  • Hey, yeah, yeah

    Above the fray, my heart got tucked away
    And I finally found some peace
    I lost the taste for it, the pain and the waste of it
    Love just wasn't meant for me

    Just when I thought the coast was finally clear
    You come busting in the door
    And pull me outta here
    Now there's no denying, baby, what you're doing to me
    Honey, I ain't lying, 'cause baby feels so good to me

    I did my best to put you to the test
    And I brought out my darkest stuff
    I pulled in tight, pushed back with all my might
    And still you couldn't get enough

    My last defense is slipping out of reach
    You got me where you want me
    Now I'm fallin' into the breach
    Now there's no denying, baby, what you're doing to me
    Ain't no use in trying, 'cause baby, you're so good to me

    After all that Sturm and Drang
    I gave up long ago
    One too many times around
    And nothing left to show
    You got that something, baby
    That shakes me to the core
    Pulled me straight out by the roots
    And got me howling more

    Just goes to show
    No way you'll ever know
    What love's got up her sleeve
    You think the game's up
    Heading home and guess what?
    She shows up with a sweet reprieve
    No use in wondering if it's real or if it's not
    With nothing left to lose you might as well give it a shot

    Now there's no denying, baby, what you're doing to me
    Ain't no use in trying, 'cause baby, we were meant to be

    Meant to be
    Meant to be, yeah Writer/s: Bonnie Raitt
