Unnecesarily Mercenary (LIVE)

[Instrumental Blues Intro]

[Verse 1]: Bonnie Raitt

You're just into looking after #1

Only thing you worry 'bout is having your fun

First sign of trouble, it's understood

You'll get going while the going's still good

You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

[Verse 2]: Jon Cleary

You're a secret agent got a hidden agenda

Got me in your sights, think I'm a real big spender

Stick around baby, pretty soon you'll see

I ain't got no money but my love is for free

You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

[Chorus]: Bonnie Raitt, Jon Cleary, Both

You're a gun for hire whеn a war breaks out

Loving on the front line 'til thе money runs out

Finger on the trigger, baby pull it and see

If your mercenary tactic's gonna work on me!

You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

[Instrumental Jam]

[Chorus]: Bonnie Raitt, Jon Cleary, Both

You're a gun for hire when a war breaks out

Loving on the front line 'til the money runs out

Yeah, your finger's on the trigger, (yeah) baby pull it and see

If your mercenary tactic's gonna work on me!

[Outro]: Bonnie Raitt, Jon Cleary, Both

You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

(Break it down, now!)

You're so very (very) unnecessarily mercenary, babe

(Don't you know that you're so) very unnecessarily mercenary

You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

You're so...

[Instrumental Blues Jam to finish]

[Spoken]: Bonnie Raitt
