(Jimmy Reed)



Bright lights big city

A-went to my baby's head

Bright lights, big city

A-went to my baby's head



I tried to tell her, mama

But she wouldn't hear a word I said

So long, pretty baby

You're gonna need my help, someday

So long, pretty baby

You're gonna need my help, someday



Gonna wish you'd had a-listened

Somethin' that I have to say

Go on, pretty baby

An' knock yourself out

Go ahead, pretty baby

You don't know what love is all about



Bright lights, big city

A-went to my baby's head

Bright lights, big city

A-went to my baby's head

Tried to tell her, mama

But she wouldn't hear a word I said



Bright lights, big city

A-went to my baby's head

Bright lights, big city

A-went to my baby's head



Tried to tell her, mama

But she wouldn't hear a word I said

Go ahead, pretty baby

A-knock yourself out

Go on, pretty baby

You don't know what love is all about



Bright lights, big city

A-went to my baby's head

Bright lights, big city

Went to my baby's head

Tried to tell her, mama

But she wouldn't hear a word, that I said



Bright lights, a-big city went to my, baby's head



Aah, she warned me

Now listen, to what I heard

My mama said

FADES-

A-she want me

Right there, home in bed

Right here
