baby tonight
B.B.’s got business tonight
We’re gotta talk things over
And make things right
‘Cause I couldn’t sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I’ve got business with my baby tonight
You broke your promise, baby
You dont love, honor or obey
You wont do nothing i tell you
You go on mistreating me everyday
Youre hardly acting your part, baby
You wont do nothing the preacher says
You dont love me, baby
You dont even wish me well
Honors just a joke with you, baby
You dont love me, i can tell
Married life with you, baby
Id rather be living in a cell
You deceive me, baby
You use me like a child
You tricked me into loving you, baby
I was loving you all the while
You played with my heart, baby
I said i was loving you all the while
You’re breaking my heart, baby
There ain’t a damn thing I can do
You got me wringing my hands
And crying, baby
While you’re breaking my heart in two
You know I just can’t believe
I can’t believe, baby
That you’re doing the things you do
I can’t believe, baby
I can’t believe you would do me wrong
Please have mercy on me, baby
I want you to come on back
Come on back where you belong
I want you so bad
I want you so bad, baby
You know I need my lady home
Blues stay away from me
Oh blues, what don’t you let me be
Don’t know why
You keep on haunting me
Love never meant for me
Oh true love was never meant for me
Seem somehow
We never can agree
Life is full of misery
Oh dreams are like memories
Bringing back
The love that used to be
Tears, so many I can’t see
Oh yes, don’t mean a thing to me
Oh, don’t go by
Still I can be free
I’ve traveled for miles around
Seems like everybody wanna put me down
Because I’m a bluesman
But I’m a good man, understand
I went down to the bus station
Look upon the wall
My money is to light people
Couldn’t go no where at all
I’m a bluesman
But I’m a good man, understand
The burden that I carry, oh is so heavy
It seems like ain’t nobody in this great big world
That would wanna, wanna help old B.
Hey, but I’ll, I would be all right people
Just give me a break, good things come
The those wait, and I’ve waited a long time
I’m a bluesman
But I’m a good man, understand
