The Beginning Of The End
by 
B.B. King 
Will Jennings 
recording of 1979 
from 
Take It Home (MCA 11770) 
When I first met you we burned like a flame 
Now it's gettin' colder and you know that's a same 
Love's out there somewhere but you know it won't come in 
So let's remember baby how sweet all this has been 
But when two real good lovers start bein' real good friends 
You know that's the beginning of the end 
I make you sparkle like strawberry wine 
And when I felt bad you make me feel fine 
Oh it's good when it's goin' and gone when it's gone 
We both know enough to leave well enough alone 
When two real good lovers start bein' real good friends 
Baby can't you see that's the beginning of the end 
The cool of the morning the heat of the night 
The loving was good (but you know) it just wasn't right 
Someday when you wake up and call out my name 
Don't feel bad about it I'll probably do the same 
But when two real good lovers start bein' real good friends 
Baby don't ya know that's the beginning of the end
