You Got To Know How - Bonnie Raitt, Friends, Lowell George

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
