Raitt, Bonnie - Thing Called Love Lyrics






Don't have to humble yourself to me,
I ain't your judge or your king
Baby, you know I ain't no queen of sheba
We may not even have our dignity,
This could be just a powerful thing
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba

Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for the thing called love
I ain't some icon carved out of soap
Sent here to clean up your reputation
Baby, you know you ain't no prince charming
We can live in fear or act out of hope
For some kind of peaceful situation
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming

Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
And glide off down the lake
Whether your sunglasses are off or on
You only see the world you make

Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves

Are you ready for it
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves

Are you ready for it
Are you ready for love, baby
Oooh yeah babe
Are you ready for love

    Really hitting her stride at this point. But who is that egotistical narcisist playing off of her? Charming no one but himself.

    B.... F....

    He and Bonnie were very good friends and he was intentionally trying to embarrass her as a joke. I find this video hilarious and fun.

    B.... F....

    Do you mean Dennis? This is from one of his movies probably.

  9. j.... b....

    Love it but the words are SO stupid.

  10. D.... R....

    I didn't know Dennis Quaid was in this video with Bonnie Raitt and the band? Cool!

  11. T.... W....

    dennis quaid was sooo sexxii

  12. M.... G....

    Oh my gosh...I was not prepared for Dennis Quaid to be in this video. Like early 90s Dennis Quaid. Woah....

  48. 3.... ....

    The music is tight. The slide guitar over the drums and bass. The bass was subtle but amazing. Bonnie and Dennis must be good friends.

  49. E.... W....

    Grandma singing to a cheap Rowdy Roddy Piper wannabe!

  50. C.... D....

    If Lea Thompson wasnt pretty...

  51. M.... O....

    She's got a lot of emotion and power in her voice, and she's dead on with the beat.

  52. k.... ....

    La mejor

  53. F.... V....

    I think he looks like the !Joker from Batman when he smiles, actually he looks quit hideous!

    F.... V....

    Frank V said NO woman ever

  54. S.... M....

    To me, this is the hottest music video of all time. Those looks across the room *smolder*.

  55. D.... M....

    this has always been fine,,got her fathers genes,,form what I heard !

  56. I.... S....

    242 people on here have no ear for real music.

  57. D.... F....

    I've wanted his boots from the moment I first saw this video. Delicious!

  58. S.... ....

    lil' disappointed to revisit the video. My memory had falsely imagined Quaid being much more over the top and goofy with his lust.

  59. j.... b....

    Great video. The songs’ word are just stupid though

  60. j.... ....

    My favorite John Hiatt ditty <3

  61. G.... W....

    Bonnie would have been a great fit in the Traveling Wilburies . What do YOU think ?

  62. T.... ....

    After five years off (being dropped by Warner Brother Records), Bonnie returned to recording with Capitol Records with this. Her first big hit.

  63. R.... B....

    Great song, it's been a while!

  64. T.... B....

    Been a fan since my 1983 trip to LANL's life sciences division , thanks to my dear friend H.C., PhD. Grateful ever since.....

  65. s.... ....

    absolutely the sexist woman to strap on a guitar. Next time you're in New Orleans Miss Bonnie, let's do lunch.

  66. J.... W....

    How does anyone NOT like this tune?!

  67. P.... T....

    Great song! Turn it up!

  68. D.... M....

    Great song lame video. I love Bonnie Raitt. Did she ever do a bad song?

  69. R.... A....

    One of the best voices ever!

  70. M.... ....

    She changed a few of John Hiatt's lyrics. But she can get away with it.

  71. R.... A....

    That Dennis Quaid smile....

  72. m.... m....

    any song by john hiatt done by bonnie is just fine with me

  73. S.... M....

    Going to See James Taylor and Bonnie this week Columbia, SC

  74. J.... G....

    I pray for Lady Gaga to do a cover of this song

  75. a.... ....

    Bonnie is the new queen of Blues (settle down now - Aretha was the first & she is in heaven preparing the best music in heaven for us in long years to come! And just like presidents, when they pass the crown they have a pan! Really her own style! I'm straight but I have a woman crush on this terrific woman & pro singer. Thanks Bonnie!

  76. E.... R....

    At first I thought it was Michael O'Keeffe (Danny Noonan from Caddyshack) who she was married to in the 90's. But yeah, I guess it screams Dennis Quaid.

  77. G.... H....

    such a fun song, so different than typical chord progression. and Bonnie, you melt my heart every time.

  78. D.... D....

    214 rocks....

  79. �.... �....

    Is it a movie?

  80. O.... A....

    do someone know what kind of music it is ?or do you know some songs same than that ?

  81. S.... P....

    I used to have one of those Sun Records T-Shirts back in the day.

  82. j.... n....

    Always Loved her.....

  83. B.... J....

    Hiatt's version is still the one. Raw, right to the bone.

  84. S.... M....

    Damn, The Voice always introducing me to good songs.

  85. G.... ....

    Love Bonnie Raitt music.

  86. M.... D....
