B. B. King - Freedom lyrics

(It's the Ridaz)

[Chorus:]

I been hurt before

'cause he took my everything

that I ever loved

he took away my wings

so if you want me now

you gotta promise me

that you'll never be

the one who damaged me

All I wanna do is be with you

I'll promise you the world if you're my girl

waste no time to make you mine

damn pretty girl, you're lookin' fine

movin' too fast, let's take it slow

baby girl, I love you so

tell me what you wanna do

I'm real when I say I'm here for you

let me love you, let me kiss you

sexy body, damn I need you

now you know just how I feel

ask myself, are you for real?

my heart awaits your warm embrace

can't wait to see your lovely face

come on girl, let's get together

silly, you're just mad forever

[Chorus:]

I been hurt before

'cause he took my everything

that I ever loved

he took away my wings

so if you want me now

you gotta promise me

that you'll never be

the one who damaged me

Now I don't blame you

we've all had our heartaches

lovin' with good times

but that don't mean that I call it quits

with everybody you meet

believe me, I know

I been there

and done that

been through what you felt

I've tasted my pain also

but that don't mean love ain't out there for us to have it

to hold somebody close again

I know its hard but

there's a lot more smiles than tears, girl

too many good times for us

to think about those bad years

[Chorus:]

I been hurt before

'cause he took my everything

that I ever loved

he took away my wings

so if you want me now

you gotta promise me

that you'll never be

the one who damaged me

(Why won't you let me?)

You know that I can't

(Why won't you believe me?)

I heard it before

he told me he loved me

looked into my eyes

and I was so stupid

I trusted his lies

I promise I never, ever make you cry

You got me so twisted

For you I will die

Too many chances

(You gotta trust me)

It's always the same

(Then why you blame it on me?)

(Cold Chamber)
