You come home late from work, baby
You wonder why it ain't on the table
After the day that I've had
I don't believe I'm able
You give me every little reason in the book
But there's one thing that I think you've overlooked
You say you're tired, well so am i
Baby you've got to try and
Meet halfway or we ain't gonna make it, baby
Meet halfway if you want to get it right
Meet halfway cause I ain't gonna take it, baby
Meet halfway in the middle of the night
Our love is kind of stalled, baby
But it ain't about the sex
I'd trade the roses and the negligees
If we could just connect
I go deeper when you look into my eyes
There's a place where neither one of us can hide
And it's up to us to reinvent the game
Love it when you call my name and
Meet halfway, ain't no doubt about it, baby
Meet halfway, and we're halfway home
Meet halfway, got to scream and shout it, baby
Meet me halfway and I'll shake you to the bone
I'm On Your Side Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Baby, won't you come and tell me
Tell me what we're gonna do...yeah, baby
I've tried everything I know just to,
Just to try and get along with you
Wake up in the morning and already
You are aimin for a fight
No matter what I say or do
I'm never gonna get it right
But ain't we gettin kind of tore down
Always layin it on the line
I don't think that when they called it love
This what they had in mind
[Chorus:]
(Hey) Baby, don't you know that
I'm on your side
All you got to do now, darlin...
Take my little heart and open wide
Hey baby, I know we can work it out
Might take a little mojo workin, baby
But ain't that what love is all about?
Hey, Baby, must be somethin bout this
push and pull
makes me wonder if we stir it up...
just to make sure things'll never get dull.
Come on baby take the gloves off
and then untie those shoes
I got something more tantalizin
For you left and right to do
[Chorus]
Tell me what we're gonna do...yeah, baby
I've tried everything I know just to,
Just to try and get along with you
Wake up in the morning and already
You are aimin for a fight
No matter what I say or do
I'm never gonna get it right
But ain't we gettin kind of tore down
Always layin it on the line
I don't think that when they called it love
This what they had in mind
[Chorus:]
(Hey) Baby, don't you know that
I'm on your side
All you got to do now, darlin...
Take my little heart and open wide
Hey baby, I know we can work it out
Might take a little mojo workin, baby
But ain't that what love is all about?
Hey, Baby, must be somethin bout this
push and pull
makes me wonder if we stir it up...
just to make sure things'll never get dull.
Come on baby take the gloves off
and then untie those shoes
I got something more tantalizin
For you left and right to do
[Chorus]
Fearless Love Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Come my love
Come bravely to me
Let your heart be still
For our time
Has come my tender one
To be free of will
And fly
Blind on fearless love
Let them wild winds blow
We'll shine
On all we're fearful of
Then we'll let it go
Let it go
Skippin' stones
Across the great unknown
Safe at water's edge
Don't look down, baby
We're gonna leave this losin' town
And leap out from the ledge
And fly
Blind on fearless love
Let them wild winds blow
We'll shine
On all we're fearful of
Then we'll let it go
Let it go
Come bravely to me
Let your heart be still
For our time
Has come my tender one
To be free of will
And fly
Blind on fearless love
Let them wild winds blow
We'll shine
On all we're fearful of
Then we'll let it go
Let it go
Skippin' stones
Across the great unknown
Safe at water's edge
Don't look down, baby
We're gonna leave this losin' town
And leap out from the ledge
And fly
Blind on fearless love
Let them wild winds blow
We'll shine
On all we're fearful of
Then we'll let it go
Let it go

One Belief Away Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Last night I thought I found you
I saw it in a dream
I was tangled in the rushes, baby
You were caught up in the stream
And the more I tried to reach you
The more you slipped away
And when I woke up in the darkness
I was callin' out your name
[Chorus:]
You and we dance around it
Why is the truth so hard to say
We long for true love, well
We've found it, it's just
One belief away
There's a shadow in the garden
And it's coiled around our hearts
Won't you help me to believe you, baby
Won't you show me where to start
The more I try to reach you
The more you slip away
I want to wake up in the darkness
And hear you callin' out my name
[Chorus]
I saw it in a dream
I was tangled in the rushes, baby
You were caught up in the stream
And the more I tried to reach you
The more you slipped away
And when I woke up in the darkness
I was callin' out your name
[Chorus:]
You and we dance around it
Why is the truth so hard to say
We long for true love, well
We've found it, it's just
One belief away
There's a shadow in the garden
And it's coiled around our hearts
Won't you help me to believe you, baby
Won't you show me where to start
The more I try to reach you
The more you slip away
I want to wake up in the darkness
And hear you callin' out my name
[Chorus]
Love Sneakin' Up On You Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Rainy night, I'm all alone
Sittin' here, waiting for your voice on the phone
Fever turns to cold, cold sweat
Thinkin' about things we ain't done yet
Tell me now
I gotta know, do you feel the same
Do you just light up at the mention of my name
[Chorus:]
Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
And if your whole world is shakin', feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you
Hey, hey yeah
Nowhere on Earth for your heart to hide
Once love comes sneakin' up on your blind side
You might as well try to stop the rain
Stand in the track of a runaway train
Just can't fight it when a thing is meant to be, yeah
Come on, let's finish what you started with me
Yeah
[Chorus]
Hey yeah
[Chorus 2x]
Sittin' here, waiting for your voice on the phone
Fever turns to cold, cold sweat
Thinkin' about things we ain't done yet
Tell me now
I gotta know, do you feel the same
Do you just light up at the mention of my name
[Chorus:]
Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
And if your whole world is shakin', feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you
Hey, hey yeah
Nowhere on Earth for your heart to hide
Once love comes sneakin' up on your blind side
You might as well try to stop the rain
Stand in the track of a runaway train
Just can't fight it when a thing is meant to be, yeah
Come on, let's finish what you started with me
Yeah
[Chorus]
Hey yeah
[Chorus 2x]
Longing In Their Hearts Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mine
He's a short order cook
Long on speed, short on spice
He reads his customers like a book
He's seen this, and he's done that
Now he's makin' fried eggs an art
But there's one thing he can't fix no how
There's a longing in his heart
He's tried for years to work it out
At the grill and at his home
Well he talks to his friends, talks to himself
He talks the chicken right off the bone
Talks to his woman and she understands
You know they're always eye to eye
She runs the join, They live out back
Small House under a Big sky
Well even the stars at night agree
The sky is falling apart
She knows cause she can feel it too
There's a longing in her heart
A longing in her heart
Longing in her heart
Well now you and me, we're just like them
We never wanted to be alone,
So we made a pact, sealed with desire
For a happier house and home
Only to find it doens't untie
The know where feelings die
There's a longing deep inside our hearts
And no one to tell us why
Our friends aren't looking for anything new
They wouldn't know where to look
Well her, she like running the joint
And he likes being a cook
Together they're doing very well
They're might glad they could
But there's a fire burning towards them now
Coming from a distant wood
And eve the stars at night agree
That the sky is falling apart
We know 'cause we can feel it too
There's a longing in our hearts
He's a short order cook
Long on speed, short on spice
He reads his customers like a book
He's seen this, and he's done that
Now he's makin' fried eggs an art
But there's one thing he can't fix no how
There's a longing in his heart
He's tried for years to work it out
At the grill and at his home
Well he talks to his friends, talks to himself
He talks the chicken right off the bone
Talks to his woman and she understands
You know they're always eye to eye
She runs the join, They live out back
Small House under a Big sky
Well even the stars at night agree
The sky is falling apart
She knows cause she can feel it too
There's a longing in her heart
A longing in her heart
Longing in her heart
Well now you and me, we're just like them
We never wanted to be alone,
So we made a pact, sealed with desire
For a happier house and home
Only to find it doens't untie
The know where feelings die
There's a longing deep inside our hearts
And no one to tell us why
Our friends aren't looking for anything new
They wouldn't know where to look
Well her, she like running the joint
And he likes being a cook
Together they're doing very well
They're might glad they could
But there's a fire burning towards them now
Coming from a distant wood
And eve the stars at night agree
That the sky is falling apart
We know 'cause we can feel it too
There's a longing in our hearts
You Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Nobody else could make me happy
No one could hurt me like you do
You were the only one That mattered
Then you were gone...Love had moved on
Left me alone thinking of...
You...There was never any other
You...and I were created to be true
Isn't it Love that keeps us breathing
Isn't it love we're sent here for
Wasn't that love that we were feeling
(That was something baby)
Deep in our soul...Deeper than we know
Keeping me holding out for
You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
True hearts in a world where love is dyin'
And I might as well have been dyin' when
We were apart
When you came back I felt the beating of my heart
You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
You...and only you
It was you...only you
You...Always you
No one could hurt me like you do
You were the only one That mattered
Then you were gone...Love had moved on
Left me alone thinking of...
You...There was never any other
You...and I were created to be true
Isn't it Love that keeps us breathing
Isn't it love we're sent here for
Wasn't that love that we were feeling
(That was something baby)
Deep in our soul...Deeper than we know
Keeping me holding out for
You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
True hearts in a world where love is dyin'
And I might as well have been dyin' when
We were apart
When you came back I felt the beating of my heart
You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
You...and only you
It was you...only you
You...Always you
Cool, Clear Water Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I want to feel my earth turn over,baby
In this hardened winter ground
Feel my earth turn over, darlin'
Till' I'm rootless and unbound
I want to feel my body tremble
When there's no one else around
Just this cool, clear water runnin'
In this love that I've found
Hey baby
See how it can be
Every time you reveal yourself tome
I'll come runnin'
I want to feel myself go under,baby
Where the deepest river bleeds
I want to feel it pull me under,darlin'
Until it drops me to my knees
I want to know that I can findyou
When there's no more eyes tosee
In this cool, clear water runnin'
You'll come runnin' to me
Hey baby
All my life I have known there'ssomething more
A love to blind me like the sun
Deep in dreams, I will wash upon your shore
Now I know that you're the one
When I feelmy babycallin'
It's like awhisper inAnd whenthe softestrain is fallin', darlin'
I will crumble in your hand
And when all that's left is wonder
And no need to understand

Circle Dance Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I don't know why it should be so hard
Giving up this circle dance
Worn out steps from long ago
Don't give love a chance
It's a bitter heirloom handed down
These twisted parts we play
I'm not her and you're not him
It just comes out that way
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could
I'll be home soon, that's what you'd say
And a little kid believes
After a while I learned that love
Must be a thing that leaves
I tried so hard just to hold you near
Was as good as I could be
Even when I had you here
You stayed so far from me
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I understood
Time has made things clearer noe
You did the best you could
Now that this has occured to me
I just want you to know
I've been too faithful all my life
It's time to let you go
Giving up this circle dance
Worn out steps from long ago
Don't give love a chance
It's a bitter heirloom handed down
These twisted parts we play
I'm not her and you're not him
It just comes out that way
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could
I'll be home soon, that's what you'd say
And a little kid believes
After a while I learned that love
Must be a thing that leaves
I tried so hard just to hold you near
Was as good as I could be
Even when I had you here
You stayed so far from me
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I understood
Time has made things clearer noe
You did the best you could
Now that this has occured to me
I just want you to know
I've been too faithful all my life
It's time to let you go
I Sho Do Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
You took my love and ran away
What did you expect me to say
I gave you everything I could
But you weren't giving up, baby
What you should
I Sho do...Need You
I Sho Do...Want You
I'm in need of what you've got
It makes my blood boiling hot
You told me baby, A long time ago
That you'd never, ever leave me
Never, no more
I Sho Do...Need You
I Sho Do...Want You
I Sho Do...Wish For You
I Sho Do...Walk the Floor All Night Long
When you see me, baby standing alone
Come and help me baby, Cause I'm out on my own
You see it ain't easy in the streets
But what you've got baby, could help me to my feet
I Sho Do...Need You
I Sho Do...Want You
I Sho Do...Wish For You
I Sho Do...Walk the Floor All
Night Long
What did you expect me to say
I gave you everything I could
But you weren't giving up, baby

Dimming Of The Day Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pulled me like the moon
Pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side
What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you're only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant
I see you the street and in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day...
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pulled me like the moon
Pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side
What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you're only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant
I see you the street and in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day...
Feeling Of Falling Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Sometimes I miss that feeling of falling
Falling on over the ledge
You know I miss that feeling of falling
Falling on over the ledge
And when my mind it gets to worryin'
And I just can't get no rest
Oh Baby, that's when I call you up instead
It's after midnight baby, I'm sittin' here all alone
I tried to call your number baby,
But you weren't at home
I been a good girl baby, through with all that mess
But the way I'm feelin' now, darlin'
Well it scares me half to death
Well I miss that feelin', of fallin'
On over the ledge
That summer night in Texas, baby
Too hot and wet to sleep
I heard you pull up in the distance
You're comin' to get me relief
We went screamin' down the highway, baby
So much faster than we should
You pulled me over in the moonlight
Man, I still can feel that hood
Well I miss that feeling of fallin',
On over the ledge
When that rain starts baby, I want to take a real
Good look at that ledge
It ain't something you get over
You might think you made it through
You can turn your head and walk away
But it never takes it's eyes off you
It'll push your foot right through the floorboard
Make you cut them streamers down his back
You waste what's precious and you can't afford
It runs your life right off the track
Keeps you boilin' in that poison
Only the truly twisted know so well
You don't need drugs to show you heaven, baby
'cause there's plenty clean in hell
That miss that feelin' of fallin'
Of fallin' on over the ledge
When the blues start callin' I want to crawl way up close to the ledge
Falling on over the ledge
You know I miss that feeling of falling
Falling on over the ledge
And when my mind it gets to worryin'
And I just can't get no rest
Oh Baby, that's when I call you up instead
It's after midnight baby, I'm sittin' here all alone
I tried to call your number baby,
But you weren't at home
I been a good girl baby, through with all that mess
But the way I'm feelin' now, darlin'
Well it scares me half to death
Well I miss that feelin', of fallin'
On over the ledge
That summer night in Texas, baby
Too hot and wet to sleep
I heard you pull up in the distance
You're comin' to get me relief
We went screamin' down the highway, baby
So much faster than we should
You pulled me over in the moonlight
Man, I still can feel that hood
Well I miss that feeling of fallin',
On over the ledge
When that rain starts baby, I want to take a real
Good look at that ledge
It ain't something you get over
You might think you made it through
You can turn your head and walk away
But it never takes it's eyes off you
It'll push your foot right through the floorboard
Make you cut them streamers down his back
You waste what's precious and you can't afford
It runs your life right off the track
Keeps you boilin' in that poison
Only the truly twisted know so well
You don't need drugs to show you heaven, baby
'cause there's plenty clean in hell
That miss that feelin' of fallin'
Of fallin' on over the ledge
When the blues start callin' I want to crawl way up close to the ledge
Steal Your Heart Away Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I know you got a different picture in mind
Some dream a world of a different kind
I know this rhythm we've been moving to is way to slow
Each time our bodies are supposed to meet
I'm still here missing a beat
And when I look at you in your eyes
We're still dancing to a differernt tune
[Chorus:]
Take me to your dreaming place
Open up my eyes
Let me see what it takes to be
Your lover in disguise
Show me how I do those things
That make you want to stay
'Cause I'll go crazy if I don't find
The words I gotta say
To steal your heart away
I'll buy you diamonds, buy you golden rings
All kinds of beautiful things
But that don't matter to a lover with a restless heart
Cause you still want to wake up to a different scene
Some screen gem like the one in the dream
And leave me standing like a fool in the wings
Still waiting for a part to play
[Chorus]
I know you think she's right for you
That she's in tune with what you do
That she can touch you deep inside
Where all your deepest feelings lie
But I got something you should know
Before she starts to hurt you so
You can bet your life she's gonna hurt you
And maybe you think that it's alright
To leave me waiting every night
To put me down in company
In front of everyone we see
To take my loving when it's free
And then to throw it back at me
Well baby, I just can't stand it
Cause I can be the one for you
And I can make your dreams come true
And I can love you like she can
Cause fancy clothes don't make no woman
Believe me baby
I got what it takes to make you feel
And maybe you think a girl should be
As perfect as a girl can be
To love you when your feeling down
And miss you when you're not around
Well I can't be that one for you
I can only be the one that loves you
Hey, what's this on your mind
Hey, what's this change of mind
Hey, what's this on your mind
Some dream a world of a different kind
I know this rhythm we've been moving to is way to slow
Each time our bodies are supposed to meet
I'm still here missing a beat
And when I look at you in your eyes
We're still dancing to a differernt tune
[Chorus:]
Take me to your dreaming place
Open up my eyes
Let me see what it takes to be
Your lover in disguise
Show me how I do those things
That make you want to stay
'Cause I'll go crazy if I don't find
The words I gotta say
To steal your heart away
I'll buy you diamonds, buy you golden rings
All kinds of beautiful things
But that don't matter to a lover with a restless heart
Cause you still want to wake up to a different scene
Some screen gem like the one in the dream
And leave me standing like a fool in the wings
Still waiting for a part to play
[Chorus]
I know you think she's right for you
That she's in tune with what you do
That she can touch you deep inside
Where all your deepest feelings lie
But I got something you should know
Before she starts to hurt you so
You can bet your life she's gonna hurt you
And maybe you think that it's alright
To leave me waiting every night
To put me down in company
In front of everyone we see
To take my loving when it's free
And then to throw it back at me
Well baby, I just can't stand it
Cause I can be the one for you
And I can make your dreams come true
And I can love you like she can
Cause fancy clothes don't make no woman
Believe me baby
I got what it takes to make you feel
And maybe you think a girl should be
As perfect as a girl can be
To love you when your feeling down
And miss you when you're not around
Well I can't be that one for you
I can only be the one that loves you
Hey, what's this on your mind
Hey, what's this change of mind
Hey, what's this on your mind
