1.Something To Talk About
Bonnie Raitt
verse 1
People are talkin, talking 'bout
people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers
kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a
little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little
too long
Maybe they're seeing, something we don't, Darlin'
chorus
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk
about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love?
verse
2
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You'd act so nervous, could you be
falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced I'm
going under
Thinking 'bout you every day
Dreaming 'bout you every
night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really
show it, Darlin'
chorus
bridge
Let's give them something to
talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them something to
talk about
How about love, love, love, love?
chorus
Let's give
them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's
give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love,
love?
chorus
2. Good Man, Good Woman
C. Womack/ L. Womack
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Midnight, I'm
wound up tight
Slowly comin' down in the daytime
I been lyin' low from
work, hangin' over from the hurt from you babe
But I'm gonna suffer through
the strain, till I get a
Better thing with you, Darlin', me and
you.
So far to see ahead
When I can't seem to drag myself out of
bed
gotta find me a good man, a good man, a good man.Yeah.
You better
stop, think about what you're saying
I was seriously dedicated, in the game
of playin'
You made ten thousand promises you could'nt keep
I forgave you
when you lied, pleaded and weeped
Put up with your disrespect and
neglect
What an experience, I'll never forget.
Till now, everything I
did was wrong. (I'm sorry, baby)
Today you're free, but we live
alone.
Gotta find me a good woman...Good woman...Good woman...Yeah.
It
was twelve o'clock in the midnight hour
I heard the door slam, and then the
shower
When I got up, you were already gone
I slipped and fell, from the
water you left on.
Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good
man
Gotta find a good woman
Gotta find a good man.
3. I Can't Make You Love Me
(M. Reid/A. Shamblin)
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:
Cause 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 lonely hours
I will lay down
my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause 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: Cause 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 lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But
you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
4. Tangled And Dark
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 with 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 runin
It's always the same
You
can count on the panic
It's the faces that change
We might have a
change
To get this love off the block
So take a deep breath
Let's look
under that rock
Repeat first verse
5. Come to me
Bonnie Raitt
All I ever wanted
Was a 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 nothin' left to
chance
So if you're tired of bein' lonely
Beat up and
confused
Darlin' there is only
One thing you can do
Come to me
I'll
be the one who's waiting
Come to me
I got what you need
Come to
me
Won't be no hesitating
I know what you mean to me
I'm gonna hold
out for the one I want
Ain't gonna settle for less
Cause the kind of love
I'm lookin' for, baby
You can't fake, you can't finesse
I ain't
lookin' for the kind of man, baby
Can't stand a little shaky ground
He'll
give me fire and tenderness
And got the guts to stick around
So if
you're tired of bein' lonely
Beat up and confused
Darlin' there is
only
One thing you can do
Come to me
I'll be the one who's
waiting
Come to me
I got what you need
Come to me
Won't be no
hesitating
I know what you mean to me
6. No Business
John Hiatt
Yes, I'm lonely- hope you didn'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...
I guess my love's got no
business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business,
nobody 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.
I guess my love's got no
business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business,
nobody to blame.
Well, now I'm getting desperate, baby, getting
illeagal
I got the law doggies on my trail
The hawk's out and I could use
an eagle
To go my bail.
You say you're itching baby, so go ahead and
scratch it
But if it jumps off, don't look at me
You swore to God that I
couldn't catch it
But your dog's got fleas.
I guess my love's got no
business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business,
nobody to blame.
7. One Part Be My Lover
Bonnie Raitt/ Michael O' Keefe
When he looks in her
eyes
He sees only the truth
Telling 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 where she's been hiding
inside
Broken or battered, it really don't matter
Her heart's like a wave
and he's the tide.
They're not forever, they're 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
He's got 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 color, one is grey.
They're not forever,
they're just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.
So if
you know how
Why don't you say 'em a prayer
They're gonna need all the
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 their hearts like a newborn child
Cause
it's only the moment that lasts.
They're not forever, they're just for
today
One part be my lover, one part go away.
8. Not the Only One
Paul Brady
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
Once chance 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' through
I couldn't stop my
heart from turning
Churnin' out my love for you, my love to you
I was
in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that I'd always be the
lonely one
Then I saw you face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin' that
I wasn't the only one
The lonely one
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 dreaming
Felt your body close
to mine
Now love takes on a different meaning
Together till the end of
time
I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that I'd
always be the lonely one
Then I saw you face, on the edge of my
horizon
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
When I saw your face through the web of my confusion
Whisperin'
that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one
9. Papa Come Quick (Jody and Chino)
B. Vera/ C. Taylor/ R. Hirsch
Papa come quick, Joy'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 L.A.
It must have been that
wild-eyed, silver-toungued 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
First verse
Gas up the old Ford, get out the
road map
They got a head start about half a day
Stop at the Mobil, pump up
the the flat wheel
Jody & Chico and his ding dang deal.
10. Slow Ride
B. Hayes/A.Pessis/l.J. McNally
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
tomarrow, 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.
11. Luck of the Draw
Paul Brady
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 world 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, Baby
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
Tomarrow's letter by the hall doorway
Could be the answer to
your prayers.
12. All at Once
Bonnie Raitt
Had a fight with my daughter
She flew off
in a rage
Third time this week
Don't tell me it's the age
Don't know
how I lost her
I 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 could hold me
here
Take me where I only feel
The wind across my face
Let me know
there's someplace left for me
Waiting just for me.
Ah, who am I
kiddin'
I should have 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 'em out the other day
If that's what he calls leavin'
I guess
I threw it all away.
Chorus
They say women, we're the
stronger
Somehow we always make it through
Hell, that ain't how I feel
right now
I don't even think it's true
Looks to me there's lots more
broken
Than anyone can really see
Why the angels turn their backs on
some
Is just a mystery to me.
