Turn down the lights;
Turn down the bed.
Turn down these voices
Inside my head.
Lay down with me;
Tell me no lies.
Just hold me close;
Don't patronize.
Don't patronize me.
[Chorus:]
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't.
Here in the dark
In these final hours,
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power;
But you won't.
No, you won't.
'Cuz I can't make you love me
If you don't.
I'll close my eyes,
Then I won't see
The love you don't feel
When you're holding me.
Morning will come,
And I'll do what's right;
Just give me till then
To give up this fight.
And I will give up this fight.
[Chorus]
Tangled And Dark Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Gonna get into it
Down where it's tangled and dark
Way on into it, Baby
Down where your fears are parked.
Gonna tell the truth about it,
Honey that's the hardest part.
When we get through it, Baby
You're gonna give up your heart.
Gonna get into it, Baby
Gonna give them demons a call
Way on into it Baby
Gonna find out once and for all
Gonna get a little risky, Baby
Honey that's my favorite part
When we get through it, Baby
We're gonna give up our hearts.
Well, there's no turnin back,
No turnin back, this time
Well there's no turnin back,
No turnin back
No use in runnin
It's always the same
You can count on the panic
It's the faces that change
To get this love off the block
So take a deep breath
Let's look under the rock
[Repeat 1st verse]
Down where it's tangled and dark

Come To Me Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
All I ever wanted was our love to be true
More than just enough to get me by
I want a love to see me through
I don't need another well-spent night,
Another clever sideways glance
I wanna look my baby in the eye
And know there's nothing left to chance
Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused
Darling, there's only one thing you can do:
Come to me
Don't be the one who's waiting
Come to me
Babe, I got what you need
Wont you come to me
There won't be no hesitating, babe
I know what you mean to me
I'm gonna hold out for no one
Ain't gonna settle for less
'Cause the kind of love I'm looking for, baby,
You can't fake, you can't finesse
I ain't looking for the kind of man, baby,
Who can't stand a little shaky ground
Who'll give me fire and tenderness
And has got the guts to stick around
Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused,
Darling, there's only one thing you can-
I got what you want, baby
Oh, and I got what you need
Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused,
Darling there is only one thing you can do:
Come to me
Be the one who's waiting
Come to me
Ooh, I got what you need
Come to me
There won't be no hesititing, babe
Won't you come to me
I got what you want now, baby
I got what you need
Won't you come
Won't you bring it on home to me
Won't you come
Won't you come on baby, bring it on home to me
Won't you come to me
Bring all of your sweet love home
Won't you come to me
More than just enough to get me by
I want a love to see me through
I don't need another well-spent night,
Another clever sideways glance
I wanna look my baby in the eye
And know there's nothing left to chance
Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused
Darling, there's only one thing you can do:
Come to me
Don't be the one who's waiting

No Business Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Yes, I'm lonely-hope you don't catch it
Don't want to be down where I last behaved
I broke his heart now I can't patch it
This time it's grave.
I kept track of all the love that I gave him
And on paper, well, it looked pretty good
He left a note that said he couldn't stay here
As if I could...
[Chorus:]
I guess my love's got no business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business, no business to blame.
One of these days I thought we'd get it together
After all that boy was made for me
But all he left me was a mouth full of feathers
Little bird got free.
He always said my love was one sided
I tried to keep up with supply and demand
But there was one way that pie was divided
It was a big piece plan.
[Chorus]
Well, now I'm getting desperate, baby getting illegal
I got the law doggies on my trail
The hawk's out and I could use and eagle
To go my bail.
You say you're itching baby, so go ahead and scratch it
But if its jumps off, don't look at me
You swore to God that I couldn't catch it
But your dog's got fleas.
[Chorus]
Don't want to be down where I last behaved
I broke his heart now I can't patch it
This time it's grave.
I kept track of all the love that I gave him
And on paper, well, it looked pretty good
He left a note that said he couldn't stay here
As if I could...
[Chorus:]
I guess my love's got no business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business, no business to blame.
One of these days I thought we'd get it together

But all he left me was a mouth full of feathers
Little bird got free.
He always said my love was one sided

It was a big piece plan.
[Chorus]
Well, now I'm getting desperate, baby getting illegal
I got the law doggies on my trail

You swore to God that I couldn't catch it

One Part Be My Lover Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
When he looks in her eyes
He sees only the truth
Tellin' him he's been living a lie
Over and over like a line in a song
About all the love he let pass him by
To her he might be the man of her dreams
To find what she's been hiding inside
Broken or battered it really don't matter
Her hearts like a wave and he's the tide
[Chorus:]
They're not forever just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away
He's like a boxer who had to retire
After winning but killing a man
All of the moves and none of the courage
Afraid to throw a punch that might land
Not too much later she can't meet his glance
You see her start pulling away
Over and over like fire and ice
One is colored, one is gray
[Chorus]
If you know how why don't you say em' a prayer
They're gonna need all they help they can get
They remember too much about what went wrong
It might be they should learn to forget
Forget themselves in each other
And leave what belongs in the past
Carry thier hearts like a new born child
Cause it's only the moment that lasts.
[Chorus]
One part go away
He sees only the truth
Tellin' him he's been living a lie
Over and over like a line in a song
About all the love he let pass him by
To her he might be the man of her dreams
To find what she's been hiding inside
Broken or battered it really don't matter
Her hearts like a wave and he's the tide
[Chorus:]
They're not forever just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away
He's like a boxer who had to retire
After winning but killing a man
All of the moves and none of the courage
Afraid to throw a punch that might land
Not too much later she can't meet his glance
You see her start pulling away
Over and over like fire and ice
One is colored, one is gray
[Chorus]
If you know how why don't you say em' a prayer
They're gonna need all they help they can get
They remember too much about what went wrong
It might be they should learn to forget
Forget themselves in each other

Carry thier hearts like a new born child
Cause it's only the moment that lasts.
[Chorus]
One part go away
Not The Only One Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
[Chorus:]
I was in a daze, movin in the wrong direction
Feelin that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one.
One change intervention, see what it can signify
The slightest misapprehension, baby
And we'd have passed each other by
When I heard your sweet voice callin
Saw your light come shinin throught
I couldn't stop my heart from turning
Churnin out my love for you, my love to you.
[Chorus]
True love or perfection
It seems like it's overdue
Then just when you least expect it
It comes sneakin up on you
When I thought that I was dreamin
Felt your body close to mine
Now love takes on a different meaning
Together till the end of time.
[Chorus]
I was in a daze, movin in the wrong direction
Feeling that I'd always be the lonely one
When I saw your face through the web of my confusion
Whisperin that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one
I was in a daze, movin in the wrong direction
Feelin that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one.
One change intervention, see what it can signify
The slightest misapprehension, baby
And we'd have passed each other by
When I heard your sweet voice callin
Saw your light come shinin throught
I couldn't stop my heart from turning
Churnin out my love for you, my love to you.
[Chorus]
True love or perfection
It seems like it's overdue
Then just when you least expect it
It comes sneakin up on you
When I thought that I was dreamin
Felt your body close to mine
Now love takes on a different meaning
Together till the end of time.
[Chorus]
I was in a daze, movin in the wrong direction
Feeling that I'd always be the lonely one
When I saw your face through the web of my confusion
Whisperin that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one
Papa Come Quick (Jody And Chino) Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Papa come quick, Jody's gone to the city
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone
She left a note on the TV and Papa it's a pity
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone.
Mama's been cryin in the kitchen since mornin
She cried right through As The World Turns
I seen it myself and Papa it's a bitch'n
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned.
Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about half a day
Load up the shotgun, put it in the gunrack
Jody's with Chico down in East LA.
It must've been that wild-eyed, silver-tongued schemer
A girl like Jody don't think for herself.
Him and that Harley and his damn Jalapena
Smokin that stuff'll make you hurt yourself.
Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come on.
[Repeat 1st verse]
Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about a half a day
Stop at the Mobil, pump up the flat wheel
Jody & Chico and his ding dang deal.
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone
She left a note on the TV and Papa it's a pity
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone.
Mama's been cryin in the kitchen since mornin
She cried right through As The World Turns
I seen it myself and Papa it's a bitch'n
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned.
Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about half a day
Load up the shotgun, put it in the gunrack
Jody's with Chico down in East LA.
It must've been that wild-eyed, silver-tongued schemer
A girl like Jody don't think for herself.
Him and that Harley and his damn Jalapena
Smokin that stuff'll make you hurt yourself.
Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come on.
[Repeat 1st verse]
Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map

Stop at the Mobil, pump up the flat wheel
Jody & Chico and his ding dang deal.
Slow Ride Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Feels like nothin happens fast enough
Well maybe I just want too much
But when something's wrong between us, Baby
Nothin feels right.
I think it's time we cleared the air
Take a long drive far away somewhere
Tell me everything you feel inside
We got nothin but time.
Slide over, Baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a Slow Ride
On a Slow Ride.
Your history shows on your face
Yeah, you've been hurt you've been betrayed
Now we can't change the past, but we can
Leave it behind.
We'll forget about tomorrow, Baby
We'll just steal away into the night
And we'll just be two shadows, Darlin
In the dashboard light.
Slide over, Baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a Slow Ride
On a Slow Ride
Well maybe I just want too much
But when something's wrong between us, Baby
Nothin feels right.
I think it's time we cleared the air
Take a long drive far away somewhere
Tell me everything you feel inside
We got nothin but time.
Slide over, Baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a Slow Ride
On a Slow Ride.
Your history shows on your face
Yeah, you've been hurt you've been betrayed
Now we can't change the past, but we can
Leave it behind.
We'll forget about tomorrow, Baby
We'll just steal away into the night
And we'll just be two shadows, Darlin
In the dashboard light.
Slide over, Baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a Slow Ride
On a Slow Ride
Luck Of The Draw Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
You dust the bottles on the bar counter
You're writing screenplays on the side
Three nights a week can keep a girl workin
Sometimes it's good to lose your pride.
These things we do to keep the flame burnin
And write our fire in the sky
Another day to see the wheel turnin
Another avenue to try.
It's in the Luck of the Draw, Baby
The Natural Law
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby
It's in the Luck of the Draw
The Natural Law
(flame keep on burnin)
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby
(wheel ever turnin).
You turn around and say it's last orders
You fix the ribbon in your hair
Tomorrow's letter by the hall doorway
Could be the answer to your prayers.
You're writing screenplays on the side
Three nights a week can keep a girl workin
Sometimes it's good to lose your pride.
These things we do to keep the flame burnin
And write our fire in the sky
Another day to see the wheel turnin
Another avenue to try.
It's in the Luck of the Draw, Baby
The Natural Law
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby
It's in the Luck of the Draw
The Natural Law
(flame keep on burnin)
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby
(wheel ever turnin).
You turn around and say it's last orders
You fix the ribbon in your hair
Tomorrow's letter by the hall doorway
Could be the answer to your prayers.
All At Once Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Had a fight with my daughter,
She flew off in rage.
Third time this week,
Don't tell me it's the age.
Don't know how I've lost her,
Only know that it's a shame.
Ever since her daddy left,
The girl ain't been the same.
[Chorus:]
All at once I hear your voice,
And time just slips away.
Nothing they can say can hold me here.
Take me where I only feel,
The wind across my face.
Let me know there's some place left for me.
Waiting there for me...
Aww, who'm I kidding?
I should've known he'd never leave.
The time we spend together,
Is harder than the time between.
You wouldn't think it could hurt so,
To see them out the other day.
If that's what he calls leaving...
I guess I threw it all away.
[Chorus]
They say women, we're the stronger.
Somehow we always make it through.
Well, that ain't what I feel right now.
I don't even think it's true.
To me there's lots more broken,
Than anyone can really see.
Why the angels turn their backs on some;
It's a mystery to me.
[Chorus]
She flew off in rage.
Third time this week,
Don't tell me it's the age.
Don't know how I've lost her,
Only know that it's a shame.
Ever since her daddy left,
The girl ain't been the same.
[Chorus:]
All at once I hear your voice,
And time just slips away.
Nothing they can say can hold me here.
Take me where I only feel,
The wind across my face.
Let me know there's some place left for me.
Waiting there for me...
Aww, who'm I kidding?
I should've known he'd never leave.
The time we spend together,
Is harder than the time between.
You wouldn't think it could hurt so,
To see them out the other day.
If that's what he calls leaving...
I guess I threw it all away.

Nick Of Time Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
A friend of mine, she cries at night
And she calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes
And she wants one of her own
She's waited long enough she says
And still he can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose
And it tears her up inside
She is scared,
Scared to run out of time
I see my folks are getting on
And I watch their bodies change
I know they see the same in me
And it makes us both feel strange
No matter how you tell yourself
It's what we all go through
Those lines are pretty hard to take
When they're staring back at you
Oh Oh Oh, scared you'll run out of time
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to wa-a-a-aste
Mmm-m-m-m-m-m
Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time
Just when I thought I'd had enough
And all my tears were shed
No promise left unbroken
There were no painful words unsaid
Yo-o-o-u came along and showed me
I could leave it all behind
You opened up my heart again
And then much to my surprise
I found love, baby, love in the nick of time
(Love in the nick of time)
I found love darlin', love in the nick of time
(Love in the nick of time)
I found love baby, love in the nick of time
Ooooooo-ooo-ooo-whoo-ooo
Yeah baby
Uhhhhh-huh-uh
Found love...
In the nick of time...
Thought I'd given up...
Given up baby...
Oh ooo wo ooo wo...
And she calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes
And she wants one of her own
She's waited long enough she says
And still he can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose
And it tears her up inside
She is scared,
Scared to run out of time
I see my folks are getting on
And I watch their bodies change
I know they see the same in me
And it makes us both feel strange
No matter how you tell yourself
It's what we all go through
Those lines are pretty hard to take
When they're staring back at you
Oh Oh Oh, scared you'll run out of time
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to wa-a-a-aste
Mmm-m-m-m-m-m
Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time
Just when I thought I'd had enough
And all my tears were shed
No promise left unbroken
There were no painful words unsaid
Yo-o-o-u came along and showed me
I could leave it all behind
You opened up my heart again
And then much to my surprise
I found love, baby, love in the nick of time
(Love in the nick of time)
I found love darlin', love in the nick of time
(Love in the nick of time)
I found love baby, love in the nick of time
Ooooooo-ooo-ooo-whoo-ooo
Yeah baby
Uhhhhh-huh-uh
Found love...
In the nick of time...
Thought I'd given up...
Given up baby...
Oh ooo wo ooo wo...
Thing Called Love Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Don't have to humble yourself to me,
I ain't your judge or your king
Baby, you know I ain't no queen of sheba
We may not even have our dignity,
This could be just a powerful thing
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for the thing called love
I ain't some icon carved out of soap
Sent here to clean up your reputation
Baby, you know you ain't no prince charming
We can live in fear or act out of hope
For some kind of peaceful situation
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming
Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
And glide off down the lake
Whether your sunglasses are off or on
You only see the world you make
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for love, baby
Oooh yeah babe
Are you ready for love
I ain't your judge or your king
Baby, you know I ain't no queen of sheba
We may not even have our dignity,
This could be just a powerful thing
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for the thing called love
I ain't some icon carved out of soap
Sent here to clean up your reputation
Baby, you know you ain't no prince charming
We can live in fear or act out of hope
For some kind of peaceful situation
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming
Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
And glide off down the lake
Whether your sunglasses are off or on
You only see the world you make
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for love, baby
Oooh yeah babe
Are you ready for love
Love Letter Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Sittin' in front of your house,
Like rain in early dawn
Workin' on a love letter
Got my radio on.
Got my eye on your window pane
And I smoked a lot of cigarettes.
Mercy, mercy but love is strange
And you haven't even kissed me yet.
[Chorus:]
Look comes to push,
Push comes to shove,
Shove comes to touch,
Touch will come to love.
Workin' on a love letter,
Listenin' to a love song,
I'm writing you a love letter, love letter,
Got my radio on...radio, radio
Hope you get the message baby.
I know that you're gonna let me in.
It's real in your neighborhood
And this is more than I'm gonna bend.
[Chorus]
Why don't sit waitin'
Why don't behavin'
Love's waiting in the car,
In the car and rain now.
Workin' on a love letter,
Listenin' to a love song,
I'm writing you a love letter, love letter,
Got my radio on...radio, radio
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
[3 times with adlibs:]
Workin' on a love letter,

Cry On My Shoulder Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I know it's hard sometimes
And things seem larger than they are
But if you need to tell someone
That's what I'm here for
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you rise above
Cry on my shoulder, my love
Out in the world outside
It can be harsh and cold
But if you need someone
I will be here to hold you
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you dry your eyes
Cry on my shoulder, my love
I know it's hard sometimes
And things seem larger than they are
But if you need to let it go
Then you can call on me
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you dry your eyes
Cry on my shoulder, my love
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you rise above
Cry on my shoulder, my love
My love...
And things seem larger than they are
But if you need to tell someone
That's what I'm here for
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you rise above
Cry on my shoulder, my love
Out in the world outside
It can be harsh and cold
But if you need someone
I will be here to hold you
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you dry your eyes
Cry on my shoulder, my love
I know it's hard sometimes
And things seem larger than they are
But if you need to let it go
Then you can call on me
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you dry your eyes
Cry on my shoulder, my love
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you rise above
Cry on my shoulder, my love
My love...
Real Man Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Dont want no secret agent
Dont need no long cadillac
Dont want nobody with no problems
I don't need a man with a monkey on his back
I need a real man
I said a real man
I need a real man
Aint messing with no toy
I don't need no baby boy
Dont need to send me no flowers babe
Sending flowers is real nice
Way I've been feeling my hearts been a-reeling
I need a man that loves me once
I want a man that loves me twice
Its a sticky situation babe
Keep me up late at night
Honey don't know the difference
Wanna go left when you shoulda gone right
I want a real man
I said a real man
I want a real man
I've been around the world
I'm a woman not a girl
I don't want no million dollers
I don't need no diamond ring
You can twist and shout
For to knock yourself out
I don't care about material things
I want a real man
I need a real man
I want a real man
I said a real man
I want a real man
I need a real man baby
I want a real man
I want a real man
Real man
Real man

I need a real man
I said a real man
I need a real man
Aint messing with no toy
I don't need no baby boy
Dont need to send me no flowers babe
Sending flowers is real nice
Way I've been feeling my hearts been a-reeling

Nobody's Girl Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
She don't need anybody to tell her she's pretty.
She's heard it every single day of her life.
He's got to wonder what she sees in him
When there's so many others standing in line.
She gives herself to him, but he's still on the other side.
She's alone in this world, She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
She shows up at this doorstep in the middle of the night,
Then she disappears for weeks at a time.
Just enough to keep him wanting more
But never is he satisfied.
And he's left to pick up the pieces, wondering what does he do this for.
She's off in her own little world, She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
He said "Before I met her, I didn't love nothin.'
I could take it or leave it, that was okay, but
She brings out a want in me
For things I didn't even know that I need."
She does anything she wants, anytime she wants to,
With anyone. You know, she wants it all.
Still she gets all upset over the least little thing,
When you hurt her, it makes you feel so small.
And she's a walking contradiction,
But I ache for her inside.
She's fragile like a string of pearls.
She's nobody's girl.
She's fragile like a string of pearls.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
She's heard it every single day of her life.
He's got to wonder what she sees in him
When there's so many others standing in line.
She gives herself to him, but he's still on the other side.
She's alone in this world, She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
She shows up at this doorstep in the middle of the night,
Then she disappears for weeks at a time.
Just enough to keep him wanting more
But never is he satisfied.
And he's left to pick up the pieces, wondering what does he do this for.
She's off in her own little world, She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
He said "Before I met her, I didn't love nothin.'
I could take it or leave it, that was okay, but
She brings out a want in me
For things I didn't even know that I need."
She does anything she wants, anytime she wants to,
With anyone. You know, she wants it all.
Still she gets all upset over the least little thing,
When you hurt her, it makes you feel so small.
And she's a walking contradiction,
But I ache for her inside.
She's fragile like a string of pearls.
She's nobody's girl.
She's fragile like a string of pearls.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
Have A Heart Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Hey!
Shut up.
Don't lie to me.
You think I'm blind but I got eyes to see
Hey!
Mister, how do you do.
Oh pardon me I thought I knew you.
Would you stand back baby 'cause I want to get a better look.
The big man who couldn't handle the little bit of love you took.
Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.
Oh Oh Oh darling, I love you so.
I told you yes, and then you told me no.
Baby, how can you say
You should be free and I should pay and pay
And you talk and talk about you and what you need
But sooner or later your love is gonna make me bleed.
Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.
Oh, Oh.
Talk on, talk on, but love is what you need.
And sooner or later that love is gonna make you bleed.
Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?

Too Soon To Tell Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
So now there's somebody new
These dreams I've been dreaming
Have all fallen through
You say I'll be fine
It only takes time
Someday,
That may be true
But it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able,
To wish you well
But right now it's just,
Too soon to tell
It's all for the best
So you say
You never intended,
To hurt me this way
You want to hear
I won't drown in my tears
Well, baby the best that I can say
Is it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able
To wish you well
But right now,
It's just too soon to tell
Well right now
It's just too soon to tell
Ooh............
Too soon to tell....
These dreams I've been dreaming
Have all fallen through
You say I'll be fine
It only takes time
Someday,
That may be true
But it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able,
To wish you well
But right now it's just,
Too soon to tell
It's all for the best
So you say
You never intended,
To hurt me this way
You want to hear
I won't drown in my tears
Well, baby the best that I can say
Is it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able
To wish you well
But right now,
It's just too soon to tell
Well right now
It's just too soon to tell
Ooh............
Too soon to tell....
I Will Not Be Denied Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
A true love story
Is hard to find
Can't get no rest
Got no peace of mind
You say you gave
Your heart to me
You put me down
You set me free
You said you're deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
I guess you know he is because
Deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Always takes you by surprise
There you was
The only one
Coming on me and ruining my fun
Leave me setting
At home all alone
Waitin on your call by the telephone
You said you're deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
Guess you know you always was deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Finally made me realize
That I tried and tried
But you just cant get enough
So you lied and lied and lied
I will not be denied
I'm gonna plant a seed
I will not be denied
Of the man and the love I need
Said you're deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
Guess you know you are because
Deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Always takes you by surprise
Its a sad situation
When yes it's true
I can say it baby
I'm through with you
Its over now
And in the past
Gonna find me a man
With a love that'll last
You know he's deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
Guess you know you always been
Deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Finally made me realize
That I tried and tried
But you just couldnt get enough
And so you
Lied and lied and lied
And I will not be denied
I will not be denied
I will not be denied
Is hard to find
Can't get no rest
Got no peace of mind
You say you gave
Your heart to me
You put me down
You set me free
You said you're deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
I guess you know he is because
Deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Always takes you by surprise
There you was
The only one
Coming on me and ruining my fun
Leave me setting
At home all alone
Waitin on your call by the telephone
You said you're deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
Guess you know you always was deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Finally made me realize
That I tried and tried
But you just cant get enough
So you lied and lied and lied

I Ain't Gonna Let You Break My Heart Again Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
There ain't no use in me trying to tell you how I feel
'Cause what I feel ain't what you're feeling
I don't know what we did wrong
I just know if you come home
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again
There ain't no use in me trying to find out where you've been
Where you've been ain't where I'm going
'Cause if I ask you where you've been
The hurting starts and it don't end
So I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no o
Tears don't become me
Pain ain't my friend
It seems like you enjoy my crying , baby
You always said that I was strong
But I believe that you were wrong
Lately , God knows , I have been trying
There ain't no use in you trying to kiss away the hurt , baby
'Cause it hurts where it's deep down inside of me and it's hiding
If you decide you're coming home
You walk in , it won't be like before
'Cause I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
Ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no no
'Cause what I feel ain't what you're feeling
I don't know what we did wrong
I just know if you come home
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again
There ain't no use in me trying to find out where you've been
Where you've been ain't where I'm going
'Cause if I ask you where you've been
The hurting starts and it don't end
So I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no o
Tears don't become me
Pain ain't my friend
It seems like you enjoy my crying , baby
You always said that I was strong
But I believe that you were wrong
Lately , God knows , I have been trying
There ain't no use in you trying to kiss away the hurt , baby
'Cause it hurts where it's deep down inside of me and it's hiding
If you decide you're coming home
You walk in , it won't be like before
'Cause I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
Ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no no
The Road's My Middle Name Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I told you once the day we met
I wouldn't be your queen.
Your little darlin', sweet coquette
Just what my routine
You've been around enough to know
There's really no one else
When I hear that siren call, baby
I just can't help myself
I gotta go
I hope you'll understand
I love you so
Want you to be my man
I hear it callin'
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go, baby,
'cause the road's my middle name
Well, it's hard enough to love someone
When they're right close to home
Don't you think I know it's hard, honey
To squeeze the sugar from the phone
Guess the road is in my blood
'cause I'm my daddy's kid
Just have to learn how to let me go
Just like my momma did
I gotta go,
I hope you'll understand
Oh, I love you so
Want you to be my man
I hear it callin', baby
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'cause the road's my middle name
Here it come
And it sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'cause the road's my middle name
I gotta go
'cause the road's my middle name
Oooh, I gotta go, darlin'
'cause the road's my middle name
I wouldn't be your queen.
Your little darlin', sweet coquette
Just what my routine
You've been around enough to know
There's really no one else
When I hear that siren call, baby
I just can't help myself
I gotta go
I hope you'll understand
I love you so
Want you to be my man
I hear it callin'
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go, baby,
'cause the road's my middle name
Well, it's hard enough to love someone
When they're right close to home
Don't you think I know it's hard, honey
To squeeze the sugar from the phone
Guess the road is in my blood
'cause I'm my daddy's kid
Just have to learn how to let me go
Just like my momma did
I gotta go,
I hope you'll understand
Oh, I love you so
Want you to be my man
I hear it callin', baby
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'cause the road's my middle name
Here it come
And it sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'cause the road's my middle name
I gotta go
'cause the road's my middle name
Oooh, I gotta go, darlin'
'cause the road's my middle name
No Way To Treat A Lady Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
You can tease me
You can sweet-talk and lead me on
But believe me
Won't be long till I'm catchin' on
Now you left me here with nothin'
And you put my love on hold
Well there must be somethin' behind those eyes
Cuz I believed every lie you told
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't no way to treat a lady
I coulda sworn that you'd had enough
So you'd leave me
When I'm lonely and in despair
It intrigues me
How you don't really seem to care
Well I ain't here for nothin'
And my love doesn't come that cheap
I would hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keep
That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
You can tease me
You can sweet-talk and lead me on
But believe me
Won't be long till I'm catchin' on
Cuz I ain't here for nothin'
And my love doesn't come that cheap
And I would hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keep
That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
You can sweet-talk and lead me on

Who But A Fool (Thief Into Paradise) Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Paradise
I got man who loves me
In his life
He puts no one else above me
It's paradise
With everything I ever wanted
Paradise
It's just like love should be
Now you're a thief
Everybody I know knows it
You're indiscreet
Anybody on the street knows
That you cheat
The damage that you're doin doesn't
Cross your mind
Steal the heart just like a thief
[Chorus]
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Tell me, tell me, tell me who
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Tell me, tell me
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
You got me
Thinkin I want what you're givin
You got me
Wonderin what I'm missin
I can see
It's the same old fascination
What a deadly game
That sends them all right into your flame
[Chorus]
I got man who loves me
In his life
He puts no one else above me
It's paradise
With everything I ever wanted
Paradise
It's just like love should be
Now you're a thief
Everybody I know knows it
You're indiscreet
Anybody on the street knows
That you cheat
The damage that you're doin doesn't
Cross your mind
Steal the heart just like a thief

Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Tell me, tell me, tell me who
Who, but a fool lets a thief into paradise
Tell me, tell me

Crime Of Passion Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
My body is the only place
Where we meet anymore
Thought that I could handle the heartache
Like I did before
I remember your warning
To never mention love
A little crime of passion
Is what I'm guilty of
There were no witnesses
Just the candlelight
Glowin' as your softness awakened
Every warm delight
Show me some mercy
What a fool I have become
A little crime of passion
That's what I'm sufferin' from
Kisses ago it was so easy
Dreams we shared together faded to forever
And I just don't wear despair very well
I can tell
Now is such a painful time
And I'm too far gone
Where are all the clever defenses
I depended on?
How could I be so crazy
To believe the things you say?
A little crime of passion
Is takin' my breath away
[Instrumental break]
Show me some mercy
What a fool I have become
A little crime of passion
That's what I'm sufferin' from
Baby, oh, just a little crime of passion
Is what I'm sufferin' from
Is what I'm sufferin' from
What I'm sufferin' from
Ahhh, just a little crime of passion
Is what I'm sufferin' from
Where we meet anymore
Thought that I could handle the heartache
Like I did before
I remember your warning
To never mention love
A little crime of passion
Is what I'm guilty of
There were no witnesses
Just the candlelight
Glowin' as your softness awakened
Every warm delight
Show me some mercy
What a fool I have become
A little crime of passion
That's what I'm sufferin' from
Kisses ago it was so easy
Dreams we shared together faded to forever
And I just don't wear despair very well
I can tell
Now is such a painful time
And I'm too far gone
Where are all the clever defenses
I depended on?
How could I be so crazy
To believe the things you say?
A little crime of passion
Is takin' my breath away
[Instrumental break]
Show me some mercy
What a fool I have become
A little crime of passion
That's what I'm sufferin' from
Baby, oh, just a little crime of passion
Is what I'm sufferin' from
Is what I'm sufferin' from
What I'm sufferin' from
Ahhh, just a little crime of passion
Is what I'm sufferin' from
All Day, All Night Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
A little rich girl I knew was fallin' apart
(She had it all)
Lost her dreams to find a piece of his heart
(He let her fall)
Now you're on your own and it's not the same
(Oh, things do change)
There is no one there who will take the blame
You just need some time to figure it out
All day, all night
Your way, this is your life
All day, all night
Your way
Take a look inside yourself and you'll find
(You still can win)
'Cause only you little girl can make up your mind
(You're your best friend)
Don't you worry 'bout that thing that you had
(You've got a chance)
You're lookin' good little girl so don't feel so bad
Spend a little time so you can figure it out
All day, all night
Your way, this is your life
All day, all night
Your way, oooooh
(Take a little time, figure it out
Take a little time, figure it out)
A little rich girl I knew was comin' around

Keep lookin' up little girl and don't you look down
Spend a little time so you can figure it out
[Repeat 2x:]
All day, all night

Stand Up To The Night Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
There's a time when the light inside of us feels the night
And we're runnin', there's no place to hide
There's a time when we have to stand alone
With our eyes on a world that we never have known
Where can you run to
But somewhere inside your heart
What can you hold to
But all that you were from the start
[Chorus:]
Stand up to the night
Though it's comin' down on you
You're the only one you have
That you can hold onto
Stand up to the night
Though you're crying no one hears
If you feel your soul would light the darkness disappears
Stand up to the night
There's a time and a place in your life when you realize
That the stranger will always be there
There's a cold in the heart of the world you know
No one cares if the night comes and takes you below
Where can you run to
But somewhere inside your heart
What can you hold to
But all that you were from the start
[Chorus]
[Guitar break]
[Chorus]
And we're runnin', there's no place to hide
There's a time when we have to stand alone
With our eyes on a world that we never have known
Where can you run to
But somewhere inside your heart
What can you hold to
But all that you were from the start
[Chorus:]
Stand up to the night
Though it's comin' down on you
You're the only one you have
That you can hold onto
Stand up to the night
Though you're crying no one hears
If you feel your soul would light the darkness disappears
Stand up to the night
There's a time and a place in your life when you realize
That the stranger will always be there
There's a cold in the heart of the world you know
No one cares if the night comes and takes you below
Where can you run to
But somewhere inside your heart
What can you hold to
But all that you were from the start
[Chorus]
[Guitar break]

Excited Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I met you on a Monday
But Tuesday you stole my heart
You gave me everything I ever wanted
And then turned and walked away
You just turned and walked away
[Chorus:]
I get excited (excited)
Whenever you come around
I get excited
Always building me up and never letting me down
(Excited)
As simple as one, two, three
I get excited
That's what you're doin'
What you're doin' to me
(That's what you're doin',
What you're doin')
Just when I thought I was over you
Soon as I was sure you were gone
I see you somewhere standin' 'cross the room
But you turn and walk away
You just turn and walk away
[Chorus]
That's what you're doin'
That's what you're doin' to me
[Saxophone break]
(That's what you're doin',
That's what you're doin')
Now that I know the problem
The answer should be easy to find
It takes common sense to simply convince him
Not to turn and walk away
Tryin' to get that man to stay
[Chorus]
That's what you're doin',
That's what you're doin'
Hey, way to get next to me
Way to get next to me
But Tuesday you stole my heart
You gave me everything I ever wanted
And then turned and walked away
You just turned and walked away
[Chorus:]
I get excited (excited)
Whenever you come around
I get excited
Always building me up and never letting me down
(Excited)
As simple as one, two, three
I get excited
That's what you're doin'
What you're doin' to me
(That's what you're doin',
What you're doin')
Just when I thought I was over you
Soon as I was sure you were gone
I see you somewhere standin' 'cross the room
But you turn and walk away
You just turn and walk away
[Chorus]
That's what you're doin'
That's what you're doin' to me
[Saxophone break]
(That's what you're doin',
That's what you're doin')
Now that I know the problem
The answer should be easy to find
It takes common sense to simply convince him
Not to turn and walk away
Tryin' to get that man to stay
[Chorus]
That's what you're doin',
That's what you're doin'
Hey, way to get next to me
Way to get next to me
True Love Is Hard To Find Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
You said that your love was just for me
That's why I've got to be yours
You told me the day will never come
When you would walk out and leave
'Cause you know that
[Chorus:]
True love is hard to find
'Cause you know that
True love is hard to find
Everybody knows
True love is hard to find
Hard to find
Very hard to find
I say (true love)
True love (true love)
True love (true love)
True love is hard to find
You told me that you know I would have to travel all over
You would take care of my business for me
Darlin', all I ask of you
Is to leave those business alone and save it just for me
Yes
[Chorus]
And glory fills my heart with joy from heaven
With love for you
Darlin', I always think of you
Always have my arms filled with love for you
'Cause you know that
[Chorus]
[guitar break]
[Last chorus:]
Just because I know
True love is hard to find
I believe in love
True love is hard to find
Everybody should know that
True love is hard to find
You know that
True love is hard to find
I say (true love)
True love (true love)
True love (true love)
True love is hard to find
Hard to find
True love (true love)
True love (true love)
True love is hard to find...
That's why I've got to be yours
You told me the day will never come
When you would walk out and leave
'Cause you know that
[Chorus:]
True love is hard to find
'Cause you know that
True love is hard to find
Everybody knows
True love is hard to find
Hard to find
Very hard to find
I say (true love)
True love (true love)
True love (true love)
True love is hard to find
You told me that you know I would have to travel all over
You would take care of my business for me
Darlin', all I ask of you
Is to leave those business alone and save it just for me
Yes

And glory fills my heart with joy from heaven
With love for you
Darlin', I always think of you
Always have my arms filled with love for you

Angel Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I've had my dreams
And they're all about you
What will I do with my dreaming?
And I've had my schemes
And it seems that they'll get me through
But will I do without you?
Angel, tell me what will I do
Sailing alone without you?
I know you have made your plans
Angel, now what will you see
Sailing alone without me?
Angel, tell me what will you see
Sailing alone without me?
[Guitar break]
Sailing alone without me
Angel, tell what will you see
Sailing alone without me?
[Guitar for the rest of song]
And they're all about you
What will I do with my dreaming?
And I've had my schemes
And it seems that they'll get me through
But will I do without you?
Angel, tell me what will I do
Sailing alone without you?
I know you have made your plans
Angel, now what will you see
Sailing alone without me?
Angel, tell me what will you see
Sailing alone without me?
[Guitar break]
Sailing alone without me
Angel, tell what will you see
Sailing alone without me?
[Guitar for the rest of song]
Keep This Heart In Mind Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I heard you say
life can't go on this way
and you need to change your view.
So you packed up and moved out of my life.
To find a world of your own.
Even now that you've up and gone.
For you there's still a place in my heart
only real love in my life
That even time can't erase.
So darlin'
Keep this heart in mind
whenever the lights of love don't shine.
Darlin' keep this heart in mind
everytime.
I knew you cared
Cause in your letters you would write and say
that you missed my lovin' every day.
Well if that's true,
all I'd ever why
aren't you next to me.
And you call me on the telephone
afraid because you're all alone
Well, Baby, just remember
Oh love will abide
So darlin'
Keep this heart in mind
whenever the lights of love don't shine.
Darlin' keep this heart in mind
everytime.
life can't go on this way
and you need to change your view.
So you packed up and moved out of my life.
To find a world of your own.
Even now that you've up and gone.
For you there's still a place in my heart
only real love in my life
That even time can't erase.
So darlin'
Keep this heart in mind
whenever the lights of love don't shine.
Darlin' keep this heart in mind
everytime.
I knew you cared
Cause in your letters you would write and say
that you missed my lovin' every day.
Well if that's true,
all I'd ever why
aren't you next to me.
And you call me on the telephone
afraid because you're all alone
Well, Baby, just remember
Oh love will abide
So darlin'
Keep this heart in mind
whenever the lights of love don't shine.
Darlin' keep this heart in mind
everytime.
River Of Tears Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I guess you got me in a sentimental mood
Never thot I'd feel this way again
Lyin' here with my dreams
I get so lonely thinking of you
[Chorus:]
River of Tears
Oceans of heartbreak
I want to feel
What your love can be
I close my eyes
Chances that I take
Got me so blind
Til I can't see
I never let you know just what's been on my mind
Never thot I'd hurt so bad for you lovin' this long
Lyin' here at nite alone
I keep on wonderin' just what went wrong
[Chorus]
River of Tears
River of Tears

Never thot I'd feel this way again
Lyin' here with my dreams
I get so lonely thinking of you

Chances that I take
Got me so blind
Til I can't see

Never thot I'd hurt so bad for you lovin' this long
Lyin' here at nite alone
I keep on wonderin' just what went wrong

Can't Get Enough Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Come on so tough
When you think you got a right
Make love so rough
Until I lose the will to fight
You got that somethin', baby
That turns my darkness into light
And I can't get enough of your love
I never found a man
Who took the time to see
The woman that I am
And not the one he hoped I'd be
And I think we're onto somethin'
And it's good enough for me
I just can't get enough of your...
Aha haaa
Come on so tough
Baby, you know just how to please
You got that stuff
That brings this woman to her knees
I think we're onto somethin'
That is good enough for me
I just can't get enough of your...
I just can't get enough of your...
And I just can't get enough of your love
Can't get enough of your love, aha
Can't get enough of your love
Just can't get it
Can't get enough of your love, aha
Just can't get it
Can't get enough of your love...
When you think you got a right
Make love so rough
Until I lose the will to fight
You got that somethin', baby
That turns my darkness into light
And I can't get enough of your love
I never found a man
Who took the time to see
The woman that I am
And not the one he hoped I'd be
And I think we're onto somethin'
And it's good enough for me
I just can't get enough of your...
Aha haaa
Come on so tough
Baby, you know just how to please
You got that stuff
That brings this woman to her knees
I think we're onto somethin'
That is good enough for me
I just can't get enough of your...
I just can't get enough of your...
And I just can't get enough of your love
Can't get enough of your love, aha
Can't get enough of your love
Just can't get it
Can't get enough of your love, aha
Just can't get it
Can't get enough of your love...
Let's Keep It Between Us Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Let's keep it between us
These people meddling in our affairs
They're not our friends
Let's keep it between us
Before the whole door closes
And it comes to an end
They'll tell you one thing, me another
'Til we don't know who to trust
Oh darlin', let's keep it between us
Let's keep it between us
We've been through too much together
That they'll never share
They've had nothing to say to us before
Now all of a sudden it's as if
They've always cared
All we need is honesty
A little humility and trust
Oh darlin', can we keep it between us?
I know we're not perfect
Then again, so what!
Ain't no reason to treat you like a snake
Or to treat me like a slut
And it's makin' me so angry!
Could we just lay back for a moment
Before we wake up and find ourselves
In a game that we both have lost?
These easy cures and easy handsomes
Somethin' tells me we can't afford the cost
There's some things not fit for human ears
Some things don't need to be discussed
Oh darlin', can we keep it between us?
[Instrumental break]
They'll tell you one thing, me another
'Til we don't know who to trust
Oh darlin', let's keep it between us
Let's keep it between us
Before the whole thing breaks down
And goes too far
If we can't settle our differences by ourselves
Then we must be worse off than they think we are
Back seat drivers don't know the feel of the wheel
But they sure know how to make a fuss
Oh darlin', can we keep it between us?
Can we keep it between us?
These people meddling in our affairs
They're not our friends
Let's keep it between us
Before the whole door closes
And it comes to an end
They'll tell you one thing, me another
'Til we don't know who to trust
Oh darlin', let's keep it between us
Let's keep it between us
We've been through too much together
That they'll never share
They've had nothing to say to us before
Now all of a sudden it's as if
They've always cared
All we need is honesty
A little humility and trust
Oh darlin', can we keep it between us?
I know we're not perfect
Then again, so what!
Ain't no reason to treat you like a snake
Or to treat me like a slut
And it's makin' me so angry!
Could we just lay back for a moment
Before we wake up and find ourselves
In a game that we both have lost?
These easy cures and easy handsomes
Somethin' tells me we can't afford the cost
There's some things not fit for human ears
Some things don't need to be discussed
Oh darlin', can we keep it between us?
[Instrumental break]
They'll tell you one thing, me another
'Til we don't know who to trust
Oh darlin', let's keep it between us
Let's keep it between us
Before the whole thing breaks down
And goes too far
If we can't settle our differences by ourselves
Then we must be worse off than they think we are
Back seat drivers don't know the feel of the wheel
But they sure know how to make a fuss
Oh darlin', can we keep it between us?
Can we keep it between us?
I Can't Help Myself Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
[Chorus:]
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
I can't help myself
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
Billy was a friend of mine
We used to walk down by the river
And he'd hold my hand
We were only ten or twelve years old
Didn't know about love
I found out
That it could hurt ya so
[Chorus]
Jimmie was the one in high school days
We used to drive around the city
Thinking we'd grown up
Must've been just about sweet sixteen
I found a brand new world,
A brand new love
That I had never seen
[Chorus]
No matter how hard I try
I just can't leave it alone
No use in wonderin' why
'Cause my heart has a mind of its own
[Chorus]
But I keep on falling
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
I can't help myself
I keep on falling
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
I keep right on falling
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
I can't help myself...
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
I can't help myself
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
Billy was a friend of mine
We used to walk down by the river
And he'd hold my hand
We were only ten or twelve years old
Didn't know about love
I found out
That it could hurt ya so
[Chorus]
Jimmie was the one in high school days
We used to drive around the city
Thinking we'd grown up
Must've been just about sweet sixteen
I found a brand new world,
A brand new love
That I had never seen
[Chorus]
No matter how hard I try
I just can't leave it alone
No use in wonderin' why
'Cause my heart has a mind of its own
[Chorus]
But I keep on falling
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
I can't help myself
I keep on falling
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
I keep right on falling
Can't help myself
I'm falling in love
I can't help myself...

Me And The Boys Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Just a bunch of guys getting in the car
No matter who's driving or for how far
Feels so good, (it's) been so long
No backseat drivers tell us how to drive
Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
Me and the boys
Me and my buddies just like to go
We'll have fun (We're having fun); Everybody knows
We don't fuss and we never cry
We just groove, taking in the sights
Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
Me and the boys
Don't raise questions 'bout how it's done
We're just messing 'round, having fun
(The) car gear shiftin' well up and down
The muffler's a little loud, but we love that sound
Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
Me and the boys
It ain't like us to hang around this town
Cause squares just bring us down
I've got to find me something new
(I) don't wan' think about what they do now
The future's gonna drive around, and we don't care
'Cause wherever we're going, we'll soon get there
Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
No matter who's driving or for how far
Feels so good, (it's) been so long
No backseat drivers tell us how to drive
Me and the boys
Just me and the boys
Me and the boys
Me and my buddies just like to go
We'll have fun (We're having fun); Everybody knows
We don't fuss and we never cry
We just groove, taking in the sights
Me and the boys
Just me and the boys

Talk To Me Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
The time has come
Before our yesterday is here
I said, the time has come now baby
For you and me to get a few things clear

What does it matter if I'm weak or strong

Come home and talk to me
Tell me what is on your mind
You better tell me baby
Tell me while there's still enough time
Well I gave you everything that I had

Green Lights Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Any old time
You got your tuned in
Baby by your side
And your pretty little cool ride
It feels so good
You got the top pulled in
Wind in your hair
Destination you don't care
Now move it on up
You know it's steerin' all rite
Foot's to the floor
But you think that you can domore
Wind shield clean
And the nite is so brite
Baby so near
And She's givin' you a green lite
Great sound on the radio
She feels something
Now you know there's no place that you'd rather be
Great sounds..
Any old time
You got your tuned in

And your pretty little cool ride
You got your tuned in

Now move it on up
You know it's steerin' all rite
Foot's to the floor
But you think that you can domore

Great sound on the radio

Now you know there's no place that you'd rather be
Great sounds..

Your Good Thing (Is About To End) Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I don't have to beg you to hold me
'Cause somebody else will
You don't have to love me when I want it, no
'Cause somebody else will
Some kind friends say you don't need it
When all the time they're tryin' to get it
Look out, your good thing
Is about to come to an end
Your real good thing
Is about to come to an end
All those nights I watched the four walls
I did not have to watch 'em all alone
When other men said they wanted me, baby
I didn't have to tell them I was
Your very own
You have all the love that I've got
Even ice melts to water and gets hot
Look out, your good thing
Is about to come to an end
Your real good thing
It's about to end
[Saxophone break]
Gettin' myself back together
Is gonna be a be problem I know
But when the right man says he wants me
Boy, you can bet I won't tell him no
'Cause your real good thing
Is about to come to an end
Your real, your good thing
Your good thing baby
Your good thing
Your good thing
Your good thing baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause somebody else will
You don't have to love me when I want it, no
'Cause somebody else will
Some kind friends say you don't need it
When all the time they're tryin' to get it
Look out, your good thing
Is about to come to an end
Your real good thing
Is about to come to an end
All those nights I watched the four walls
I did not have to watch 'em all alone
When other men said they wanted me, baby
I didn't have to tell them I was
Your very own
You have all the love that I've got
Even ice melts to water and gets hot
Look out, your good thing
Is about to come to an end

Standin' By The Same Old Love Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I told you before
You know it may take a little while
I'd like to go there with you but
Runnin' just ain't my style
You want me to stay, well
You got to take it nice and slow
I'll show you the way
Just tell me if you want to know
I remember the time
When we thought we'd never get enough
Tryin' to make a new love
And makin' it all at once
We wonder how we keep it up
After all these years
You worry 'bout your end, baby
I'll bring up the rear
I love you baby
Don't you put me up against the wall
I ain't gonna jump every time
You need an overhaul
Maybe it'll take all night
But we'll do it 'til we get it right
And we'll be standin' by the same old love
That made us fall
There's a lot more to love
Than seein' how much love we can make
There's the kindness that makes it
So sweet 'til your little heart could break
And I want you to know
That I'm not just along for the ride
And I won't settle for less than
Everything I've got inside
I love you baby
Don't you put me up against the wall
I ain't gonna jump every time
You need an overhaul
Maybe it'll take all night
But we'll do it 'til we get it right
And we'll be standin' by the same,
Standin' by the same
Well, we'll be standin' by the same old
Oughta be standin' by the same old love
Oooo, standin'
Standin'
[Starts to fade...]
Why aren't ya standin'?
Oughta be standin'
Why aren't you just standin'?
Why aren't you just standin'?
Why aren't you just standin'?...
You know it may take a little while
I'd like to go there with you but
Runnin' just ain't my style
You want me to stay, well
You got to take it nice and slow
I'll show you the way
Just tell me if you want to know
I remember the time
When we thought we'd never get enough
Tryin' to make a new love
And makin' it all at once
We wonder how we keep it up
After all these years
You worry 'bout your end, baby
I'll bring up the rear
I love you baby
Don't you put me up against the wall
I ain't gonna jump every time

Maybe it'll take all night
But we'll do it 'til we get it right
And we'll be standin' by the same old love
That made us fall
There's a lot more to love
Than seein' how much love we can make

So sweet 'til your little heart could break

Sleep's Dark And Silent Gate Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Sometimes I lie awake at night
And wonder
Where my life will lead me
Waiting to pass under
Sleep's dark and silent gate
I found my love today
Runnin' round day after day
Lookin' for the time to play
While my old friends
They slipped away
Never should've had to try so hard
To make a love work out, I guess
I don't know what love has got to do
With happiness
But the times when we were happy
Were the times we'd never tried
Sittin' down by the highway
I don't know where I been
I don't know where I'm going
Oh, God this is some kind of shape I'm in
When the only thing that makes me cry
Is the kindness in my baby's eyes
[Guitar break]
Sometimes I lie awake at night
And wonder
Where the years have gone
They have all passed under
Sleep's dark and silent gate
I've found my love today
I've found my love today
I've found my love today
Don't know where I'm goin'
Don't know where I been
(I found my love)
Oooooo, I found my love
I found my love today.
And wonder
Where my life will lead me
Waiting to pass under
Sleep's dark and silent gate
I found my love today
Runnin' round day after day
Lookin' for the time to play
While my old friends
They slipped away
Never should've had to try so hard
To make a love work out, I guess
I don't know what love has got to do
With happiness
But the times when we were happy
Were the times we'd never tried
Sittin' down by the highway
I don't know where I been
I don't know where I'm going
Oh, God this is some kind of shape I'm in
When the only thing that makes me cry
Is the kindness in my baby's eyes
[Guitar break]
Sometimes I lie awake at night
And wonder
Where the years have gone
They have all passed under
Sleep's dark and silent gate
I've found my love today
I've found my love today
I've found my love today
Don't know where I'm goin'
Don't know where I been
(I found my love)
Oooooo, I found my love
I found my love today.
The Glow Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
I need a drink
Don't want to think
I drink too much
But who's to say
What's right or wrong?
I guess you think you see
You're tellin' me
That I don't know
When it's passed the point
Of feelin' good
I run around and find
I just can't get satisfied
Tonight
Now there's a phone
I hear the sound
I needed to talk
But it's too late
For talkin' now
I guess I'll go alone
I feel a glow...
Here i am
Here i am
Here i am
What I need is a friend tonight
What I need is a friend
What I need is someone
What I really deed is just one more drink
Tonight
Tonight...
Don't want to think
I drink too much
But who's to say
What's right or wrong?
I guess you think you see
You're tellin' me
That I don't know
When it's passed the point
Of feelin' good
I run around and find
I just can't get satisfied
Tonight
Now there's a phone
I hear the sound
I needed to talk
But it's too late
For talkin' now
I guess I'll go alone
I feel a glow...
Here i am
Here i am
Here i am
What I need is a friend tonight
What I need is a friend
What I need is someone
What I really deed is just one more drink
Tonight
Tonight...
The Boy Can't Help It Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
If he walks by and the women get engrosed
If he winks an eye and the bread slice turns to toast
He's got a lot of what they call the most
You know the boy can't help it
He was born to please
And if he's got himself a figure that's just made to squeeze
Won't you kindly be aware that the boy can't help it
If he mezmerizes each and every one
And, Lord when he smiles the beefsteak becomes well done
He even makes my grandma feel like she's twentyone
You know the boy can't help it
He was born to please
And if i got to go down to him on bended knees
It's because I'm hoping, obviously
That some day his answer will be
The boy can't help it
He's in love with me.
If he winks an eye and the bread slice turns to toast
He's got a lot of what they call the most
You know the boy can't help it
He was born to please
And if he's got himself a figure that's just made to squeeze
Won't you kindly be aware that the boy can't help it
If he mezmerizes each and every one
And, Lord when he smiles the beefsteak becomes well done
He even makes my grandma feel like she's twentyone
You know the boy can't help it
He was born to please
And if i got to go down to him on bended knees
It's because I'm hoping, obviously
That some day his answer will be
The boy can't help it
He's in love with me.
(I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
Fate is mighty cruel
Where true love is concerned
It seems you give out more
Than you ever have returned
Lately I have tried
To make it on my own
Another nite has passed
Looks like I'm bound to be alone
Bound to be alone
Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there's nothin' else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it's back on you
Oh, I can make it thru without your company
I only wish I knew why you won't comfort me
I thot that I could count on you
To hear me cryin' out
I guess that's one comfort
I will learn to do without
Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
So you are not the first and, lord
You sure won't be the last
The thing about the situation
That makes me feel so sad
I could've been the best old friend
That you have ever had
I could've been the best old friend
That you have ever had
Where true love is concerned
It seems you give out more
Than you ever have returned
Lately I have tried
To make it on my own
Another nite has passed
Looks like I'm bound to be alone
Bound to be alone
Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there's nothin' else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it's back on you
Oh, I can make it thru without your company
I only wish I knew why you won't comfort me
I thot that I could count on you
To hear me cryin' out
I guess that's one comfort
I will learn to do without
Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
So you are not the first and, lord
You sure won't be the last
The thing about the situation
That makes me feel so sad
I could've been the best old friend
That you have ever had
I could've been the best old friend
That you have ever had
You're Gonna Get What's Coming Lyrics – Bonnie Raitt
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
I've got a Thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing and we'll light it
In all this heat it's a job keepin' cool
And I could fry an egg on you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
[Chorus:]
You're gonna get what's comin'
You been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's comin'
You're gonna get what's comin' to you
I hope that you're half as intrepid as you make out
Often or not, but you never got what you asked for
Keep on pouring until you hear me shout
And turn up the sound if you want me to drive any faster
Caution went out when you walked in the room
If it never came back it would be too soon.
[Chorus]
You came upon me like a landslide,
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
[Chorus]
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
I've got a Thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing and we'll light it
In all this heat it's a job keepin' cool
And I could fry an egg on you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
[Chorus:]
You're gonna get what's comin'
You been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's comin'
You're gonna get what's comin' to you
I hope that you're half as intrepid as you make out
Often or not, but you never got what you asked for
Keep on pouring until you hear me shout
And turn up the sound if you want me to drive any faster
Caution went out when you walked in the room
If it never came back it would be too soon.
[Chorus]
You came upon me like a landslide,
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
[Chorus]
