I'm Bobby "B"

Bobby had already said that we should pick up the tempo a little bit

But until I can get my throat together here, I think I'll try

Take your time

Thank you

Some people say that the kind of blues when you're playing

The kind that we're getting into now are slick blues

And I don't think so, I just think they're telling it like it is

So I wanna talk to you for just a minute as well as play a little bit

My boss, Mob, told me a while ago that if I

Wanted to talk a little, it was alright, so

Say anything you wanna say, son

Oh, thank you, and my other boss, Bobby Bland, says it's okay

I'm behind you, I told you, say anything you want, son

So what I wanna talk about

What?

People, like Bobby Bland, for instance

You see, some people have a person that they've been with for

A long time and, and they really don't wanna get rid of them

They just wanna jack 'em up a little bit

You know, make 'em do a little better

You're talking good, son, talk up

Can I tell 'em some more?

Yeah, talk good

So for some reason or another, they're afraid to tell 'em bye

'Cause they really don't wanna get rid of 'em

But then there is, I figured there might be somebody

In the audience that is trying to get rid of somebody

Uh-huh, yeah

So I'm gonna say a few words that you might would wanna say to yours

So if you're sitting close to yours, slide up a little closer

You might even give 'em a little drink of whatever you're drinking

And if I say the right words, just look '

Em straight in the eyes, but don't stare at 'em

Or if you're holding their hands, squeeze

Their hand a little bit, you know, like that

Now, if you didn't bring yours with you, shame on you

Don't grab nobody else

If you couldn't borrow nobody else, then you're in bad shape

Just watch the nearest couple next to you

And here's what you say to 'em, I think we're about ready now, Sonny

Yeah

If you can't do no better, baby

Well?

Babe, I think I'd better try to find me somebody else that can

Hey, if you can't do no better, baby

Babe, I think I'd better try to find me somebody else that can

Oh, because the way you treat me now, baby

You ain't doing nothing but losing a good man

You see, life is too short to be worried, baby

Say it again

And I think you're old enough to understand

Oh, life is too short to be worried, baby

And I think you're old enough to understand

The way you treat me, baby

You ain't doing nothing but losing a good man

We thank you

We're almost through with it now, so I just

Wanna give a little bit of warning to the fellas

If you're a fella and that happened to

You, it ain't but one thing to do then

Go on over to mother's

Yeah

Because that's where she's at

I don't know about that

Yeah, that's where she's going, ain't nobody else got her

But I wouldn't trust you, though, Bobby, you know

You and I like the same type of ladies

Yeah, no, no, yeah, no, yeah

But when you get over to mother's, kick the door down

And soon as you kick the door down, fall down on your knees

What?

Fall on your knees

What?

And when you look up, look up in a praying position

And you look straight at her and you say

"Baby, I'm sorry"

While they're trying to figure out what just happened

Say it again and you say it softly

"Sorry"

What?

You just go ahead and you tell her

"I'm sorry"

And you get real sexy like Bobby Bland and you say it

"Sorry"

How you say it then?

Like this

"I'm sorry"

I didn't hear you good, say it again

(And I'm sorry, baby)

And then when you hear this noise behind you

You know that's dad

And where there's dads, usually there are sons

You know they already mad at you anyway

But you know what they say

That ladies are tender-hearted, you know (Uh-huh)

So you say it again

"Baby, I'm sorry!"

And then you let the tears start to fallin'

And as that noise get a little closer to you

Just fall all out on the floor and start kickin' then

"Baby, can't you see I'm sorry?"

I can't hear you, Bob

(I'm sorry, baby)

Just go ahead and do your act, you know

(I'm sorry)

And then you say, um

(I'm sorry, baby)

A little louder, B

(Sorry)

Ha, that's the way you call her

(Sorry)

You know how, when you get in there

(Sorry)

Haha, say it again

(Sorry)

No, I'm sorry

(Baby, you know I'm sorry)

Yeah, yeah

(Sorry)

Everybody, come on

(Sorry)

Oh, Lord

(Sorry)

Every single night

(Sorry)

When I

(Sorry)

Oh, Lord

(Sorry)

Oh, I'm sorry

(Sorry)

Oh, Lord, I'm sorry

Say it again

Alright, alright (Yeah, I guess so)

I believe everybody is sorry

For whatever you did, you sorry about it

So anyway, you see, what I was startin' to say

If it's a lady, when she cry

Somebody will usually say

"Call the doctor, call somebody, please, to come help this child"

(Sorry)

But you see, if a, if a dude start to cryin'

(Sorry)

Any time a dude cries, you know what they say

"Call the police, call somebody to come get this fool"

(Sorry)

But you just keep on doin' your act

So just before I leave, Bobby (Yeah)

If you messed up this weekend

If any of you people in the audience messed up this weekend

And didn't do what you were supposed to do

Now is your time to say

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

One more time, Bobby

Baby, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, yeah
