WAITIN’ FOR YOU TO BLOW
(Bonnie Raitt)
I keep her anger cocked and ready,
Tucked in her stylin' holster
Draw the line in pretty colors,
Just to dare some fool to cross her
I keep her righteousness on simmer,
though it’s tastier on a boil
And her tongue stays nice’n sharp
--the tighter she stays coiled
I love to let her lay around
Blowin’ deadlines once again
Stock her up with lame excuses
For things she meant to send
I make her blow her diet,
‘Til she slips to full-on binge
Then I up her shame about it
Cause she looks so cute unhinged
I got her where she is today,
But do I get respect?
She claims she’s so above it now,
Keeps all that mess in check
Recovery's a fickle beast,
Better stick to what you know,
Cause I’m always ridin’ shotgun, baby,
Just waitin’ for you to you blow
Don’t matter how much time you got,
It's still a slippery ledge
Gotta keep an eye on every step
When there's no more bets to hedge
You can whine or boast, cut 'n run,
You can fall down on your knees
But if it ain't the full surrender, baby
It's all the same to me
It's funny how a little doubt'll muddle up her way
It only takes some darker thoughts to wreck her sunny day
I let her draw love close enough
To see she really cares
But no way do they get inside
In case there’s no one there

[@justiceharrison5142]

Hello there Sheila nice meeting you here

[@jeffbilby9415]

I can hear some 1970's funk and even a nod to Prince vibes on this soulful FUNK from Bonnie, stretching out the scene with such a killer vocals-wordplay, so slinky, the band just grooving to her every word, the keyboards just slay... another of so many highlights to ..just like that, surely one of the most distinct collections of tunes from Ms Bonnie Raitt, great song & lyrics!..tasteful stuff!

[@genewilliams617]

Sorry, I don't get any prince at all. Straight up Bonnie doing what she does!

[@craigdowden2196]

This is Bonnie being Bonnie…no Prince here.

[@ttswan]

@@craigdowden2196 Maybe a dash of Rickie Lee in there.

[@JayeMaynard]

I agree, I caught the show in MSN recently. Def some Prince nods.

[@carloscarlos7044]

Thanks miss Bonnie you made my day

[@MostlyBuicks]

The first concert I ever took my daughter to, heck, probably 25 years ago now.

[@roberthanley622]

Miss B has serious Mojo...Swing, baby, swing

[@damonmichaelson3904]

I have always loved Bonnie I like this funky sound a classic!!!

[@tomcooley3778]

Me too.

[@rebeccamiller1106]

Bonnie is a badass !!!

[@bluesman7703]

Wow !!!

[@rachelwatkins3374]

Spoken like one who knows that recovery really is one day at a time. One bad choice and all that time goes to hell. Proud to say I’m a sober sister with relatives like Miz Bonnie👍👍

[@elizabethhickey12]

Always, one day at a time.

[@dukeb4523]

Work it Bonnie!!!

[@jazzpianist]

사운드 최고다~!! 😊😍❤

[@CrescentDiamond_Coach]

Reminds me of some of my “parts” - looking at my mind in Internal Family Systems “I got her where she is today but do I get respect? She claims she so above it now, keeps all that mess in check”

[@elizabethhickey12]

Love it!! I hope she plays this when we see her in June in Boston.

[@karenvarbalow5886]

I bet she did. She sung it in Albuquerque when I saw her just a few days ago. Man, she gives a kick ass concert.

[@elizabethhickey12]

She CERTAINLY DOES!!!

[@KuskokwimGigi]

Brava!!

[@josefreitasoliveira4547]

Linda de sucesso.

[@stevencochran5301]

As it was offered.

[@gregmock6808]

Sounds like she's got that funky Little Feat going on...probably Billy Payne on organ....sounds like Willie Fulton on guitar.....maybe Bonnie...nice cut

[@tovarisch2788]

The personnel are listed above. Your guesses are wrong! :)

[@gregmock6808]

@@tovarisch2788 didn't notice them...but guessing is still fun! I'll check it out.

[@RicG.]

👍 😎

[@FirstnameLastname-zq6yf]

This is gorgeous. And seeing so many lyric videos from this album is GREAT. But it has a bunch of errors. At 1:47 in, there's a typo: the word "YOU" appears twice. It shouldn't be in the all-caps line. I found several more but somehow they didn't post with this comment. Somebody needs a proofreader.

[@ramon7289]

😂😮

[@The1JesseArcherAzar]

Seems so evil. Like voyeuristic.

[@etamommy]

oh the lyric - yeah - good point. Not sure what that means that she's always ridin' shotgun just waitin' for you to blow. It might be that we are looking at the lyric too literally.

[@ravenmckinnon5526]

This is a nope for me
