There Must Be a Better World Somewhere Songtext
von B.B. King with Dr. John

Sometime I wonder, just what I′m prayin' for?
I win the battle but I always lose the war
I just keep right on stumblin′ in this no-man land out there

But I know, yes I know
There must be a better world somewhere

Flyin' high, some joker clips my wings
Just because he gets a kick out of doing those kind of things
I keep on fallin' in space or just hangin′ in mid-air

But I know, yes, I know
There must be a better world somewhere

Everybody I know, only love themselves
Every woman I love, loves somebody else
Every woman got a license to break my heart
Every love affair is over before it gets a chance to start


Everybody I know, only love themselves
Every woman I love, loves somebody else
Every woman got a license to break my heart
Every love affair is over before it gets a chance to start

If it ain′t here, maybe in a year after
Instead of tears, I'll learn all about laughter
Meanwhile I′m stuck right here, Lord knows it just ain't fair

But I know, yes I know
There must be a better world somewhere

I know, I know, yes
(I know)
There′s gotta be a better world somewhere
(Better world somewhere)

I know, you know, they know
(I know, yes I do)
How come everybody else don't know?
There′s got to be a better world
No, there's got to be a better world somewhere
