I've been around and I've seen some things   People moving faster than the speed of sound   Faster than the speeding bullet people living like Superman   All day and all night and I won't say if it's wrong or if it's right   I'm pretty fast myself but I do have some advice to pass along   Right here in the words of this song      You better not look down if you want to keep on flying   Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead   You better not look back or you might just wind up crying   You can keep it moving if you don't look down      An old girl friend of mine showed up the other day   That girl had lived in love and for love   And over love, and under love all her life   If the arrows from cupids bow that had   Passed through her heart had been sticking      Out of her body she would have looked like   A porcupine, and she asked me   ?B.B. do you think I've lived my life all wrong??   And I said, ?The only advice I have to pass   Along is concealed in the chorus of this song?      Girl, better not look down if you want to keep on flying   Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead   Better not look back or you might just wind up crying   You can keep it moving if you don't look down      I was walking down the street at sunrise one morning   In London, England   And there was a very large Rolls Royce Limousine   Pulling slowly along the street      And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England   Looking tired, just got back from a party   And the Queen leaned out and she said, ?Aren't you B.B. King??   She said, ?Oh B.B., sometimes it's so hard to pull things together   Could you tell me what you think I ought to do?? And I said      ?You better not look down if you want to keep on flying   Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead   Better not look back or you might just wind up crying   You can keep it moving if you don't look down?      You better not look down if you want to keep on flying   Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead   You better not look back or you might just wind up crying   You can keep it moving if you don't look down      You better not look down if you want to keep on flying   Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead
