B.B. King › Lyrics › When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer

When my heart starts to beat like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears
Oh, when my heart starts to beat like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears
You know you've only been gone 24 hours, baby
And baby, it seems like a million years

Now if I ever mistreated you, baby
You know I didn't mean no harm
Oh, if I ever mistreated you, baby
God knows, I didn't mean no harm
You know I'm just a little country boy, baby
And I was raised right down on the cotton farm

Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby
Baby, I don't know what to do
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby
Baby, I don't know I don't know what to do
I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing now, baby
Baby, it's all over and it's all on account of you
