A Story Everybody Knows

recording of 1979 
from 
Take It Home (MCA 11770) 
Went to a party, the New York style 
I met a lady, make a sane man wild 
She said the words only her lips could say 
She made me want to throw my life away 
But when I asked her, she said, "Maybe tomorrow, B.B." 
And that's a story everybody knows 
I took her flying, out across the sea 
I thought I had her, I know that she had me 
And when we landed, it was Paris, France 
Seemed like a nice place, for some French romance 
But when I touched her, she said, "Maybe a little later, B.B." 
And that's the story everybody knows 
We went to Berlin, and to Stockholm too 
And on the Moscow, then to the Peking Zoo 
As far as travel, she couldn't get too much 
Somewhere in Oakland, she let me have just a little touch 
And then she said, "I'm late for beauty appointment, 
I've got a headache, and I believe I'm coming down with the flu" 
And that's the story everybody knows
