Nothing Seems To Matter
Bonnie Raitt
Kokomo Music -ASCAP

Seems like such a long time since I held you my arms,
and felt you close and warm beside me,
another night is getting late and I'm alone with just the ache
and the memory of you beside me.

Darling, I've never been so blue,
I've tried to see it through,
there's nothing I can do.
I won't make it on my own,
so won't you please hurry home,
'cause nothing seems to matter without you.

Last time I saw you,
there was nothing we could say,
We knew it was a time for a change,
a time to think you said that night,
and I lied and said all right,
I left you in the morning,
I watched you in the window,
and Mexico will never be the same.

It was time to be apart,
but somehow it seems this heart of mine,
will never find a way to live without you.
And now I'm out here on the road
and I'm feeling bought and sold,
and tonight I just can't but think about you.

Darling, I've never been so blue,
I've tried to see it through,
there's nothing I can do,
I won't make it on my own
so darling won't you hurry home,
because nothing seems to matter without you.
No, nothing seems to matter without you.

I Know
Barbara George
At last pub co. - BMI

I know you don't love me no more;
no, no more; and I don't
(don't) wanna be hurted any more,
any more; yeah, yeah,
I've loved so hard, everything I did was no joy; if I can't
love you right, baby, I don't have to love you at all

I know you don't want me no more, no more
No, no more
And it had to be someone loving you more
Lovin' you more
Ain't no use in me cryin' now all because you have put me down
If you don't want me no more baby, ain't no use in me hanging around.

Love me like a man
(Chris Smither, Lyrics adapted by Bonnie Raitt)
Poppy Music/Homoculus Music -ASCAP

The men that I've been seeing
well they got their soul up on a shelf
you know they could never love me
cuz they can't even love themselves

But I want someone to love me
baby I want one to understand
Won't put himself above me
Who can love me like a man

I never seen such losers
even though I tried
Find a mind to take me home instead of
taking me for a ride

Baby, I use someone to care
Believe it when I tell you darlin'
you can love me like a man

Oh they want me to rock them
like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man whose gonna rock me
like my backbone was his own

baby, I want to wait until you can
Believe it when I tell you darlin'
You can love me like a man

Come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
Come over here and hold me baby
and don't ever ask the reason why
I said I, I want a lover
Won't have to work to understand

Don't put yourself above me baby
Love me like a man

You Told Me Baby
Bonnie Raitt
Kokomo Music -ASCAP

1. ' told me baby,
You were just too tired to try,
There was nothing left for you to give
and no more tears to cry.

I know she hurt you,
but you know I've been hurt too.
You just come to me, we'll see
what a love can do.

2. ' told me baby,
I was still too young to know,
all the ways that love was going to drag you down,
and just how low I'd go.

In love and time between us,
makes no difference at all.
You know, You're as desperate to get back up,
as I am not to fall.

bridge:

Oh, baby, I've been looking for a man like you. . .
Oh, darling,
After all we've been through
There's no one left to fool;
Nothing left for us to do,
except me and you.

instrumental break

3. ' told me baby,
to find somebody new.
Do you really think that I'd come this far,
just to lose a man like you?

You know you've got to take a chance,
if only you will stay.
And if you've got the time baby, I've got the love,
We might just find a way (4x).

Love has no pride
Eric Kaz and Libby Titus
Kokomo Music -ASCAP

1. I've had bad dreams too many times,
to think that they don't mean much any more.
Fine times have gone and left my sad home,
friends who once cared just walk out my door.

chorus:

Love has no pride when I call out your name.
Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame.
I'd give anything to see you again.

2. I've been alone too many nights
to think that you could come back again.
But I've heard you talk: "She's crazy to stay."
But this love hurts me so, I don't care what you say.

repeat chorus

bridge:

If I could buy your love, I'd truly try my friend.
And if I could pray, my prayer would never end.
But if you want me to beg, I'll fall down on my kneews;
asking for you to come back...
I'd be pleading for you to come back...
beggin for you to come back to me.

repeat chorus

tag line:
Yes, I'd give anything to see you again.
