Lyrics:
I wish, I wish, I wish I liked you better, but I don’t
It’s just a kiss, a kiss, a kiss, we ain’t together, and I won’t
Bend all the rules for you, won’t call you in a day or two Uh-huh
Won’t let you know it bothers me to feel this aching jealousy, whatcha do to me
You Better, You better, you better, you better be lonely, and hungry for my touch
You Better, You better, You better, You better be lonely, when I come for your love
I’ve got the key, the key, the key, to lock you down, won’t lock you up
You’re so free, so free, so free to run around, but I don’t trust
Don’t trust you not to break my heart, not be exactly what you are, uh-huh
Don’t wanna cross this line for you, I know it’s gonna happen soon, and you know it too
You Better, You better, you better, you better be lonely, and hungry for my touch
You Better, You better, You better, You better be lonely, when I come for your love
You better, you better, you better, you better be lonely, and hungry for my touch
You better, you better, you better, you better be lonely when I come for your love
You better, you better, you better, you better be lonely, and never get enough
You better, you better, you better, you better be lonely, when I come for your love

How many artists these days are smart and confident enough to put out a live track for every studio track released? Samantha is most definitely next level!!

[@joeystvincent]

Yeah man... It shows her true talent to be able to replicate things live. Doesn't happen a lot these days... She's the REAL deal for sure.

[@andrewlevi5340]

I was just thinking that. She's awesome. Well-oiled band.

[@georget9101]

she is most definitely a great live performer, everything she does, she does it better live. that's rare.

[@AnnaMuir]

higi hi ivvhgiigigiggiggigigigigigggigiigihihigggigggiggyyyyyyy

[@patrickyeager7994]

And Washed up Gene Simmons says rock is dead. Wrong dude. She is a real rock star.

[@simonagree4070]

What can I say? Samantha is my goddess. I recommend her to everybody who will listen, and I drop those who won't.

[@angelogreeno9921]

The addition of Sarah Tomek on drums is a good move. Her back up vocals work really well on this track.

[@jamiedeyes3087]

Like when she plays with Maggie Rose 👍🎶🎸

[@pattivernucci691]

Hell yes!!! Sarah is fire!!

[@roddickson427]

Excellent band, with a superb almost stripped back sound.😊

[@c.s.4428]

My favourite thing about Samantha Fish is Samantha Fish..!

[@robbiehelms5270]

Samantha has the most incredible voice I have ever heard, and her guitar skills are off the chart.

[@blue-fj9ky]

I've been listening to electric guitar lead solos since 1965. I really appreciate someone who is never boring and never predictable. Samantha always delivers original ideas!

[@jackychazaubenay1195]

sam'fish WAOOOH, SONG,SOUND, GUITARS, DRUMS, VOICES..... WHAT else TRUE good MUSIC! thanks miss FISH . JACKYFAN 👍

[@scottnierling53]

After seeing a KZbin "Five Underrated Guitarists", I found this video, watched it once and promptly purchased the CD - A real gem!

[@DerrickMims]

Welcome aboard! If you like her bluesier sound, check out her first three albums (Runaway, Black Wind Howlin, Wild at Heart). So good. ❤

[@Leo-pr7ly]

This Album is soo good. This Songs are so much better then whats on the Radio, would rather hear you there!

[@eagle4gate704]

Heaven in my ears, i love your music Samantha, i hope to see you someday live in Greece

[@ChickNGuitars]

Samantha Fish and Rory Gallagher are my favorite guitarists because the magic of their live music just can't be captured in a studio. She's consistently flawless in real time and it's mind blowing 🤯

[@RobertSmith-tq6mf]

Shin kicker !!

[@Gallagherfreak100]

I'd love to see Samantha pull off a couple of Rory tunes; A million Miles Away and Walk on Hot Coals comes to mind. Whether she could could pull off Rory's insane guitar work on Walk on Hot Coals would be quite a challenge. Don't forget about Frank Marino who might be the best ever.

[@eszterwoller34]

THX! Yay this is what I've been thinking about listening to her guitar playing! I have been searching for someone to compare her playing to as I had the feeling that Ive heard such excellent crunchy-raw rythem-lead mix before but I couldn't pin it down: it's Rory of course...She's exceptional I hope she'll soon get the recognition she deserves! The backing band is outstanding too.

[@kennethfoskett6243]

Rory Gallagher is a bad ass I been playing a lot longer than her went to one of her shows she's fuckin rude

[@RobertSmith-tq6mf]

Shadow Play

[@paulperkins1615]

This song is twisted in a way a really like. I can imagine its writing as starting with a standard rock "love" song, and then replacing each line with what it really meant.

[@sid35gb]

Got tickets to see her in the U.K. can’t wait.😎🎸👍

[@daledundee466]

Happy to see you have trimmed the band back to where you began, you don’t need the horns, great sound,great singer, even greater guitar player.

[@chrisobrien1344]

What a gem🥰 Gemfish👍

[@alanmcmanus893]

Samantha is a goddess of music. She has no equals.

[@h.m.mcgreevy7787]

Seen this chic in concert, one of my favorites!☘️💜☘️

[@roryderkson765]

That smirk love it

[@christopherbarnhouse2580]

Sweet ! Love her going back to face melting guitar ! The acoustic, 10 piece band, americana, etc. stuff aren't my favorite. Nor is the produced sound studio tracks. I got hooked on SF watching youtube vids of her live performances. This song gets things rockin again !

[@UncleDoug]

What a great, catchy tune.....so well done. The drummer really adds to it.

[@mpschaefer1]

Samantha the bad ass, my favorite

[@wardwilson4883]

The Belt on her matching color Blzar Blows me Away

[@fabiogramani3849]

….the new album gets better and better. 👏👏👏

[@bansheebird]

This song is the one Samantha! The attitude in the song matches your in your face guitar skills. It also matches the in your face look and style you have. I love it! I hope you play it tomorrow night!

[@normannoury4934]

Samantha and her band are just sensational. And yes, that lady on the drums really adds more senuality to it all.

[@katterik]

Another tour de force ... I've been watching this fantastic live video since the album track dropped into my mailbox 3 days ago. Samantha has delivered again, exactly as promised: a hook you can't get out of your head, and an upside down power dynamic that strides confidently into new territory ... all wrapped in exquisite, precise guitar work and vocal sophistication. As always, from Runaway until today, she's on fire 🔥. What a gift to the rest of us! Thank you Samantha ♥️

[@andrewb4470]

Excellent post! I can't get enough of this ultra talented, gorgeous woman and watch a number of her videos every day. Her guitar solos, particularly on 'Runaway', 'Black Wind Howlin' ' and 'Money to Burn' are spectacular! I hope to see her in concert soon!

[@reemclaughlin4260]

Even her older videos that were covers were way above average. She’s the TOTAL beautiful package ✌🏼💞🎤💃🏻🥁🎼🎸

[@rositachadronet6187]

She's all that and adorable with a great sense of style and flair to compliment the genius musician that she is! My favorite female guitarist! 🌹 rosita

[@trianglerecords]

Hi sister, the musical way you take back is awesome. The blues spirit is here again. Thank you for all. Kisses from France.

[@markbirchette8740]

Been smitten by her playing and singing from the beginning! 🎸

[@scottnierling53]

Masterful! A hidden gem I was unaware of til now. Thank you Miss Fish.

[@frankrandolph1507]

This is AWESOME. Great new band. The drummer and her backup vocals put you into a whole new level, in my opinion. She's a keeper.

[@inare4076]

Thank you so much for the show on Monday in my hometown, Freiburg, Germany. I bought the ticket without knowing you and your music before 🥳 my best decision this year 👍 great show, needs to be repeated in Karlsruhe 🤓... see you there

[@johnwaine56]

This sound is tighter than ever - thanks largely to Sarah on drums. The four piece including keyboard suits Samantha’s compositions, singing and style better even than the power trio and certainly better than the bigger band with horns. Samantha Fish band just gets better and better!!

[@martinhowe1422]

Freudian final sentence?

[@michaeld2519]

'Samantha Fox'? Ouch! Methinks you looked at too many Sam Fox pics in the 80's, lol.

[@PumpingUpAlways]

Superb rendition.

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Delicious sounding guitar and bass since Samantha and the band influence me so much as a guitarist and this song showcases why they're such classy musicians!

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

She really is a classy girl I mean just a lot of style!

[@terriresch1381]

Blown away. Steady and controlled. Perfect.

[@dskim5848]

Great song! This band truly complements Samantha Fish. Sarah is a keeper!

[@bldrnr09]

love watching this band, love these two female musicians, extremally talented. Can't get enough of Sarah's performance. Thanks for posting this video

[@rositachadronet6187]

I just wanted to check her out from something that was on Google news, and gone in a flash! So glad to have KZbin and discover some great, new faves! I am blown away! She's amazing and definitely a gem! Gonna listen to more of her stuff!!! 🌹 rosita

[@bldrnr09]

@@rositachadronet6187 Lot of videos from her tours last year, some of the best of this line up. I am not fussy on her new line up with Jesse Dalton and his crew. The bass player ir Ron Johnson from her old crew. Her old drummer Sarah Tomek is far better than her current drummer. Preferred the interaction of the women musicians made for a better show

[@jimmibimmi673]

Simply awesome you are!! Can't wait to see you live Saturday at the Lincoln amphitheater for the first time! I know I will be blown away!

[@richardfiedler2201]

Ladies and gentlemen that's what you call. ROCK AND ROLL !!!!!

[@jimf710]

This track was in my daily mix on Spotify. I had to stop what I was doing to give it my full attention. Guitar and vocals made me switch over to hear 'Faster'. I plan on seeing her in Columbia, MO.

[@LerxstDirkPratt]

I preordered the new album weeks ago and these little teaser drops are killing me, but I love it......

[@jgbsweeper7325]

Sarah Tomek is my very favorite addition to the band lineup 😎

[@louvoresinloop-ivenio8073]

Samantha, your sound is fantastic, unmistakable! it has personality!

[@randomvideosbymark8095]

One awesome song after another on this amazing album!!!!!❤

[@edbrown6467]

Awesomeness. I can't wait to see her perform live again. 😎✌

[@rocketpost1]

Great vocal and guitar playing from Samantha with great backing from her band especially the propulsive drumming of Sarah Tomek.

[@wrdlmbrt1956]

WHOE... Samantha Fish making that guitar sing and cry for us ... WOW! Samantha Fish ... I've been following you for quite a while now when you were just a bit younger... and you're like a bottle of fine wine... " As you age ... just like a fine wine you get better & better, you are amazing... top notch musician and I ❤ me some Samantha Fish music! 👍👍🤠

[@ldfrench1]

Love this! FASTER is going to be a huge breakthrough album!

[@littlefred811]

If you say you are into dancing/hard driving blues, and you don't like Samantha Fish and her band, we can't be friends.

[@vinray89]

Sam's still tearin' it up! You go girl!

[@darrelltetar638]

Brilliant! the simplicity of Samantha and the drummer's interaction takes it to a new level for her. I will now be on the lookout for her new stufffffffffff!

[@colinl9018]

Best line up of the Samantha Fish Band ever, these guys/gals have really gelled.

[@j.p2213]

Well done Miss Fish....

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

The drummer gots it going on. Maybe my favorite of the drummers I’ve seen with her, and as a bonus - backup vocals!

[@blueblur6447]

Just saw them live the other day... The fun and sync they have playing together is awesome... They play a continuous set, and she leads the charge nonstop

[@13-65]

Превосходно! Как же хорошо с утра встать и получить заряд хорошего настроения и бодрости)))) Огромное спасибо, Саманта!)))

[@shawnaldrich7868]

Samantha ,I am never lonely with y'all blowin up my headphones.Such an amazing talented lady.Best female guitarist on the planet.I am so blessed to have you in my lifetime of music

[@dukeshazzard7396]

Samantha 💚

[@Ireland831]

The more vids I see of Samantha Fish playing, the more impressed I am. She has chops and a great vibe. One of the things that is that she is not afraid to be sexy and womanly. She carries herself in a way that is not distracting or a gimmick. Just a beautiful woman that can sing and play and hold her own in a male dominated genre. Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tadeschi, Big Mama Thornton have a new member of the club.

[@MikeSrok]

Love the groove on this..and that solo! Can I get a hell yeah🔥🎸🎶!!

[@norarivers2744]

She is amazing 💛✨

[@CallMeBigWorm]

Nice, groovy, funky and pure bada$$!! I freaking love it!! Man... Samantha you make that guitar squeal and scream while you sing like an angel 😁😁😁 absolutely awesome!! Much love and respect for you guys!! Keep on rockin!!

[@malcolmbradley6136]

It's great Samantha tours the UK regularly ❤ make for awesome live music nights ❤❤❤😎🎵🎵🎵

[@timothyday8565]

Can't wait for January 14th in Austin.

[@ferddiubaldo7238]

Congrats Samantha Fish, this is a testament of your years of hard work and dedication to your artistry. I’m sure there are tons of bands that are disappointed not making this list. Variety 50 Best Songs Of 2021: Samantha Fish, ‘Better Be Lonely’ at #45 Blues fans are not the type to always take kindly to one of their practitioners “going pop.” So Fish, who’s already at risk of seeming like an outsider in the genre just by virtue of being a female guitar-slinger, took some risk by going in a more commercial direction on her “Faster” album. But it paid off, as an amalgam of great hooks and the six-string prowess that brought her to the dance. “Better Be Lonely” is a particular delight - that riff and that chorus would be enough, but when she twins up that guitar part around the midway point, it turns into pure rock bliss.

[@davidtroxell837]

Legendary

[@cudny90]

This is awesome! Can't wait for you to visit Poland!

[@wildcolonialman]

Fabulous.

[@ehbuller]

Hard to pick but this is my favorite track from the new album. This is the kind of stuff radio should be playing.

[@fth2460]

Yes...! Sam is getting better and better.......

[@ate-updesigns9186]

Love this song..damn

[@danofiremano]

Fantastic!

[@glennw9927]

Caught her live at Antone’s a couple years ago. Awesome talent.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Just when I think that the best music was behind us, I see these musicians over the last few years really kicking ass! Samantha is sexy and classy and also humble and she's a powerhouse on the stage and studio! She is just one hell of a musician! And she's her own...

[@wolfback6181]

Thank you Samantha 😊 💓

[@paulperkins1615]

She changed the first line here from the album version! Puts a different spin on the rest of the song.

[@johnnyshill534]

Another superb song, make me look forward even more to the new album. Your music never fails to put a smile on my face, music is about the feeling it gives you, even to a degree the memories it can make you have or give you. There have been times when listening to your music where it has taken me back to happier times in my life and I thank you for that and for the constant great music.

[@joeystvincent]

Agreed... Her music is full of feels... There hasn't been a total package in the blues - like her - in a long time. The future of blues is in good hands.

[@hustler3of4culture3]

Love it

[@Raldo5150]

Cool tune!!

[@mistaburna]

Listen after listen, I NEVER get tired of hearing ANY song by her, and I am spellbound by the way her mind and vocals find a new way to pierce thru my ears and communicate with my soul. Absolutely intoxicating. I don't know HOW! she finds a way to squeeze SO much lyrical magnetism into THAT! one-of-kind Voice. Heaven to my Everything 😎

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

Sam’s always been an ace guitarist! She knows when to play low & slow and when to hit you between the ears with her killer solos🤩🤩. And the drummer…. well uh…. keeps up a mean 4/4??
