Tonight I'm Gonna Make You A Star

by B.B. King Will Jennings recording of 1979 from Take It Home (MCA 11770) Tonight I'm gonna make you a star I'm gonna play you like my new guitar I'll put some polish on your strings I'll make you sing like an angel sings Lay back and love it baby stand up and shout 'Cuz tonight you'll see what bein' a star's all about One touch you tremble one more you'll moan I'll show you something you've never learned at home You'll see how good baby it all can be I'll show you everything you need to see I've got a feeling baby you'll go far 'Cuz tonight you'll see what bein' a star's all about I'm gonna rock you a little while And then we'll roll in a down-home style If it gets funky we won't mind We're gonna reach for whatever we can find You're gonna play all my favorite songs I'll show you right now where the beat belongs Come step aboard my midnight flight We're gonna ride babe till the mornin' light And when the tour is at the end We'll go back over everywhere we've been You got the message baby now answer the call Step into the spotlight and give it your all
