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.

I Will Not Be Denied Lyrics

Bonnie Raitt

I will not be denied by jerry l. williams
A true love story
Is hard to find
Cant get no rest
Got no peace of mind
You say you gave
Your heart to me
You put me down
You set me free
You said youre deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
I guess you know he is because
Deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Always takes you by surprise
There you was
The only one
Coming on me and ruining my fun
Leave me setting
At home all alone
Waitin on your call by the telephone
You said youre deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
Guess you know you always was deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Finally made me realize
That I tried and tried
But you just cant get enough
So you lied and lied and lied
I will not be denied
Im gonna plant a seed
I will not be denied
Of the man and the love I need
Said youre deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
Guess you know you are because
Deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Always takes you by surprise
Its a sad situation
When yes its true
I can say it baby
Im through with you
Its over now
And in the past
Gonna find me a man
With a love thatll last
You know hes deadly
Everybody said you was deadly
Guess you know you always been
Deadly
Comes in every shape and size
Deadly
Finally made me realize
That I tried and tried
But you just couldnt get enough
And so you
Lied and lied and lied
And I will not be denied
I will not be denied
I will not be denied
