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

I was visiting my brother in Amsterdam in 1989 and picked his recently-purchased copy of Nick of Time at random out of his record collection and had a listen. Been a Bonnie fan ever since.

Goddamn!  Bonnie the answer to every musicians dream.  More loving and accessible than Chrissie Hynde, my other dream.

Smart too!  Paul Barrere said that Little Feat offered to open for her when the previously arranged act bailed, and she turned them down cold.  One less closer blown clean off the stage.

interesting as she and Lowell George were very tight in the early days...

I love her voice, but can't abide this cod-reggae stuff.

That she can, as well as play a smoking slide guitar.

I haven’t heard this song in a long while. It brings back memories of summer nights listening to WMVY out of Martha’s Vineyard. WMVY is still on the air and still has it’s same eclectic format, which is an amazing feat in this day and age. RP listeners would find many similarities between RP and WMVY in terms of vibe and playlist.

My wife and I saw Bonnie Raitt in the mid-to-late 90's at the outdoor pavilion in The Woodlands, TX. Seats a few rows back from the stage. Pure magic! She is the consummate performer. And good gawd, she knows her way around an electric guitar!

Bonnie's a class act. I went to see her at the Greek in Berkeley, and Bruce Hornsby opened for her. Half way through Bruce's set, Bonnie came out to play a couple of songs with him, 45 minutes before her headline set. That's class.
 
That sounds like a rippin' good time! Thanks for sharing!

What difference from the last song RP played from the National.
More Bonnie less whining singer/songwriter crap.
 
The National are a good group. Sort of like apples. Bonnie Raitt's a legend, and is quite the orange. Combined it makes this statement a fine fruit salad of gibberish but it still is an inapt comparison.

Bonnie Raitt is first class. Saw her recently and when she she played solo acoustic she was first class.

Go GET 'em, Bonnie!!!
Posted 16 years ago by LowPhreak    [ Reply ]
her first album is by far the best work she's ever done......straight ahead roots blues with GREAT slide guitar work. Her later "pop" stuff doesn't do as much for me
Posted 16 years ago by Stewed_Mulligan    [ Reply ]
Saw her open for Clapton they played a few songs together on slide guitars SWEET!
Posted 16 years ago by Bakaretsu    [ Reply ]
C'mon folks, face it, Bonnie is unquestionably pop with a R&B patina, but she does it damn well. Stop asking so much, get off the high perch, and just revel. Happy as a pig in....

Some harsh, knee jerk reactions to this artist. Could be insecurity at secretly liking music that oh my gosh was popular at one time. Or, not. I just know there are some musicians that should be appreciated for their musical talent regardless. She's one.

Well said. Like a previous comment said, a great singer in search of a great song - and this ain't it. All of her songs ain't it.

I agree with this agreement. Not sure what I dislike about her. I won't protest others enjoyment of her music, but it does nothing for me.

This is no Angel From Montgomery. Most of the time Bonnie seems to come up just short of a great song. 3/10.

I recently saw her in concert in Atlanta. Great show, she still knows how to rock!

She did it to me thirty years ago. She still does it to me today. Um...don't tell my wife.

A true artist, a singer, a woman with so much soul it transcends her music, her lyrics.

Okay, but a little too slick and AC (adult contemporary) for my tastes.

This may not be her best but she is generally the first artist I mention when I complain about today's stars. Ms Raitt has more soul and talent than everyone on the Billboard Top 100 put together.

Agreed, but this is one artist that doesn't seem to do anything very badly. Actually, there is some real nice sounds in the instrumentation in this. I think for once I'm wishing for Bonnie to sit back and let the band take over.
Posted 22 years ago by Typesbad    [ Reply ]
Always loved Ry Cooder\'s band and Keith Richards\' guitar playing and that\'s sort of combined in this song. Lovely, loose, bluesy vocals as well.
