Don't you know you can't love me and keep doing me
like you do
Don't you know you can't love me and keep doing me like you
do
How you expect me to love you, when I know you won't be
true
Didn't you think I was a fool dear, think I never would get
wise?
Oh, oh, oh think that I would never get wise
Did you know that someday darling, I would wake up and
realize?
They said time will tell, baby it sure did tell on you
Yes, time would tell, baby it sho' did tell on you
So I'm putting you down and I don't care what you do

Without a warning you broke my heart,
you took it darlin' and you tore it apart
You left me sitting in the dark, crying,
you said your love for me was dying
I'm begging you, baby, I'm begging you, please,
come on baby, come on please
I'm begging you baby, baby, please,
come on baby, baby, please
Turn on the light, let it shine on me,
turn on your love light, let it shine on me
Let it shine, shine, shine, let it shine
I got a little lonely in the middle of the night,
I need you darlin' to make things all right
A Little bit higher, just a little bit higher
__________
Note: one of eleven Top Ten list R&B hits of Bobby
Bland, "Turn On Your Love Light" went on to become an
R&B standard.

One day from the month, I first met you,
your promises proved to be untrue
Step by step, I've been a fool
That's why I'm two steps from the blues
Here is a chance to be loved or be lonely,
my heart awaits your call
I know it's better to have loved and lost,
than never have loved at all
The reason we didn't get along,
was telegram and telephone
One brings badness, the other rendevouz
That keeps me two steps from the blues
So darling let's try and make amends,
and if it should fail, let's try and try again
It makes no difference what you say or do,
I'm so forgiving, I'm so forgiving
I can't stand living two steps from the blues

Well listen to me baby, while I tell you a thing or
two
Yes, listen to me baby, while I tell you a thing or two
Well the way things is happening, baby, baby just won't
do
Well, you're the bad woman, don't mean no man no good
Yes, you're the bad, bad, bad woman, don't mean no man no
good
So I'm packin' up up my suitcase and endure like a wise man
should
Well I'm leavin' you baby, you endure the best you can
Yes, bye baby, babe, do the best you can
Well I'll find another woman, baby find another man

Well I'm standing at the wishing well, gazin' up at a
fallin' star
Well I'm standing at the wishin' well, gazing up at a
fallin' star
Well I wished I was an angel, so I can fly on wherever you
are
Well I can just see my pretty little self, floatin' around
up there all day long
Well I can just see my pretty little self, floatin' around
up there all day long
Well I can hear your sweet voice calling, fly on by me, fly
on a-home
Well baby
I know my flight will get a little rugged, but I'll make it
in on one wing and a prayer
Well I know my flight will get a little rugged, but I'll
make it in on one wing and a prayer
Well I can make it through any kind of weather, as long as I
know you'll be waiting there
Well

Ooo-we-baby, I had a real bad dream last night
Yeah, baby, I had a real bad dream last night
It started 'bout four this mornin' and It last 'till broad
day light
Well I tossed and tumbled baby, Lord, until the crack of
dawn
Yeah I-I-I tossed 'till the crack of dawn
Then I woke up screamin', 'cause I dreamed that you had
gone
I put my hand on your pillow
To see if ev'thing was still okay
But I should have known baby
You were gone to stay
I woke up screamin'
And I'm still in misery
And I'll keep right on screamin'
'Till you come back home to me, yeah
Woo! oh oh! Alright baby!
I put my hand on your pillow
To see if ev'thing was still okay
But I should have known baby
You were gone-on-on-on-on
I woke up screamin'
And I'm still in misery
And I'll keep right on screamin'
'Till you've come back home to me
Ah, ah, ah

Soft tears that I shed for you,
the little favors that I love to do
The quick response to your every call,
oh darling, you're worth it all
The lonely nights leave me so blue,
the little white lies you know aren't true
I know I'm heading for a fall,
but oh darling, oh darling, yeah, you're worth it all
All the pain that I must bear,
and all the gray that's in my hear
And all the heartaches I can recall,
but oh darling, you're worth it all

Well, you can send me a telegram,
call me on the phone
I jump on the highest mountain,
before I let you come back home
You've got bad intentions baby,
woman, you ain't got the right thing to mine
Yeah, you left me for the last time,
woman, you know I ain't lyin'
Well, you can make my front bell,
knock on my back door
Don't come in this house,
'cause you don't live here no more
You've got bad intentions baby,
woman, you ain't got the right thing to mine
Yeah, you left me for the last time,
woman, you know I ain't lyin'
You can holler, cry and scream,
till your face turn blue
Get on your knees and crawl,
woman, that won't help you
You've got bad intentions baby,
woman, you ain't got the right thing to mine
Yeah
Well, you say you can't go on living,
if you can't be by my side
Gonna send you a bottle of poison,
please commit suicide
You've got bad intentions baby,
woman, you ain't got the right thing to mine

Well another cold day in August
Ain't never gonna walk down main
'Fore I let another woman
Hold on to my tremblin' hand
You did me wrong
Well you did me wrong
Well you did me wrong baby
That's why I'm singin' this song
Well I'll never fall in love again
If I should live three hundred years
I'll never give my heart to another woman
No matter who she is
You did me wrong
Well you did me wrong
Well you did me wrong baby
That's why I'm singin' this song
Well
Well I used to hold that woman's hand
Beggin' her not to go
If I should live two hundred years
I won't do that no more
You did me wrong
Hmm, you did me wrong
Well you did me wrong baby
That's why I'm singin' this song
Well there'll be a hot day in January
A dog will sing tenderly
Before I let another woman
Make a doggone fool of me
You did me wrong
Yeah you did me wrong
Well you did me wrong baby
That's why I'm singin' this song
Well

Well you've got me
Where you want me
And I hope you are satisfied
You said you'd never leave me
Before you did, you said you would die
Well you got me, got me, got me
Where you want me baby
And I hope pretty baby you're satisfied
You said you'd always love me
And you said you would always be true
But I found you with another
And it made me feel so blue
Well you've got me, got me, got me
Where you want me
And I hope pretty baby you're satisfied
Well baby
You've got me where you want me
And I hope you are satisfied
Ooo ooo baby
Well you've got me where you want me
And I hope you, hope you are satisfied
You said, you said, you said
You never would leave me
Before you did, you said you would die
Oh you got me, got me, got me where you want me baby
And I hope pretty baby you're satisfied
Ooo ooo baby
Fading:
I'm down on my knees baby
I guess you got me where you want me
