you got to know how

Singer:bonnie raitt

you can make me do what you wanna do

but you got to know how

you can make me cry

you can make me sigh

but you got to know how

you can make me do like this

you can make me do like that

woh

baby

but you got to know how. once a pal of mine stole a guy of mine

but i got him back

now

it's the same old song

she couldn't keep him long

'cause she didn't know how. well

i love my man

i make him holler

woh

my

yessir

i really know how. technique ain't tough

if you care enough

you can learn to know how

i might drop a hint how to strike my flint

if you yearn to know how

well

don't tell me about the life you led

don't try to drink me into bed

no

baby

no

that ain't the way how. you got to take your time

you know it ain't no crime

if it lasts all night. i think you'll be ideal when you begin to feel

that you're doin' right. when you love me right

you hear me holler

woh

my

yessir

when you really know how. and if you stay with me

who knows how it will be

when we finally know how

we'll get a house in town

no need to move around

when we really know how

well

there's tricks that i don't even know

ones we'll make up as we go. woh

mister

when we really know how. yes

mister

when we really know how.
