Better Not Look Down

I've been around and I've seen some things
People moving faster than the speed of sound
Faster than a speeding bullet
People living like Superman, all day and all night

And I won't say if it's wrong, or I won't say if it's right
I'm pretty fast myself
But I do have some advice to pass along
Right here in the words of this song

You better not look down
If you wanna keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead

You better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don't look back

An old girlfriend of mine showed up the other day
That girl have lived in love and for love
And over love, and under love all of her life
If the arrows from Cupid's bow that had passed through her heart
Had been sticking out of her body, she would have looked like a porcupine

And she asked me, "B.B.
Do you think I've lived my life all wrong?"
And I said, "The only advice I have to pass along
Is concealed in the chorus of this song"

Girl, better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead

Better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don't look down

I was walking down the street at sunrise one morning
In London, England
And there was a very large Rolls-Royce limousine
Pulling slowly along the street

And in that Rolls-Royce was the Queen of England
Looking tired, just got back from a party
And the Queen leaned out and she said, "Aren't you B.B. King?"
She said, "Oh, B.B., sometimes it's so hard to pull things together"
Could you tell me what you think I ought to do? And I said

You better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead

You better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don't look down

You better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead

You better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don't look down

You better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead
