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.

Matters Of The Heart Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
Broken heart, bloodshot stare
Signs of a fool who cared too much
Now shes gone and he cant remember how
To live without her touch
Hopin to die but surely livin to tell
When it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool wont get used to
So he found someone afraid his heart would follow the heat
He could hardly do more than pretend
Though she knew in her heart that his love was alive
When it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool wont get used to
Now of all the things love teaches
All the ways that it opens our eyes
None more profound than the lesson he learned
The day she walked out of his life
Well when the road gets too narrow
Its then he remembers her smile
And he sees these words forming on her lips
Across a river of tears he once cried
When it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool wont get used to
