Bright Lights Big City
(Jimmy Reed)

Bright lights big city
A-went to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
A-went to my baby's head

I tried to tell her, mama
But she wouldn't hear a word I said
So long, pretty baby
You're gonna need my help, someday
So long, pretty baby
You're gonna need my help, someday

Gonna wish you'd had a-listened
Somethin' that I have to say
Go on, pretty baby
An' knock yourself out
Go ahead, pretty baby
You don't know what love is all about

Bright lights, big city
A-went to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
A-went to my baby's head
Tried to tell her, mama
But she wouldn't hear a word I said

Bright lights, big city

A-went to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
A-went to my baby's head

Tried to tell her, mama
But she wouldn't hear a word I said
Go ahead, pretty baby
A-knock yourself out
Go on, pretty baby
You don't know what love is all about

Bright lights, big city
A-went to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Went to my baby's head
Tried to tell her, mama
But she wouldn't hear a word, that I said

Bright lights, a-big city went to my, baby's head

Aah, she warned me
Now listen, to what I heard
My mama said
FADES-
A-she want me
Right there, home in bed
Right here
