Blasphemy....
P's Version is alright, but he could've of made it so great if he really applied himself to it. George Michaels Live rendition is what i based my version on i did it with some added elements though... lo-fi URL: http://www.soundclick.com...63195&q=lo hi-fi URL: http://www.soundclick.com...63195&q=hi Michaels did an unbelievable version of it I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned

well, prince did...so umm... Yup, I agree with you. It's one of my favorite songs by Bonnie and I was so disappointed with his version. I like the first part, but the sexual lyrics are way too much, they just don't fit in this song. | |

Bonnie Raitt did a great version of John Prine's "Angel from Montegomery". I still like P's version "I can't make you love me", specifically because he hams it up towards the end. | |

No kidding! It's an incredible song, and I think anyone would be moved by it. I listened to it after a heartbreak myself!  Wanna hear me sing?  www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

Agreed. The song is all about complete surrender, which is what made the original so heartbreaking. The addition of the loverman-in-control adlibs fuck it all up.  I was shocked by them the first time I heard his version, actually.The Normal Whores Club | |

Here are the added lyrics: (I can't make U love me if U don't) Come here, baby (I can't make your heart feel something it won't) Talk 2 me, tell me where U wanna be kissed Talk 2 me, tell me how U want me 2 do this In this bedroom/church, U can guess the offering I offer U (My heart) I offer U sexual relations (But U won't) But U won't (U won't) Tell me what's up baby? Am I moving 2 fast? Not only do I wanna be the first, I wanna be the last, the last Is that so bad? I.. I want 2.. U know I wanna, I wanna, I wanna make U love me (Do U love me?) Come on baby, U can take it (My heart) (Come on and take it) It's real love - I wanna make it (I wanna) But U won't love me, love me (But U won't) U won't love me, baby What's a man 2 do? What is this man gonna do? I can't make U love me if U don't I want U 2 (love me) love me I need U 2 (kiss me, yeah) Oh darlin' (Love me) Love me {x5} Turn down the lights, turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me, tell me no lies Just hold me close between your thighs  [Edited 10/3/06 11:41am] Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

Also one of my favs of hers! That whole album is one of my regulars for road trips. I've loved Bonnie since '73 & she's still rockin' it! | |
