Bonnie Raitt - I Will Not Be Denied lyrics

i will not be denied by jerry l. williams

a true love story

is hard to find

can't get no rest

got no peace of mind

you say you gave

your heart to me

you put me down

you set me free

you said youre deadly

everybody said you was deadly

i guess you know he is because

deadly

comes in every shape and size

deadly

always takes you by surprise

there you was

the only one

coming on me and ruining my fun

leave me setting

at home all alone

waitin on your call by the telephone

you said youre deadly

everybody said you was deadly

guess you know you always was deadly

comes in every shape and size

deadly

finally made me realize

that i tried and tried

but you just cant get enough

so you lied and lied and lied

i will not be denied

i'm gonna plant a seed

i will not be denied

of the man and the love i need

said youre deadly

everybody said you was deadly

guess you know you are because

deadly

comes in every shape and size

deadly

always takes you by surprise

its a sad situation

when yes its true

i can say it baby

i'm through with you

its over now

and in the past

gonna find me a man

with a love that'll last

you know he's deadly

everybody said you was deadly

guess you know you always been

deadly

comes in every shape and size

deadly

finally made me realize

that i tried and tried

but you just couldnt get enough

and so you

lied and lied and lied

and i will not be denied

i will not be denied

i will not be denied
