Struck by the moon, rising too soon
I feel a pain deep inside me
Cold nothern wind, a fist in my chin
Makin' me wild for you baby
What can I do to get back to you
I'm feelin' desperate and lonely
The city's a river of cold misery
Makin' me wild for you baby
I'm down on my knees
Hear me cry for you baby
Cold misery
I would die for you baby
I pray you will see
These tears I cry
Struck by the moon, rising too soon
I feel a pain deep inside me
Cold nothern wind, a fist in my chin
Makin' me wild for you baby
What can I do to get back to you
I'm feelin' desperate and lonely
The city's a river of cold misery
Makin' me wild for you baby
I'm down on my knees
Hear me cry for you baby
Cold misery
I would die for you baby
I pray you will see
These tears I cry
About To Make Me Leave Home Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Never thought that a love could be so strong
It could ever make me, think about leaving home
I can't help myself your lovin bout to drive me mad
One more night like last night, I might have to pack my bags
Bout to make me leave home boy
Got my mind so
Gettin together with this love, boy it just ain't right
I ain't got the strength to turn a good lovin loose
But I never met a man in my life who could whoop it to me like you do
Bout to make me leave home boy
Got a taste of forbidden fruit
And I can't turn it loose
What is this good thing you carry around with you
That makes a girl want to act a fool
Got that love technique that really really cracks me up
Seeing you once or twice a week, boy it just ain't enough.
It could ever make me, think about leaving home
I can't help myself your lovin bout to drive me mad
One more night like last night, I might have to pack my bags
Bout to make me leave home boy
Got my mind so
Gettin together with this love, boy it just ain't right
I ain't got the strength to turn a good lovin loose
But I never met a man in my life who could whoop it to me like you do
Bout to make me leave home boy
Got a taste of forbidden fruit
And I can't turn it loose
What is this good thing you carry around with you
That makes a girl want to act a fool
Got that love technique that really really cracks me up
Seeing you once or twice a week, boy it just ain't enough.
Runaway Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as still walk on I think of the things we've done
Together while our hearts were young
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel a pain
Wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I wo wo wo wo wonder
Why, why why why why why she (you) ran away
And I wonder where she (you) will stay
My little runaway, a run run run run runaway
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as still walk on I think of the things we've done
Together while our hearts were young
I'm a walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel a pain
Wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I wo wo wo wo wonder
Why, why why why why why she (you) ran away
And I wonder where she (you) will stay
My little runaway, a run run run run runaway
Two Lives Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Maybe I'm a dreamer
Maybe just a fool
Lately I can hardly see the sun
If you had a secret I could take a guess
Nothin in your eyes seems to hold me
Truth or consequences
Which one will it be
Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But, I believe whoever wrote that song,
Never had a broken heart
One of us is hiding
One of us can tell
Cause no one likes to be the first to know
Someone has to answer
Cause someone has to ask
Keeping on like this is torture
And going undecided is twice as bad for sure
Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But, I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart
Maybe just a fool
Lately I can hardly see the sun
If you had a secret I could take a guess
Nothin in your eyes seems to hold me
Truth or consequences
Which one will it be
Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But, I believe whoever wrote that song,
Never had a broken heart
One of us is hiding
One of us can tell
Cause no one likes to be the first to know
Someone has to answer
Cause someone has to ask
Keeping on like this is torture
And going undecided is twice as bad for sure
Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But, I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart
Louise Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
They all said 'Louise was not half bad'
It was written on the walls & window shades
And how she'd act
A little girl
The deceiver, don't believe her,
That's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
Flowers, and maybe some lace
Men bought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
Everybody thought it kind of sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd all put her down
Below their kind
Still some cried when she died
That afternoon
Louise rode home on a mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard them say
'It's too bad it ended so ugly,
It's too bad she had to go that'
But the wind is blowin' cold tonight
Goodnight Louise, Goodnight
Yes, the winds' blowin' cold tonight
Goodnight Louise, good-night...
It was written on the walls & window shades
And how she'd act
A little girl
The deceiver, don't believe her,
That's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
Flowers, and maybe some lace
Men bought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
Everybody thought it kind of sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd all put her down
Below their kind
Still some cried when she died
That afternoon
Louise rode home on a mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard them say
'It's too bad it ended so ugly,
It's too bad she had to go that'
But the wind is blowin' cold tonight
Goodnight Louise, Goodnight
Yes, the winds' blowin' cold tonight
Goodnight Louise, good-night...
Gamblin' Man Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Their eyes are down and the track looks slow
It don't look like a good thing
Your horse could jump it when the pack runs wild
It don't look like a sure thing
You must be crazy
To gamble this way
The kids are crying
And your bills ain't paid
Gamblin' man, ramblin' fool
I must be crazy to gamble on you
The deal is done so you slip right in
You got the depth but you can't win
The cards are cold and the cut feels thin
You got the deck but you can't win
You must be crazy
To gamble this way
The kids are hungry
And your brain ain't paid
Gamblin' man, ramblin' fool
I must be crazy to gamble on you
Gamblin' man, you're a ramblin' fool
I must be crazy to gamble on you
It don't look like a good thing
Your horse could jump it when the pack runs wild
It don't look like a sure thing
You must be crazy
To gamble this way
The kids are crying
And your bills ain't paid
Gamblin' man, ramblin' fool
I must be crazy to gamble on you
The deal is done so you slip right in
You got the depth but you can't win
The cards are cold and the cut feels thin
You got the deck but you can't win
You must be crazy
To gamble this way
The kids are hungry
And your brain ain't paid
Gamblin' man, ramblin' fool
I must be crazy to gamble on you
Gamblin' man, you're a ramblin' fool
I must be crazy to gamble on you
Sweet Forgiveness Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt

My Opening Farewell Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Baby stands before an open window
Looking so far away
He can almost feel the Southern winds blow
Gently touching his restless day
He turns from his window to me
Sad smile, his apology
Sad eyes reaching to the door
Did I lose to his to another evening
Still he spares me the words goodbye
Sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry
Suddenly it's so hard to find
The sound of the words to speak his troubled mind
So I'm offering these to him as if to be kind
There's a train every day
Leaving either way
There's a world you know
There's a way to go
I soon believe it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
A child's drawings left there on the table
And a womans silk is laying on the floor
I would keep them here if were able
To lock you safe behind this open door
Suddenly it's so clear to me
That I asked you to see what you may never see
Now my kind words find their way back to me
There's a train everyday
Leaving either way
There's a world you know
Gotta way to go
I soon believe it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
This is my opening farewell
Looking so far away
He can almost feel the Southern winds blow
Gently touching his restless day
He turns from his window to me
Sad smile, his apology
Sad eyes reaching to the door
Did I lose to his to another evening
Still he spares me the words goodbye
Sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry
Suddenly it's so hard to find
The sound of the words to speak his troubled mind
So I'm offering these to him as if to be kind
There's a train every day
Leaving either way
There's a world you know
There's a way to go
I soon believe it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
A child's drawings left there on the table
And a womans silk is laying on the floor
I would keep them here if were able
To lock you safe behind this open door
Suddenly it's so clear to me
That I asked you to see what you may never see
Now my kind words find their way back to me
There's a train everyday
Leaving either way
There's a world you know
Gotta way to go
I soon believe it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
This is my opening farewell
Three Time Loser Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
How many teardrops gonna fall tonight
How many heartaches can a woman have in one life
I lost a lover, lost a friend
Through with love I just can't win
[Chorus:]
Three time loser
Three time loser
How many hours, your love I'm gonna wait?
How many heartaches you really think I'm gonna take?
I lost a lover, lost a friend,
You were that kind, whoa You will never win.
[Chorus]
One
Two
Three
In misery
[Chorus]
How many heartaches can a woman have in one life
I lost a lover, lost a friend
Through with love I just can't win
[Chorus:]

How many hours, your love I'm gonna wait?
How many heartaches you really think I'm gonna take?
I lost a lover, lost a friend,
You were that kind, whoa You will never win.

Takin' My Time Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I'm takin' my time
So please don't rush me.
Tryin' to sort out some things I didn't know existed.
I've been here before,
I know where the traps lie.
You only take what's there 'cause the rest doesn't matter.
Well I'm tired of talk,
So please don't push me.
You know I want the same kinda things that you do.
You're wasting your time,
The way you come to me.
Slow down your rhymes and try to reason
Can't make things move any faster,
By second wishing them to death.
You seem to be living on the level.
It's decent enough,
You got what you wanted.
So why do you tell me, that I'm on the wrong track?
I'm doin' the best I can do.
I try to out guess
The situation
That I know your not even fully aware of.
And I want you to know,
If it keeps on this way,
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.
So please don't rush me.
Tryin' to sort out some things I didn't know existed.
I've been here before,
I know where the traps lie.
You only take what's there 'cause the rest doesn't matter.
Well I'm tired of talk,
So please don't push me.
You know I want the same kinda things that you do.
You're wasting your time,
The way you come to me.
Slow down your rhymes and try to reason
Can't make things move any faster,
By second wishing them to death.
You seem to be living on the level.
It's decent enough,
You got what you wanted.
So why do you tell me, that I'm on the wrong track?
I'm doin' the best I can do.
I try to out guess
The situation
That I know your not even fully aware of.
And I want you to know,
If it keeps on this way,
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.
Home Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Traveling at night, the headlights were bright
And we'd been up many an hour
And all through my brain
Came the refrain
Of home and it's warming fire
[Chorus:]
And Home
Sings me of sweet things
My life there has it's own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I'm standing still
The people I've seen
They come in between
The cities of tiring life
The trains come and go,
But inside you know
The struggle will soon be a fight
[Chorus]
Traveling at night,
The headlights were bright.
But soon the sun came through the trees
Around the next bend
The flowers will send
The sweet scene of home in the breeze
[Chorus]
And we'd been up many an hour
And all through my brain
Came the refrain
Of home and it's warming fire
[Chorus:]
And Home
Sings me of sweet things
My life there has it's own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I'm standing still
The people I've seen
They come in between
The cities of tiring life
The trains come and go,
But inside you know
The struggle will soon be a fight
[Chorus]
Traveling at night,
The headlights were bright.
But soon the sun came through the trees
Around the next bend
The flowers will send
The sweet scene of home in the breeze
[Chorus]
What Do You Want The Boy To Do? Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
So you think the man is crazy
He eats up your lies like they're good for him
Apple pie
He don't even cry
He is not a fool
He's just tryin' to do what his heart says to
To love you
As you take to the wind (to the wind again my friend)
As he breaks down within (within within wthin)
[Chorus:]
He waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally
What do you want the boy to do?
Don't you see you're breaking the child in two?
What do you want the boy to do?
All he really wants is you...
He knows what you are
Still he'll be your game (say the word today)
You'll know better (build a world around him)
Now and then you'll promise
All the way-out things that you're gonna get
(You will see, you will be
so damn glad that you finally found him free to go)
As he watches you come and go (for your show)
As he watches your promises zero (zero zero zero)
He waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally
What do you want the boy to do?
Don't you see you're breaking the child in two?
What do you want the boy to do?
Don't you see that you're breaking the child in two?...
[Chorus]
He eats up your lies like they're good for him
Apple pie
He don't even cry
He is not a fool
He's just tryin' to do what his heart says to
To love you
As you take to the wind (to the wind again my friend)
As he breaks down within (within within wthin)
[Chorus:]
He waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally
What do you want the boy to do?
Don't you see you're breaking the child in two?
What do you want the boy to do?
All he really wants is you...
He knows what you are
Still he'll be your game (say the word today)
You'll know better (build a world around him)
Now and then you'll promise
All the way-out things that you're gonna get
(You will see, you will be
so damn glad that you finally found him free to go)
As he watches you come and go (for your show)
As he watches your promises zero (zero zero zero)
He waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally
What do you want the boy to do?
Don't you see you're breaking the child in two?
What do you want the boy to do?
Don't you see that you're breaking the child in two?...

Good Enough Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
The first time I brought you home
My mama said he ain't good enough
I don't want my girl to be alone
But I wonder is he good enough
I-I-I was doin some worryin' too
And I was thinkin' thinkin'
Am I good enough for you
The first time that I loved you
I know it was a little rough
But when at last we were still
You asked was it good enough
And I cried and looked in your eyes of blue
Cause I been prayin' prayin'
I was good enough for you
Good enough for you
Now I got to set your mind at ease
Got to stop your insecurities
Cause if anything
You're too good for me
Now it's strange how time's gone by
Since the day that we fell in love
And still some times we hafta ask ourselves
Was it good enough
And time is bound to make us see
Just how good
Good enough can be
Good enough can be
Good enough for you baby
Good enough for me
Now, It won't be long
Good enough for me
Keep me warm, baby
For me
Good enough for me
My mama said he ain't good enough
I don't want my girl to be alone
But I wonder is he good enough
I-I-I was doin some worryin' too
And I was thinkin' thinkin'
Am I good enough for you
The first time that I loved you
I know it was a little rough
But when at last we were still
You asked was it good enough
And I cried and looked in your eyes of blue
Cause I been prayin' prayin'
I was good enough for you
Good enough for you
Now I got to set your mind at ease
Got to stop your insecurities
Cause if anything
You're too good for me
Now it's strange how time's gone by
Since the day that we fell in love
And still some times we hafta ask ourselves
Was it good enough
And time is bound to make us see
Just how good
Good enough can be
Good enough can be
Good enough for you baby
Good enough for me
Now, It won't be long
Good enough for me
Keep me warm, baby
For me
Good enough for me
My First Night Alone Without You Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
There is an aching in my head
From the bed I can't get used to
It's these little hours in the dark, I dread
As I spend my first night alone without you
Honey, half of me has gone away
With all the love I learned to cling to
Tomorrow I'll have to find another way
To live the rest of my life alone without you
You taught me how to live
How to be myself
And how to give
Oh, but now it's you
Who's given up on giving
You've lost the thing, no one to teach
Changing and now you're out of reach
And my life tonight just don't seem worth living
No, no
I've been sitting learning how to read
Cause back in school I never liked to
It's just one of those little things I'm gonna need
As I put my life together, baby, without you
From the bed I can't get used to
It's these little hours in the dark, I dread
As I spend my first night alone without you
Honey, half of me has gone away
With all the love I learned to cling to
Tomorrow I'll have to find another way
To live the rest of my life alone without you
You taught me how to live
How to be myself
And how to give
Oh, but now it's you
Who's given up on giving
You've lost the thing, no one to teach
Changing and now you're out of reach
And my life tonight just don't seem worth living
No, no
I've been sitting learning how to read
Cause back in school I never liked to
It's just one of those little things I'm gonna need
As I put my life together, baby, without you
Run Like A Thief Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Well it was alright at midnight and you fell out at three
So I made you warm and stoked the dying fire
When it all came down this morning you were lying next to me
How sweet the wine of desire
Well we cheated on a friend and cheaters never win
Oh the truth I know would be a small relief
I could never be the one to say
Her best friend took you down
Gonna run in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Just ain't no use think it over I was blind but now I see
Well she's coming back and I know just what I'll do
If it comes right down to you leaving her or staying here with me
How sweet the memory of you
Well we cheated on a friend and it looks like I lose again
I could never be the one to say
Her best friend took you down
I'd rather run in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Like a thief in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
So I made you warm and stoked the dying fire
When it all came down this morning you were lying next to me
How sweet the wine of desire
Well we cheated on a friend and cheaters never win
Oh the truth I know would be a small relief
I could never be the one to say
Her best friend took you down
Gonna run in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Just ain't no use think it over I was blind but now I see
Well she's coming back and I know just what I'll do
If it comes right down to you leaving her or staying here with me
How sweet the memory of you
Well we cheated on a friend and it looks like I lose again
I could never be the one to say
Her best friend took you down
I'd rather run in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Like a thief in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Fool Yourself Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Lookout boy your bound to change
You can't ever stay the same
Cause if ya keep on sayin the same ol'lies
Your gonna look around boy and find
Yourself outta time
Watchout girl the words you say
Don't really fit the play
Somebody else you might talk to now
And knows what ya say and what ya mean
But don't help this time
[Chorus:]
You might say that you ain't
Got a, hold on yourself
You might say that you only try your best
You might say that you only need a rest
You might say you can only fool yourself
Fool yourself, fool yourself
Don't believe the words you read
Their written on the street
Every time you try to lay their game
Their gonna knock you down
And take your pride away
See how bad you need to cry
But no matter how hard you try
Its the same old story once again
You always hide from the one
Who calls you friend
I call you friend
[Chorus]
Fool yourself [4x]
You can't ever stay the same
Cause if ya keep on sayin the same ol'lies
Your gonna look around boy and find
Yourself outta time
Watchout girl the words you say
Don't really fit the play
Somebody else you might talk to now
And knows what ya say and what ya mean
But don't help this time
[Chorus:]
You might say that you ain't
Got a, hold on yourself
You might say that you only try your best
You might say that you only need a rest
You might say you can only fool yourself
Fool yourself, fool yourself
Don't believe the words you read
Their written on the street
Every time you try to lay their game
Their gonna knock you down
And take your pride away
See how bad you need to cry
But no matter how hard you try
Its the same old story once again
You always hide from the one
Who calls you friend
I call you friend
[Chorus]
Fool yourself [4x]
Walk Out The Front Door Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I can't, I can't make love to your memory
I can't put my arms, around what used to be
Everything I had, was apart of me
Well you went and it walked out that front door with you
My friends tell me, it'll be alright
But my friends never, no, never held you close at night
Every dream I had, that could see the light
Well you went and it walked out the front door with you
Well you went and it walked out that front door with you
I never knew, I never thought that you'd take my love and tear it apart
I gave you my best, when I gave you my heart
Oh, are you listening? Or is this all in vain? yeah...
I still can't believe, you're never comin' back again
Everything I had, oh, except my pain
Well you went and it walked out the front door with you
Well you went and it walked out that front door with you... hey... yeah...
Well you went and it walked... well you went and it walked...
Right out the front door with you
Well you went and it walked right out
Never comin' back no more
Right out
I can't put my arms, around what used to be
Everything I had, was apart of me
Well you went and it walked out that front door with you
My friends tell me, it'll be alright
But my friends never, no, never held you close at night
Every dream I had, that could see the light
Well you went and it walked out the front door with you
Well you went and it walked out that front door with you
I never knew, I never thought that you'd take my love and tear it apart
I gave you my best, when I gave you my heart
Oh, are you listening? Or is this all in vain? yeah...
I still can't believe, you're never comin' back again
Everything I had, oh, except my pain
Well you went and it walked out the front door with you
Well you went and it walked out that front door with you... hey... yeah...
Well you went and it walked... well you went and it walked...
Right out the front door with you
Well you went and it walked right out
Never comin' back no more
Right out
Sugar Mama Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Sittin here worryin'
While your lookin to find yourself
Somebody else
Me lovin' you and wantin' you baby
And you not knowin' what you want yourself
Why do you treat me so mean
It hurts so bad
All you wanna do is just sit around and jive
You dont' even know this woman's alive
Sittin' here worryin'
Knowin' your liikin' to find yourself
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
You can't have love when your keepin' score
All you pretty boys used to catch my eye
I just want a man I can satisfy
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
[Instrumental break]
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
You can't have love when your keepin' score
All you pretty boys used to catch my eye
I just want a man I can satisfy
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
While your lookin to find yourself
Somebody else
Me lovin' you and wantin' you baby
And you not knowin' what you want yourself
Why do you treat me so mean
It hurts so bad
All you wanna do is just sit around and jive
You dont' even know this woman's alive
Sittin' here worryin'
Knowin' your liikin' to find yourself
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
You can't have love when your keepin' score
All you pretty boys used to catch my eye
I just want a man I can satisfy
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
[Instrumental break]
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
You can't have love when your keepin' score
All you pretty boys used to catch my eye
I just want a man I can satisfy
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
Pleasin' Each Other Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
You remind me, you remind me
That it's a trick to know you.
I don't even know
How, I fel in love with you.
Was it your eyes, or was it your clothes,
Was the way you greeted me when the sun rolls, the sun rolls.
I was lonely when I first called you.
We were kids just foolin' with lovin'
You took me in, and you didn't even know me or my games.
I was out on the road, acting a lady
I was with him for one night for some love and a song
Then you came along, you don't care about money
You don't care about time,
And ourlove just keeps rolling, rolling along
Say hey don't you worry,
Cause we can get along
If were pleasin' each other
Pleasin'each other, pleasin' each other,
Can't be wrong.
[Repeat twice]
That it's a trick to know you.
I don't even know
How, I fel in love with you.
Was it your eyes, or was it your clothes,
Was the way you greeted me when the sun rolls, the sun rolls.
I was lonely when I first called you.
We were kids just foolin' with lovin'
You took me in, and you didn't even know me or my games.
I was out on the road, acting a lady
I was with him for one night for some love and a song
Then you came along, you don't care about money
You don't care about time,
And ourlove just keeps rolling, rolling along
Say hey don't you worry,
Cause we can get along
If were pleasin' each other
Pleasin'each other, pleasin' each other,
Can't be wrong.
[Repeat twice]
I'm Blowin Away Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I've been romanced and dined and danced
Crazy nights and wild times
But life has lost its mystery
And love is blind and cannot find me
[Chorus:]
I'm blowin' away
And shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowin' away
These shadows keep takin' my love and leavin' me
I have cast aside my foolish pride
I'm goin' down for the last time
I have searched this earth and sailed these seas
But love is blind and cannot find me
[Chorus 2x]
Crazy nights and wild times
But life has lost its mystery
And love is blind and cannot find me
[Chorus:]
I'm blowin' away
And shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowin' away
These shadows keep takin' my love and leavin' me
I have cast aside my foolish pride
I'm goin' down for the last time
I have searched this earth and sailed these seas
But love is blind and cannot find me
[Chorus 2x]
Sweet And Shiny Eyes Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me
In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
Drinking salty marguaritas with fernando
Young and wild
We drove 900 miles of texas highway
To the mexican border
As the day was comin' on
We crossed the rio grande river
And we swore we'd have things our way
When we happened to walk in to nuevo leon
Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me
In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
And we're having our picture taken
With fernando
Are like the stars above laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me
In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
Drinking salty marguaritas with fernando
Young and wild
We drove 900 miles of texas highway
To the mexican border
As the day was comin' on
We crossed the rio grande river
And we swore we'd have things our way
When we happened to walk in to nuevo leon
Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me
In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
And we're having our picture taken
With fernando
That Song About The Midway Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Met you on a midaway at a fair last year
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear
You were playing on the horses
You were playing on the guitar strings
You were playing like the devil wearing wings
Wearing wings, you looked so grand, wearing wings
Do you tie them to your shoulders just to sing
Can you fly? I hear you can! Can you fly?
Just like an eagle doin' his hunting from the sky
I followed through a sideshow to another town
And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds
You were betting on some lover, shootin' out the dice
And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice
Once or twice, I heard ya did, once or twice
Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price
Now you've packed it in, I heard you did, packed it in
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew you could win?
Lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news
And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
The man calls out the numbers...he sometimes mentions mine
But I feel like I've been working overtime
Overtime, I've lost my fire, overtime
And I envy you the valley that you've found
'Cause I'm midway down the midway
Slowin' down
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear
You were playing on the horses
You were playing on the guitar strings
You were playing like the devil wearing wings
Wearing wings, you looked so grand, wearing wings
Do you tie them to your shoulders just to sing
Can you fly? I hear you can! Can you fly?
Just like an eagle doin' his hunting from the sky
I followed through a sideshow to another town
And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds
You were betting on some lover, shootin' out the dice
And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice
Once or twice, I heard ya did, once or twice
Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price
Now you've packed it in, I heard you did, packed it in
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew you could win?
Lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news
And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
The man calls out the numbers...he sometimes mentions mine
But I feel like I've been working overtime
Overtime, I've lost my fire, overtime
And I envy you the valley that you've found
'Cause I'm midway down the midway
Slowin' down
Rainy Day Man Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
What good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
Well it looks like another fall
My friends they don't help at all
And I'm feeling kind of cold and small
Think I'll look up my rainy day man
And it does me no good to pretend
When he's made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like I lose again my friend
Guess I'll have to look up my rainy day man
Rainy day man
He don't like sunshine
Don't chase rainbows
He don't need good times
Grey days roll in
And then you'll see him
It's an empty feelin'
Now I need him
All those noble thoughts they don't belong
If you can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since I knew where I stood all along
Think I'll look up my rainy day man
Simple pleasures all evade you
And the store-bought treasures none can save you
Look for signs to ease the pain
I said, ask again
Why don't you pray for rain
Oh, it looks like another fall
And my friends they don't help at all
And I'm feeling kind of cold and small
Think I'll look up my rainy day man
All I have to do is look at my baby
Look up my rainy day man
Oooo, look up my rainy day man
All I have to do
Is look up my rainy day man...
All you wanted from the start was to cry
Well it looks like another fall
My friends they don't help at all
And I'm feeling kind of cold and small
Think I'll look up my rainy day man
And it does me no good to pretend
When he's made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like I lose again my friend
Guess I'll have to look up my rainy day man
Rainy day man
He don't like sunshine
Don't chase rainbows
He don't need good times
Grey days roll in
And then you'll see him
It's an empty feelin'
Now I need him
All those noble thoughts they don't belong
If you can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since I knew where I stood all along
Think I'll look up my rainy day man
Simple pleasures all evade you
And the store-bought treasures none can save you
Look for signs to ease the pain
I said, ask again
Why don't you pray for rain
Oh, it looks like another fall
And my friends they don't help at all
And I'm feeling kind of cold and small
Think I'll look up my rainy day man
All I have to do is look at my baby
Look up my rainy day man
Oooo, look up my rainy day man
All I have to do
Is look up my rainy day man...
Angel From Montgomery Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
An old man is another
Child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder
Lightning was desire
This old house it would've burned down
A long time ago
[Chorus:]
Make me an angel
That flies from montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That i can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
When i was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
It wasn't much to look at
It was a free ramblin' man
There was a long time
No matter how i tried
The years they just rolled by
Like a broken down dance
[Chorus]
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And i ain't done nothing since i woke up today
But how the hell can a person
Go on to work in the morning
To come home in the evening
And have nothing to say
[Chorus]
Named after my mother
An old man is another
Child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder
Lightning was desire
This old house it would've burned down
A long time ago
[Chorus:]
Make me an angel
That flies from montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That i can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
When i was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
It wasn't much to look at
It was a free ramblin' man
There was a long time
No matter how i tried
The years they just rolled by
Like a broken down dance
[Chorus]
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And i ain't done nothing since i woke up today
But how the hell can a person
Go on to work in the morning
To come home in the evening
And have nothing to say
[Chorus]
What Is Success Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
How does one decide
That the methods he's using,
They just don't jive
To truly believe and keep trying
Over and over again
Living in hopes,
That someday you'll be in with the winners
When will one change his mind
And jump the fence
For the dial a sign
Its a sad thing, its a bad thing
But so necessary
Living in hopes,
That someday you'll be in with the winners
Now what, what, (I don't know, can you tell me what)
What is success?
Is it do your own thing?
Or to join the rest
And if you truly believe it,
And try over and over again
Living in hopes
That someday you'll be in with the winners
Oooh, tell me what it is
Sweet success
Oooh, tell me what it is
Sweet success
That the methods he's using,
They just don't jive
To truly believe and keep trying
Over and over again
Living in hopes,
That someday you'll be in with the winners
When will one change his mind
And jump the fence
For the dial a sign
Its a sad thing, its a bad thing
But so necessary
Living in hopes,
That someday you'll be in with the winners
Now what, what, (I don't know, can you tell me what)
What is success?
Is it do your own thing?
Or to join the rest
And if you truly believe it,
And try over and over again
Living in hopes
That someday you'll be in with the winners
Oooh, tell me what it is
Sweet success
Oooh, tell me what it is
Sweet success
Ain't Nobody Home Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Once upon a time, a long long time ago,
wherever you would lead me, I would surely follow
Boy, you put me through some pain and misery
And now you are standing at my doorstep,
Telling me how much you need me
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
How many times I begged for you to come home,
But you laughed at me and said to let you alone
Through my falling tears I saw you walk away
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you,
But this time, baby, it's your turn to pay
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Boy, I used to love you,
I placed no one else above you
Gave you everything that I owned
But baby you can't come back here
'cause there ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Once upon a time, when you went on your way
How I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day
But time has made some changes, and turned me upside down
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you,
But this time, baby, you can turn right around
'Cause there ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
wherever you would lead me, I would surely follow
Boy, you put me through some pain and misery
And now you are standing at my doorstep,
Telling me how much you need me
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
How many times I begged for you to come home,
But you laughed at me and said to let you alone
Through my falling tears I saw you walk away
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you,
But this time, baby, it's your turn to pay
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Boy, I used to love you,
I placed no one else above you
Gave you everything that I owned
But baby you can't come back here
'cause there ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Once upon a time, when you went on your way
How I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day
But time has made some changes, and turned me upside down
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you,
But this time, baby, you can turn right around
'Cause there ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Everything That Touches You Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
You say you're all alone
With visions all your own
The things you feel nobody feels the same
But you know me
You know what I've been through
And everything that touches me
And everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you
Friends along the road
May lighten up your load
By sayin' what they think you really want to hear
But I'll only tell you
What I feel is true
And everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
And everything that touches me
Touches you
Share, 'cause I can't take you there
Unless I know a part of what you're thinking
Care, 'cause it's only fair
Darlin' can't you feel my heart is breaking
My heart is breaking
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you...
With visions all your own
The things you feel nobody feels the same
But you know me
You know what I've been through
And everything that touches me
And everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you
Friends along the road
May lighten up your load
By sayin' what they think you really want to hear
But I'll only tell you
What I feel is true
And everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
And everything that touches me
Touches you
Share, 'cause I can't take you there
Unless I know a part of what you're thinking
Care, 'cause it's only fair
Darlin' can't you feel my heart is breaking
My heart is breaking
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you...
Got You On My Mind Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I saw you this mornin'
Though you were nowhere in sight
But I've got to admit
That the thought of you hangs around me
Like a hand on my shoulder, like a fly on my nose
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
Well I tried to catch the moon in a butterfly net
But I tripped and it slipped from my hand
And it fell into the sea
But at least I know where the moon is hiding
And just like the moon
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
Now some nights I'll be sitting at home
Starin' at some old magazines
And I wonder could somebody tell me
Whatever happened to those back seat plans
Did they drive off with the man?
I tell you, a girl stays single 'cause she don't like men
Or maybe she likes them too much
Me, I like them not too much or too little
But times were easy and so was I
Was I in love with you or just in love with love...?
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
[Instrumental break]
Got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
There were days when I was feelin' so low
Brought us close as no good times could
There were moments so full of understanding
And I couldn't bear to see them end
Ooo, I'd like to be in love again
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
Said, I gotchu, can't seem to get you off my mind
I got you on my mind
Just like a hand on my shoulder, like a fly on my nose
I got you on my mind...
Though you were nowhere in sight
But I've got to admit
That the thought of you hangs around me
Like a hand on my shoulder, like a fly on my nose
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
Well I tried to catch the moon in a butterfly net
But I tripped and it slipped from my hand
And it fell into the sea
But at least I know where the moon is hiding
And just like the moon
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
Now some nights I'll be sitting at home
Starin' at some old magazines
And I wonder could somebody tell me
Whatever happened to those back seat plans
Did they drive off with the man?
I tell you, a girl stays single 'cause she don't like men
Or maybe she likes them too much
Me, I like them not too much or too little
But times were easy and so was I
Was I in love with you or just in love with love...?
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
[Instrumental break]
Got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
There were days when I was feelin' so low
Brought us close as no good times could
There were moments so full of understanding
And I couldn't bear to see them end
Ooo, I'd like to be in love again
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
Said, I gotchu, can't seem to get you off my mind
I got you on my mind
Just like a hand on my shoulder, like a fly on my nose
I got you on my mind...

You got to get ready
You got to stay ready
If you wanna be mine (be ready baby)
You've Been In Love Too Long Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Girls, you've been in love too long
I said girls, you've been in love too long
When just his smile takes all your pain away
And you find yourself believin' whatever he may say
Now when he gets you cryin'
But your heart tells you Girl keep right on tryin'
You know Girls, you've been in love too long
[Chorus:] You're a fool for your baby
[Bonnie:] Girls, you've been in love too long
[Chorus:] You're a fool for your baby
When you accepted wrongs, just to share his kiss
Even your lonely nights, you know they're filled with happiness
You know Girl you're in trouble
You know your... heart is seein' double
Cuz when you're head tells you to run
But your heart tells you "Girl he's the only one.."
You know you have:been in love too long
Cuz when a week of loneliness can be erased with just one sweet caress
Girl... You've been in love too long
When his wrong looks right though he always treats you bad
You find little excuses for all the sadness and abuses
I said girls, you've been in love too long
When just his smile takes all your pain away
And you find yourself believin' whatever he may say
Now when he gets you cryin'
But your heart tells you Girl keep right on tryin'
You know Girls, you've been in love too long
[Chorus:] You're a fool for your baby
[Bonnie:] Girls, you've been in love too long
[Chorus:] You're a fool for your baby
When you accepted wrongs, just to share his kiss
Even your lonely nights, you know they're filled with happiness
You know Girl you're in trouble
You know your... heart is seein' double
Cuz when you're head tells you to run
But your heart tells you "Girl he's the only one.."
You know you have:been in love too long
Cuz when a week of loneliness can be erased with just one sweet caress
Girl... You've been in love too long
When his wrong looks right though he always treats you bad
You find little excuses for all the sadness and abuses
I Gave My Love A Candle Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I gave my love a candle
A promise at life
And I told him when my number comes up
Winds would fill the sky
Me I'm fixin' to die
Moving down that same lonesome road
No I don't know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You didn't have to fool me
You didn't have to lie
My love comes around like a thief in the night
But only love can make you cry
And we have walked side by side
Moving down that same lonesome road
No I don't know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Your love was like a diamond ride a wave
On a sea that calms my mind
Moving onward to a distant shore
Where the boats sail in a line
We have danced to a fateful rhyme
Moving down the same lonesome road
No I don't know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You didn't have to fool me, no
You didn't have to lie
If it all came out so ugly
It's only my love that could make you cry
And we have walked side by side
Moving down that same lonesome road
And I still don't know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Ooh ooh ooh
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
A promise at life
And I told him when my number comes up
Winds would fill the sky
Me I'm fixin' to die
Moving down that same lonesome road
No I don't know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You didn't have to fool me
You didn't have to lie
My love comes around like a thief in the night
But only love can make you cry
And we have walked side by side
Moving down that same lonesome road
No I don't know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Your love was like a diamond ride a wave
On a sea that calms my mind
Moving onward to a distant shore
Where the boats sail in a line
We have danced to a fateful rhyme
Moving down the same lonesome road
No I don't know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You didn't have to fool me, no
You didn't have to lie
If it all came out so ugly
It's only my love that could make you cry
And we have walked side by side
Moving down that same lonesome road
And I still don't know why
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Ooh ooh ooh
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Everybody's Cryin' Mercy Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I don't believe the things I'm seein'
I've been wonderin' 'bout some things I've heard
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as soon as there's business first
Toe to toe, touch and go
Give a cheer and get your own souvenir
Well you know the people running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war
Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite
You don't have to go to off-broadway
To see something plain absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
I've been wonderin' 'bout some things I've heard
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as soon as there's business first
Toe to toe, touch and go
Give a cheer and get your own souvenir
Well you know the people running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war
Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite
You don't have to go to off-broadway
To see something plain absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
Cry Like A Rainstorm Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Life isn't easy
Love never lasts
You just carry on
And keep moving fast
I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
I'm fancy free darlin'
And I've travelled round
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
Tell me where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind
So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind
My thoughts are lost in memories
That keep me free
Know if all the stars were shining
They would not help me see
Don't you know that
Sometimes I'm up
Most times down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
You cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Well my life isn't easy
And my love never seems to last
So I'll keep on carrying on darlin'
I'll just keep moving fast
I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
And I'm still fancy free
And I keep travellin' round
Sometimes I'm up
Most times I'm down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Love never lasts
You just carry on
And keep moving fast
I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
I'm fancy free darlin'
And I've travelled round
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
Tell me where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind
So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind
My thoughts are lost in memories
That keep me free
Know if all the stars were shining
They would not help me see
Don't you know that
Sometimes I'm up
Most times down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
You cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Well my life isn't easy
And my love never seems to last
So I'll keep on carrying on darlin'
I'll just keep moving fast
I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
And I'm still fancy free
And I keep travellin' round
Sometimes I'm up
Most times I'm down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
I Feel The Same Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Say goodbye,
Well I know it's true.
I know you're leaving me but i,
I'm leaving too.
You won't forget me,
Or the sound of my name.
Please believe me,
I feel the same.
It seems so empty now.
Clo-ose the door.
Ain't it hard to believe that you ever,
Lived this way before.
All that nothing,
Causes all that pain.
Please believe me,
I feel the same.
[Guitar break]
Well this broken soul,
That I know a, a heart that's breakin'.
You can't make it whole
Until you know what has been taken.
And all those pieces,
Uh that you find them all your own.
[Guitar fills in the missing tag lyric]
I said goodbye.
Now you know it's true.
You said you're leaving me, but honey i,
I'm leaving too.
You won't forget me
Or the sound of my name.
Please believe me,
I feel the same.
Please believe me,
I feel the same.
[Guitar break, and fade]
Well I know it's true.
I know you're leaving me but i,
I'm leaving too.
You won't forget me,
Or the sound of my name.
Please believe me,
I feel the same.
It seems so empty now.
Clo-ose the door.
Ain't it hard to believe that you ever,
Lived this way before.
All that nothing,
Causes all that pain.
Please believe me,
I feel the same.
[Guitar break]
Well this broken soul,
That I know a, a heart that's breakin'.
You can't make it whole
Until you know what has been taken.
And all those pieces,
Uh that you find them all your own.
[Guitar fills in the missing tag lyric]
I said goodbye.
Now you know it's true.
You said you're leaving me, but honey i,
I'm leaving too.
You won't forget me
Or the sound of my name.
Please believe me,
I feel the same.
Please believe me,
I feel the same.

I Thought I Was A Child Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
It's such a clever innocence with which you do your sorcery
As if somehow the years just bow and let that young girl go free
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowing
And came upon the wisdom in your eyes
Surprise
I've spent my whole life running 'round
Chasing songs from town to town
Thinking I'd be free so long as I never let love slow me down
So lonely and so wild until you turned and smiled
By now I should have long been gone
But here I am still looking on
As if I didn't know which way to run
It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought that I was free but I'm just one more prisoner of time
Alone within the boundaries of my mind
I thought I was a child
As if somehow the years just bow and let that young girl go free
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowing
And came upon the wisdom in your eyes
Surprise
I've spent my whole life running 'round
Chasing songs from town to town
Thinking I'd be free so long as I never let love slow me down
So lonely and so wild until you turned and smiled
By now I should have long been gone
But here I am still looking on
As if I didn't know which way to run
It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought that I was free but I'm just one more prisoner of time
Alone within the boundaries of my mind
I thought I was a child
Write Me A Few Of Your Lines / Kokomo Blues Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
When you get home baby
Write me a few of your lines
When you get home little baby
Write me a few of your lines
That'll be consolation
Lord honey oh my worried mind

Standin' in the backdoor cryin'
Well I left my little baby
Standing in the backdoor cryin'

Lord honey till he said goodbye
Kokomo me baby

Kokomo your mama,
She'll be back tomorrow night
I'd like to cry in your arms tonight
Baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to lemon light city
Sweet home kokomo
Go on down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
Well I'm goin' down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
And let the way of the water
Lord honey wash my troubles down
Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right

Guilty Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Yeah baby, I've been drinking,
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling,
And I had nowhere else to go
Got some whiskey from a bar man,
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on moving,
Till I was back in your arms again
Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty,
I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I never do,
What I'm supposed to do
How come nothing that I try to do ever turns out right
Well you know how it is with me baby,
You know I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine,
For me to pretend to be somebody else.
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling,
And I had nowhere else to go
Got some whiskey from a bar man,
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on moving,
Till I was back in your arms again
Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty,
I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I never do,
What I'm supposed to do
How come nothing that I try to do ever turns out right
Well you know how it is with me baby,
You know I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine,
For me to pretend to be somebody else.
Give It Up Or Let Me Go Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Well, I told you pretty baby, such a long time ago,
If I found you with another, well I'd walk right out your door,
Woh, you might call me crazy, but there's one thing you should know,
Oh honey, if you want me to love you,
You've got to give it up or let me go.
I know it's useless to be jealous, I couldn't tire you if I tried,
But when I think of you messing behind my back
It brings a pain I just can't hide.
Oh baby, I've been true to you.
And if I can make that sacrifice, honey you can do it too.
Well, you come home drunk and nasty, you won't tell me where you've been.
Just when things are nice and sweet, you go back out again.
Why do you wanna mess up a good thing?
I'm gonna find me another man, one who wants to give me everything.
Well, I told you pretty baby, such a long time ago,
If I found you with another, well I'd walk right out your door.
Woh, you might call me crazy, but there's one thing you should know.
Oh honey, if you want me to love you,
You've got to give it up or let me go.
If I found you with another, well I'd walk right out your door,
Woh, you might call me crazy, but there's one thing you should know,
Oh honey, if you want me to love you,
You've got to give it up or let me go.
I know it's useless to be jealous, I couldn't tire you if I tried,
But when I think of you messing behind my back
It brings a pain I just can't hide.
Oh baby, I've been true to you.
And if I can make that sacrifice, honey you can do it too.
Well, you come home drunk and nasty, you won't tell me where you've been.
Just when things are nice and sweet, you go back out again.
Why do you wanna mess up a good thing?
I'm gonna find me another man, one who wants to give me everything.
Well, I told you pretty baby, such a long time ago,

Woh, you might call me crazy, but there's one thing you should know.
Oh honey, if you want me to love you,
You've got to give it up or let me go.
Nothing Seems To Matter Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Seems like such a long time since I held you my arms,
And felt you close and warm beside me,
Another night is getting late and I'm alone with just the ache
And the memory of you beside me.
Darling, I've never been so blue,
I've tried to see it through,
There's nothing I can do.
I won't make it on my own,
So won't you please hurry home,
'cause nothing seems to matter without you.
Last time I saw you,
There was nothing we could say,
We knew it was a time for a change,
A time to think you said that night,
And I lied and said all right,
I left you in the morning,
I watched you in the window,
And Mexico will never be the same.
It was time to be apart,
But somehow it seems this heart of mine,
Will never find a way to live without you.
And now I'm out here on the road
And I'm feeling bought and sold,
And tonight I just can't but think about you.
Darling, I've never been so blue,
I've tried to see it through,
There's nothing I can do,
I won't make it on my own
So darling won't you hurry home,
Because nothing seems to matter without you.
No, nothing seems to matter without you.
And felt you close and warm beside me,
Another night is getting late and I'm alone with just the ache
And the memory of you beside me.
Darling, I've never been so blue,
I've tried to see it through,
There's nothing I can do.
I won't make it on my own,
So won't you please hurry home,
'cause nothing seems to matter without you.
Last time I saw you,
There was nothing we could say,
We knew it was a time for a change,
A time to think you said that night,
And I lied and said all right,

And Mexico will never be the same.
It was time to be apart,
But somehow it seems this heart of mine,
Will never find a way to live without you.
And now I'm out here on the road
And I'm feeling bought and sold,
And tonight I just can't but think about you.
Darling, I've never been so blue,
I've tried to see it through,
There's nothing I can do,
I won't make it on my own
So darling won't you hurry home,
Because nothing seems to matter without you.
No, nothing seems to matter without you.
I Know Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I know you don't love me no more;
No, no more; and I don't
(don't) wanna be hurted any more,
Any more; yeah, yeah,
I've loved so hard, everything I did was no joy; if I can't
Love you right, baby, I don't have to love you at all
I know you don't want me no more, no more
No, no more
And it had to be someone loving you more
Lovin' you more
Ain't no use in me cryin' now all because you have put me down
If you don't want me no more baby, ain't no use in me hanging around.
No, no more; and I don't
(don't) wanna be hurted any more,
Any more; yeah, yeah,
I've loved so hard, everything I did was no joy; if I can't
Love you right, baby, I don't have to love you at all
I know you don't want me no more, no more
No, no more
And it had to be someone loving you more
Lovin' you more
Ain't no use in me cryin' now all because you have put me down
If you don't want me no more baby, ain't no use in me hanging around.
If You Gotta Make A Fool Of Somebody Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
If you got to make a fool of somebody
If you got to make a fool of someone
Do you really gotta hurt me
I'm the one that'll worry
[Repeat]
Daytime nitetime
Anytime at all
I'll be there waiting
Anytime you call
Just to be near you
You know
That anywhere I'll go
How could you hurt me so
If you got to make a fool of someone
Do you really gotta hurt me
I'm the one that'll worry
[Repeat]
Daytime nitetime
Anytime at all
I'll be there waiting
Anytime you call
Just to be near you
You know
That anywhere I'll go
How could you hurt me so
Love Me Like A Man Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
These men that I've been seeing, baby
Got their soul up on the shelf
You know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves
But I need someone to love me
Someone to really understand
Who won't put himself above
Who just loves me like a man
I've never seen such losers, Darlin'
Even though I tried
To find a man who could take me home
Stead of takin' me for a ride
And I need someone to love me
I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
They all want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man to rock me
Like my back bone was his own
Darlin', I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
I come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
I want a man to hold me
Not some fool to ask me why
I know you can
Don't you put yourself above me
You just love me like a man
Got their soul up on the shelf
You know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves
But I need someone to love me
Someone to really understand
Who won't put himself above
Who just loves me like a man
I've never seen such losers, Darlin'
Even though I tried
To find a man who could take me home
Stead of takin' me for a ride
And I need someone to love me
I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
They all want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man to rock me
Like my back bone was his own
Darlin', I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
I come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
I want a man to hold me
Not some fool to ask me why
I know you can
Don't you put yourself above me
You just love me like a man
Too Long At The Fair Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess he went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come & take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Well I went down to chason's
Walked 'til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' was
'til you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Well, you can give my soul to abraham
Give my soul to saul
Give my bones to canada
My feet they don't hurt at all
I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the prince of darkness
On his charger ride
The silver blade is gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin',
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
I guess he went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come & take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Well I went down to chason's
Walked 'til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' was
'til you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Well, you can give my soul to abraham
Give my soul to saul
Give my bones to canada
My feet they don't hurt at all
I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the prince of darkness
On his charger ride
The silver blade is gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin',
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Under The Falling Sky Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Warm and lovely mystery, fire smiling through
Before this moment fades away I want to know you
I've got lightening in my pocket, thunder in my shoe
Have no fear I've got something here I want to show you
Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you
It's a low road, a high wire going from me to you
And in your eyes the distance left is closing
I've got a feeling in my oceans
Blood underneath my skin
That into your bright fields this prison is opening
Our shadows wake each day though they don't know why
They hope and try - live and die
So leave them in their frozen world
Come and be my lover
If only for one stolen moment
We will live forever
Warm and lovely mystery, can you hear the choir?
Voices can no longer hold my desire
Just abandon your sad history and meet me in the fire
Angels wait to take me higher and higher
Higher and higher
Before this moment fades away I want to know you
I've got lightening in my pocket, thunder in my shoe
Have no fear I've got something here I want to show you
Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you
It's a low road, a high wire going from me to you
And in your eyes the distance left is closing
I've got a feeling in my oceans
Blood underneath my skin
That into your bright fields this prison is opening
Our shadows wake each day though they don't know why
They hope and try - live and die
So leave them in their frozen world
Come and be my lover
If only for one stolen moment
We will live forever
Warm and lovely mystery, can you hear the choir?
Voices can no longer hold my desire
Just abandon your sad history and meet me in the fire
Angels wait to take me higher and higher
Higher and higher
You Got To Know How Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
You can make me do what you wanna do
But you got to know how,
You can make me cry, you can make me sigh,
But you got to know how,
You can make me do like this, you can make me do like that,
Woh, baby, but you got to know how.
Once a pal of mine stole a guy of mine,
But I got him back, now,
It's the same old song, she couldn't keep him long,
'Cause she didn't know how.
Well, I love my man, I make him holler,
Woh, my,
Yessir, I really know how.
Technique ain't tough, if you care enough,
You can learn to know how,
I might drop a hint how to strike my flint
If you yearn to know how,
Well, don't tell me about the life you led,
Don't try to drink me into bed,
No, baby, no, that ain't the way how.
You got to take your time, you know it ain't no crime
If it lasts all night.
I think you'll be ideal when you begin to feel
That you're doin' right.
When you love me right, you hear me holler,
Woh, my,
Yessir, when you really know how.
[Instrumental break]
And if you stay with me, who knows how it will be
When we finally know how,
We'll get a house in town, no need to move around
When we really know how,
Well, there's tricks that I don't even know,
Ones we'll make up as we go.
Woh, mister, when we really know how.
Yes, mister, when we really know how.
But you got to know how,
You can make me cry, you can make me sigh,
But you got to know how,
You can make me do like this, you can make me do like that,
Woh, baby, but you got to know how.
Once a pal of mine stole a guy of mine,
But I got him back, now,
It's the same old song, she couldn't keep him long,
'Cause she didn't know how.
Well, I love my man, I make him holler,
Woh, my,
Yessir, I really know how.
Technique ain't tough, if you care enough,
You can learn to know how,
I might drop a hint how to strike my flint
If you yearn to know how,
Well, don't tell me about the life you led,
Don't try to drink me into bed,
No, baby, no, that ain't the way how.
You got to take your time, you know it ain't no crime
If it lasts all night.
I think you'll be ideal when you begin to feel
That you're doin' right.
When you love me right, you hear me holler,
Woh, my,
Yessir, when you really know how.
[Instrumental break]
And if you stay with me, who knows how it will be
When we finally know how,
We'll get a house in town, no need to move around
When we really know how,
Well, there's tricks that I don't even know,
Ones we'll make up as we go.
Woh, mister, when we really know how.
Yes, mister, when we really know how.
