Who'll take the only hearts they got
And throw them into the fire?
Who'll risk their own self respect
In the name of desire?
Who'll regret everything they've done
And who will get the bill?
Lovers will
Who'll hurt each other all the time
And never give it a thought?
Who'll lie about where they've been
And hope they never get caught?
Who'll say each other's kisses
No longer thrill?
Lovers will
Lovers will do almost anything
For the thrill that only love can bring
If love is a healer, who'll be the first ones ill?
Lovers will
Who'll never know what they've got
Until it's just about gone?
And whose arms will gather up what's left
To carry on?
And who'll stalk that little bit of love
That hasn't been killed?
Lovers will
Gnawin' On It Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I'm down here workin' at my job
But I just can't concentrate
You keep messin' with my mind
Yeah, I'm circlin' round the bait
I got to take off early
I got to get you home
Gonna show you little woman why a dog loves a bone
We'll be gnawin' on it
Yeah, gnawin' on it
We be gnawin' on it
Ah, nah, baby don't do that
I dropped the kids at school this morning
Hung the clothes in the back
I'm trying to take care of my business
Nut my mind ain't on the track
You got me feeling kind of squirrelly
I got to get you in this place,
'Cause what I got in mind'll put a grin on your face.
We'll be gnawin' on it
Yeah, gnawin' on it
We be gnawin' on it
Ah, nah, baby don't do that
They say it's hard to keep it going
When you're together for so long
They say combustion's for the youngsters
We should be glad we get along
But they don't know nothin' 'bout it
They way you love me it's a shame
'Cause there ain't nobody better
Blowin' embers to a flame
We'll be gnawin' on it
Yeah, gnawin' on it
We be gnawin' on it
Ah, nah, baby don't do that
But I just can't concentrate
You keep messin' with my mind
Yeah, I'm circlin' round the bait
I got to take off early
I got to get you home
Gonna show you little woman why a dog loves a bone
We'll be gnawin' on it
Yeah, gnawin' on it
We be gnawin' on it
Ah, nah, baby don't do that
I dropped the kids at school this morning
Hung the clothes in the back
I'm trying to take care of my business
Nut my mind ain't on the track
You got me feeling kind of squirrelly
I got to get you in this place,
'Cause what I got in mind'll put a grin on your face.
We'll be gnawin' on it
Yeah, gnawin' on it
We be gnawin' on it
Ah, nah, baby don't do that
They say it's hard to keep it going
When you're together for so long
They say combustion's for the youngsters
We should be glad we get along
But they don't know nothin' 'bout it
They way you love me it's a shame
'Cause there ain't nobody better
Blowin' embers to a flame
We'll be gnawin' on it
Yeah, gnawin' on it
We be gnawin' on it
Ah, nah, baby don't do that
Wherever You May Be Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
As simple as breathing
I picture your face,
All tangled in daydreams
And shielded with grace.
I feel you beside me.
Wherever you may be
Lift up your hand for me.
There's somewhere in my heart
Only for you.
If I must do without
I'll let these sparks fly out
Across the wilderness
From me to you.
As certain as sunrise
Your image unwinds.
You're clearer than crystal.
You fill up my mind.
Now I have you by my side.
Wherever you may be
Lift up your hand for me.
There's somewhere in my heart
Only for you.
Though Continents devide,
And lonely thoughts collide
Our heaven will allow no distance now.
I can always close my eyes
Take your absence by surprise,
Hold my breath and make believe.
As simple as breathing
I picture your face,
All tangled in daydreams
And sheilded with grace.
There's somewhere in my heart only for you.
If I must do without
I'll let these sparks fly out
Across this wilderness
From me to you.
Wherever you may be
Lift up your hand for me.
There's somewhere in my heart only for you.
I picture your face,
All tangled in daydreams
And shielded with grace.
I feel you beside me.
Wherever you may be
Lift up your hand for me.
There's somewhere in my heart
Only for you.
If I must do without
I'll let these sparks fly out
Across the wilderness
From me to you.
As certain as sunrise
Your image unwinds.
You're clearer than crystal.
You fill up my mind.
Now I have you by my side.
Wherever you may be
Lift up your hand for me.
There's somewhere in my heart
Only for you.
Though Continents devide,
And lonely thoughts collide
Our heaven will allow no distance now.
I can always close my eyes
Take your absence by surprise,
Hold my breath and make believe.
As simple as breathing
I picture your face,
All tangled in daydreams
And sheilded with grace.
There's somewhere in my heart only for you.
If I must do without
I'll let these sparks fly out
Across this wilderness
From me to you.
Wherever you may be
Lift up your hand for me.
There's somewhere in my heart only for you.
Valley Of Pain Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Ah... don't let me grow bitter I pray
Give me strength to carry on my way
I'm leanin on you like a wooden cane
Well, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
I'm believin there's a reason for this trial'
This too shall pass in a little while
Woh, Lord have mercy if I complain
I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Yes, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Paint me in a river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears
Well, when I'm hurtin I have a dangerous tongue
I lose it and use it like a gun
Oh wont you stop me if you see me takin aim
I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Paint me in a river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears
Remind me when I reach the other side
I'll b thankful for every tear that I cries
Don't let the darkness drive me insane
I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Give me strength to carry on my way
I'm leanin on you like a wooden cane
Well, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
I'm believin there's a reason for this trial'
This too shall pass in a little while
Woh, Lord have mercy if I complain
I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Yes, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Paint me in a river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears
Well, when I'm hurtin I have a dangerous tongue
I lose it and use it like a gun
Oh wont you stop me if you see me takin aim
I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Paint me in a river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears
Remind me when I reach the other side
I'll b thankful for every tear that I cries
Don't let the darkness drive me insane
I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
No Gettin' Over You Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Well I went and gave away my TV
Told the man "cut off the phone"
I put an ad in the paper, baby,
Gonna sell everything I own
Done everything in the world I know
To try to make it through
There's just no getting over you
Well I went and bought myself a new straw hat
One eye pokin' under the brim
Bought myself a little seaside shack
In case I might just want to swim
Done everything I know in the world I know
To try to shake these blues but
There's just no getting over you
Well I try and try
But honey it ain't no use
Cry and cry
I just can't turn you loose
Why oh why
Can't I get you off my mind
You got that hook so far in
I gotta get you off my line
Well I got some transcendental meditation
And I'm taking up Japanese
I signed up at the cooking school
I'm going to pick up on some hard cuisine
Done everything in the world
Just to try to make it through
There's just no getting over you
Well I try and try
But honey it ain't no use
Cry and cry
Just can't turn you loose
Why oh why
Can't I get you off my mind
You got that hook so far in
I just got to get you off my line
Now listen to this one time
You know the way you do, honey
Well I just can't make it over
Can't seem to make it baby
No matter what I say or do baby
I can't make it over
Oooh
Well there's just no getting over you
Told the man "cut off the phone"
I put an ad in the paper, baby,
Gonna sell everything I own
Done everything in the world I know
To try to make it through
There's just no getting over you
Well I went and bought myself a new straw hat
One eye pokin' under the brim
Bought myself a little seaside shack
In case I might just want to swim
Done everything I know in the world I know
To try to shake these blues but
There's just no getting over you
Well I try and try
But honey it ain't no use
Cry and cry
I just can't turn you loose
Why oh why
Can't I get you off my mind
You got that hook so far in
I gotta get you off my line
Well I got some transcendental meditation
And I'm taking up Japanese
I signed up at the cooking school
I'm going to pick up on some hard cuisine
Done everything in the world
Just to try to make it through
There's just no getting over you
Well I try and try
But honey it ain't no use
Cry and cry
Just can't turn you loose
Why oh why
Can't I get you off my mind
You got that hook so far in
I just got to get you off my line
Now listen to this one time
You know the way you do, honey
Well I just can't make it over
Can't seem to make it baby
No matter what I say or do baby

Oooh
Well there's just no getting over you
Back Around Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Turning into something
Drifting off to old ways
Got to pull myself back in
Holding back the questions
We're bruised with all rejection
Gotta pull myself back in
[Chorus:]
Suffer the breaks
You know I still remember it
It keeps burning away
I know that you may take a while
To come back around
Come back around
I miss you around
Reaching out for someone
Burning out for so long
Got to pull myself back in
There's no new religion
And there's no real solution
Gotta pull myself back in
[Chorus 2x]
Come back around
Come back around
Feel you're going under
So keep on treading water
Got to pull myself back in
Feel no obligation
But no more indecision
Gotta pull myself back in
Drifting off to old ways
Got to pull myself back in
Holding back the questions
We're bruised with all rejection
Gotta pull myself back in
[Chorus:]
Suffer the breaks
You know I still remember it
It keeps burning away
I know that you may take a while
To come back around
Come back around
I miss you around
Reaching out for someone
Burning out for so long
Got to pull myself back in
There's no new religion
And there's no real solution
Gotta pull myself back in
[Chorus 2x]
Come back around
Come back around
Feel you're going under
So keep on treading water
Got to pull myself back in
Feel no obligation
But no more indecision
Gotta pull myself back in
Wounded Heart Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Wounded heart I cannot save you from yourself
Though I wanted to be brave, it never helped.
'Cause your trouble's like a flood raging through your veins
No amount of love's enough to end the pain
Tenderness and time can heal a right gone wrong,
But the anger that you feel goes on and on.
And it's not enough to know that I love you still
So I'll take my heart and go for I've had my fill
[Instrumental break]
If you listen you can hear the angel's wings
Up above our heads so near they are hovering
Waiting to reach out for love when it falls apart
When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.
When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.
Though I wanted to be brave, it never helped.
'Cause your trouble's like a flood raging through your veins
No amount of love's enough to end the pain
Tenderness and time can heal a right gone wrong,
But the anger that you feel goes on and on.
And it's not enough to know that I love you still
So I'll take my heart and go for I've had my fill
[Instrumental break]
If you listen you can hear the angel's wings
Up above our heads so near they are hovering
Waiting to reach out for love when it falls apart
When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.
When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.
Hear Me Lord Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt

The Fundamental Things Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Let's run naked through these city streets
We're all captives of captivity
Let's wear madness like a crucifix
Let's tattoo Bible quotes across both our hips
[Chorus:]
Let's get back to the fundamental things
Let's get back to the elements of style
Let's get back to simple skin on skin
Let's get back to the fundamental things
Let's dance barefoot over broken glass
Slither like a snake does through the wet, cold grass
Howl and tremble in a sleepless grind
Let's do the braindrain, leave it all behind
[Chorus]
You can sit in your room and worry
You can contemplate the end
Or let your house burn down behind you
Run bare-ass through the streets again
You can hide out on your rooftop
Wishing you had never been
Or go down to Hal's bar and grill
Find your innocence again
[Chorus]
We're all captives of captivity
Let's wear madness like a crucifix
Let's tattoo Bible quotes across both our hips
[Chorus:]
Let's get back to the fundamental things
Let's get back to the elements of style
Let's get back to simple skin on skin
Let's get back to the fundamental things
Let's dance barefoot over broken glass
Slither like a snake does through the wet, cold grass
Howl and tremble in a sleepless grind
Let's do the braindrain, leave it all behind
[Chorus]
You can sit in your room and worry
You can contemplate the end
Or let your house burn down behind you
Run bare-ass through the streets again
You can hide out on your rooftop
Wishing you had never been
Or go down to Hal's bar and grill
Find your innocence again
[Chorus]
Cure For Love Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
You bring me roses
You give me kisses
You bring me moons and stars
That shine so high up in the sky
My heart is beating wild and crazy
Hope that I can find
A cure for this love
Could be you want me
Could be you care
Could be the words you say,
Are things I just want to hear
You me nervous, got me shaking
Maybe I can find
A cure for this love
La la la la...
Doctor, doctor
Give me healing, so I can stop this feeling
It's getting so much stronger
And I just can't go on much longer
Doctor please
Find me a way out of love
When the phone rings
And no one answers
The letters comeback saying
Lover cannot be found
Don't go looking, don't bother searching
You see it's cuz your baby
Found herself a cure for love
La la la la...
You give me kisses
You bring me moons and stars
That shine so high up in the sky
My heart is beating wild and crazy
Hope that I can find

Are things I just want to hear
You me nervous, got me shaking
Maybe I can find
A cure for this love
La la la la...

Give me healing, so I can stop this feeling
It's getting so much stronger
And I just can't go on much longer

And no one answers
The letters comeback saying
Lover cannot be found
Don't go looking, don't bother searching
You see it's cuz your baby
Found herself a cure for love
La la la la...
Round & Round Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
There's a brand new dance
That just hit this town
Makes you feel so good
This dance they call the round and round
[Chorus:]
Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
You know the kids got a bloodhound
Out on the playing ground
And when they want to have some fun
They start to goin round and round
[Chorus]
I got an elevator man
In the heart of town
And when he's feeling right
He will carry you round and round
[Chorus]
Baby don't be jealous
When I come to town
I'm just a country girl
Everybody's tryin to push poor me around
[Chorus]
That just hit this town
Makes you feel so good
This dance they call the round and round

Round and round, up and down

Spit Of Love Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
There's a howlin at my window, baby
I hear him closin in
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent
Knows I'll let him in
He slinks in by me at the fire
More bitter than the cold
And it's a rage as old as hades
That'll sputter on these coals
I'm callin on the furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on the spit of love again
I never have believed you
But I stick around for more
Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes
There's a darkness at the core
Well, it's got me slowly turnin
I'm basting on the bone
I'm skewered like some drunken fool
In juices all my own
Callin the furies' carrion choir
Singin me back upon the pyre
I'm roasting on that spit of love again
You can call it what you want
But it's lyin just the same
There's no mercy in these ashes, baby
When your love's a cryin shame
And they're howlin in moonlight, baby
They're here to call my bluff
They're wonderin if there'll ever come a day
When I'll have finally had enough
I'm callin on the furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on that spit of love again
I hear him closin in
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent
Knows I'll let him in
He slinks in by me at the fire
More bitter than the cold
And it's a rage as old as hades
That'll sputter on these coals
I'm callin on the furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on the spit of love again
I never have believed you
But I stick around for more
Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes
There's a darkness at the core
Well, it's got me slowly turnin
I'm basting on the bone
I'm skewered like some drunken fool
In juices all my own
Callin the furies' carrion choir
Singin me back upon the pyre
I'm roasting on that spit of love again
You can call it what you want
But it's lyin just the same
There's no mercy in these ashes, baby
When your love's a cryin shame
And they're howlin in moonlight, baby
They're here to call my bluff
They're wonderin if there'll ever come a day
When I'll have finally had enough
I'm callin on the furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on that spit of love again
Lover's Will Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Who'll take the only hearts they got
And throw them into the fire?
Who'll risk their own self respect
In the name of desire?
Who'll regret everything they've done
And who will get the bill?
Lovers will
Who'll hurt each other all the time
And never give it a thought?
Who'll lie about where they've been
And hope they never get caught?
Who'll say each other's kisses
No longer thrill?
Lovers will
Lovers will do almost anything
For the thrill that only love can bring
If love is a healer, who'll be the first ones ill?
Lovers will
Who'll never know what they've got
Until it's just about gone?
And whose arms will gather up what's left
To carry on?
And who'll stalk that little bit of love
That hasn't been killed?
Lovers will
And throw them into the fire?
Who'll risk their own self respect
In the name of desire?
Who'll regret everything they've done
And who will get the bill?
Lovers will
Who'll hurt each other all the time
And never give it a thought?
Who'll lie about where they've been
And hope they never get caught?
Who'll say each other's kisses
No longer thrill?
Lovers will
Lovers will do almost anything
For the thrill that only love can bring
If love is a healer, who'll be the first ones ill?
Lovers will
Who'll never know what they've got
Until it's just about gone?
And whose arms will gather up what's left
To carry on?
And who'll stalk that little bit of love
That hasn't been killed?
Lovers will
Blue For No Reason Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
When I was a girl, my favorite thing
In the whole wide world
Was to see a field and
Run for no reason
And off I'd go, no one behind
Only earth below
Just a patch of green, green as the season
Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason
Now that things have changed
Everything's carefully prearranged
Not a thing gets done
Except for a reason
Now I'm overrun, I'm startin to feel
Like a hired gun
Where's the chance, where's the fun
Where is the pleasin?
Try and try, you moan and sigh
You just can't find a thing to believe in
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason
Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
You're just blue, blue for no reason
In the whole wide world
Was to see a field and
Run for no reason
And off I'd go, no one behind
Only earth below
Just a patch of green, green as the season
Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason
Now that things have changed
Everything's carefully prearranged
Not a thing gets done
Except for a reason
Now I'm overrun, I'm startin to feel
Like a hired gun
Where's the chance, where's the fun
Where is the pleasin?
Try and try, you moan and sigh
You just can't find a thing to believe in
Why ask why, when all that's true
The sky is blue, blue for no reason
Don't ask why, your feet just fly
Green and sky is all that you're needin
Why ask why, when all that's true
You're just blue, blue for no reason
