Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Never Make Your Move Too Soon

Three days of snow in a burnin' hell,

Bet you're wonderin' where I am,

Rang that number all night long,

Got no comfort on the telephone,

Went out and caught me a midnight flight,

Thought a little love would make it all alright,

But the landlord said you moved away and left me all of your bills to pay,

Look out baby I think you might have made your move too soon.

He left me with a Keno card, livin' in Vegas ain't too hard,

I ran it up to about 50 grand, counted it out and held it in my hand,

That kinda word will get around, and make a lost love come up found,

I hear ya knockin' baby at my door, but you don't live here no more,

Oh no, I think he made his move too soon.

I've been from Spain to Tokyo, from Africa to Ohio,

I never try to make the news, I'm just a man who sings those low down blues,

I'll take my lovin everywhere, I come back to know they still care,

One love ahead, one love behind, one in my arms, one on my mind,

One thing baby never make a move too soon

Yeah baby, never make your move too soon,

Well you can count on this baby, we never make a move too soon

(Too soon)
