Text: B.B. King. Heart to Heart. No One Ever Tells You.

No one ever tells you what it's like to love and lose
How it feels to waken and have breakfast with the blues
How to go on living, how to face another day
No one ever tells you the way

No one ever tells you how it feels to walk alone
Listening for those footsteps through the echo of your own
Suddenly it hits you all those dreams weren't worth a dime
'Cause no one ever tells you in time

Long before the icy winds of winter
Autumn tells the swallows, time to fly
Why did she pretend till the bitter end
Till it broke my heart to say goodbye

No one ever tells you that it's just another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sing
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war
But no one ever tells you before

No one ever tells you that it's just another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war

But no one ever tells you before
It never comes easy, no one ever tells you before
