The Beginning of the End Songtext
von B.B. King

When I first met you, we burned like a flame
Now it′s gettin' colder, and you know that′s a same
Love's out there somewhere, but it won't come in
So let′s remember, baby, how sweet all this has been

But when two real good lovers start bein′ real good friends
Can't you see that′s the beginning of the end?


I make you sparkle, like strawberry wine
And when I felt bad, you make me feel fine
Oh, it's good when it′s goin' and gone when it′s gone
We both know enough to leave well enough alone

When two real good lovers start bein' real good friends
Baby, can't you see that′s the beginning of the end?

The cool of the morning, the heat of the night
The loving was good, but you know it just wasn′t right
Someday when you wake up and call out my name
Don't feel bad about it, I′ll probably do the same

But when two real good lovers start bein' real good friends
Baby, don′t you know that's the beginning, beginning of the end?
