(i'd be) a legend in my time

Singer:b.b. king

if heartaches brought fame

in love's crazy game

i'd be a legend in my time

if they gave gold statuettes

for tears and regrets

i'd be a legend in my time

but they don't give awards

and there's no praise or fame

for a heart that's been broken

over love that's in vain

if loneliness meant world acclaim

then everyone would know my name

i'd be a legend in my time

but they don't give awards

and there's no praise or fame

for a heart that's been broken

over love that's in vain

if loneliness meant world acclaim

then everyone would know my name

i'd be a legend in my time

i'd be a legend in my time
