I?e been around and I?e seen some things 
People moving faster than the speed of sound 
Faster than the speeding bullet 
People living like Superman 
All day and all night 
And I won? say if it? wrong or if it? right 
I? pretty fast myself 
But I do have some advice to pass along 
Along in the chorus of this song 

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? look down 

An old girl friend of mine showed up the other day 
That girl have lived in love and for love 
And over love, and under love all her life 
If the arrows from cupid? 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?e lived my life all wrong? 
And I said: The only advice I have to pass 
Along 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? 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 go back from a party, and the Queen leaned out and 
She said: Aren? you B.B. King? She said: 
Oh B.B., sometimes it? so hard to pull things together 
Could you tell me what you think I ought to do? 
And I said: 

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? look down
