Let Me Make You Cry A Little Longer — B. B. King

You know by now that I've been passed Through an awful lot of hands And all I have is what is left From ten thousand one night stands

Sometimes I feel like I was there When the blues began With this crying guitar holding me Like a woman holds a man

Let me make you cry a little longer Let me make you high a little longer Oh, I want to try a little longer Make some woman sigh a little longer

At night sometimes I can still feel Every place I've ever been I feel it in my music And it all comes back again

You know I've played for city lights And for stars above And every note I ever play I always play for love

Let me make you cry a little longer Let me make you high a little longer Oh, I want to try a little longer Make some woman sigh a little longer
