B. B. King - My Heart Belongs To You lyrics

room 8 the invite says

come and surpise you're oldest friend

the door's ajar, what's behind

in room 8, room 8, room 8

cards are found in boxes there

welcome me in to the earthly air

a baby girl named Jennifer

born here, born here, in room 8

lock the car

tremble and shake

baby the call was just a fake

but there she is spotted through rain

jennifer she calls your name

on the bed, hip displaced

broken nose and a toothless face

but she's alive, she's awake

in room 8, room 8, room 8

and she whispers,

we're still working full-time for love underpaid, overworked, uninsured

we'll work gladly with our hands, we'll take off our gloves

'til it's only love - 'til love remains

in room 8, room 8, room 8

I've never felt this pain before

doubled over the motel floor

the ambulance it pulls away

with only tears as my alibi

but i'm still workin' full-time for love 9 to 5, weekends, and holidays

don't lay me off with severence pay

work me 'til I'm enslaved

by your elusive ways, invisible of

in room 8, room 8, room 8
