Lyrics B.B. King – The World Is Gone Wrong

Strange things have happened,
Like never happened before.
My baby told me
I would have to go.

Feel bad this morning,
Ain’t got no home.
No use to worry,
‘Cause the whole world is goin’ wrong,
I can’t be good no more,
Once like I did before.
I can’t be good no more, baby,
Honey, because the world is goin’ wrong.

I told you, baby,
Right to your head,
If I didn’t leave you
I would have to kill you dead.
I can’t be good no more,
Once like I did before.
I can’t be good no more, baby,
Honey, because the world is goin’ wrong.

If you have a woman
And she won’t be kind,
Praise to the Good Lord
To get her off of your mind.
I can’t be good no more,
Once like I did before.

When you’ve been good,
You can’t do no more,
Just tell her kindly,
«There’s the front door.»
I can’t be good no more,
Once like I did before.
I can’t be good no more, baby,
Honey, ’cause the world is goin’ wrong.

Just pack up my suitcase,
And give me my hat,
I ain’t no need to ask you, love
I ain’t coming back.
I can’t be good no more,
Honey, like I once did before.
I can’t be good no more, baby,
Honey, ’cause the world is goin’ wrong.
