Never Make Your Move Too Soon

Never Make Your Move Too Soon - Ernestine Anderson

Three days of snow in Birmingham

Thought you would wonder where I am

Rang our number all night long

It's no comfort on the telephone

Ran out and caught a midnight flight

Thought a little love would make

Everything all right

The landlord said "You moved away"

And left me all your bills to pay"

Look out baby you might have made

A your move too soon

Left me with a Keno card

This life in Vegas sure ain't hard

I ran it up to about fifty grand

Cashed it in and held it in my hand

That kind of word can get around

And make a lost love come up found

I hear you knocking baby at my door

But you know you ain't living here no more

It's too bad

I think you made your move too soon

I've been from Spain to Tokyo

From Africa to Ohio

I never tried to make the news

I'm just a man who plays the blues

I take my lovin' everywhere

I came back and you know

They still care

One love ahead

One love behind

One in my arms and one on my mind

It's one thing baby

I never make my move too soon

One thing baby

I never make my move too soon
