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.

I'm on Your Side Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
Baby, won't you come and tell me
Tell me what we're gonna do...yeah, baby
I've tried everything I know just to,
Just to try and get along with you
Wake up in the morning and already
You are aimin for a fight
No matter what I say or do
I'm never gonna get it right
But ain't we gettin kind of tore down
Always layin it on the line
I don't think that when they called it love
This what they had in mind
[Chorus:]
(Hey) Baby, don't you know that
I'm on your side
All you got to do now, darlin...
Take my little heart and open wide
Hey baby, I know we can work it out
Might take a little mojo workin, baby
But ain't that what love is all about?
Hey, Baby, must be somethin bout this
push and pull
makes me wonder if we stir it up...
just to make sure things'll never get dull.
Come on baby take the gloves off
and then untie those shoes
I got something more tantalizin
For you left and right to do
[Chorus]
