Bonnie Raitt Picture
Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues/R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt. Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. Later she would become famous for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more...I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist.

Have a Heart Lyrics

Bonnie Raitt

Hey!
Shut up.
Dont lie to me.
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 couldnt handle the little bit of love you took.
Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you dont love me, why dont you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh dont you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.
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 dont love me, why dont you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh dont 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 dont love me, why dont you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh dont you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.
But dont you run away baby.
