1. ' told me baby,
You were just too tired to try,
There was nothing left for you to give
And no more tears to cry.
I know she hurt you,
But you know I've been hurt too.
You just come to me, we'll see
What a love can do.
2. ' told me baby,
I was still too young to know,
All the ways that love was going to drag you down,
And just how low I'd go. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bonnie_raitt/you_told_me_baby.html ]
In love and time between us,
Makes no difference at all.
You know, You're as desperate to get back up,
As I am not to fall.
Bridge:
Oh, baby, I've been looking for a man like you. . .
Oh, darling,
After all we've been through
There's no one left to fool;
Nothing left for us to do,
Except me and you.
Instrumental break
3. ' told me baby,
To find somebody new.
Do you really think that I'd come this far,
Just to lose a man like you?
You know you've got to take a chance,
If only you will stay.
And if you've got the time baby, I've got the love,
We might just find a way (4x).
