Be My Baby lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Ronettes)
The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me?
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
So won't you, please?
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh
I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So come on and please
(Be my, be my baby)
Won't be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling
(Be my, be my baby)
Come on, be my baby now
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So come on and please
(Be my, be my baby)
Won't be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Be my, be my baby
(Be my little baby)
My one and only baby
Say you'll be my darling
Be my, be my baby
Be my baby now
Be my, be my baby
Won't be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
Be my, be my baby
My one and only baby...
One Fine Day lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Chiffons)
One fine day
You'll look at me
And you will know
Our love was meant to be
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
The arms I long for
Will open wide
And you'll be proud
To have me by your side
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you're the kind of guy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting and someday, darling
You'll come to me
When you want to settle down, oh
One fine day
We'll meet once more
And then you'll want
The love you threw away before
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you're the kind of guy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting and someday, darling
You'll come to me
When you want to settle down, oh
One fine day
We'll meet once more
And then you'll want
The love you threw away before
One fine day
You're gonna want me for your girl
Bei Mir Bist Du Schon lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Andrews Sisters)
Of all the boys I've known and I've known some
Until I first met you I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
'Bei mir bist du schön' means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wunderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, 'bei mir bist du schön'
So kiss me and say you understand
Bei mir bist du schön
You've heard it all before but let me try to explain
'Bei mir bist du schön' means that you're grand
'Bei mir bist du schön,' it's such an old refrain
And yet I should explain, it means I am begging for your hand
I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wunderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I could say 'bella, bella' even 'sehr wunderbar'
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain 'bei mir bist du schn'
So kiss me and say that you will understand!
Baby It's You lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Shirelles)
It's not the way you smile that touched my heart. (sha la la la la)
It's not the way you kiss that tears me apart.
Uh, oh, many, many, many nights go by,
I sit alone at home and I cry over you.
What can I do.
Can't help myself, myself 'cause baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.
(sha la la la la)
You should hear what they say about you, "cheat," "cheat." (sha la la la la)
They say, they say you never never ever been true. (cheat cheat)
Uh oh,
It doesn't matter what they say,
I know I'm gonna love you any old way.
What can I do, and it's true.
Don't want nobody, nobody, oh baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you. (sha la la la la la la)
(sha la la la la la la)
Uh oh,
It doesn't matter what they say,
I know I'm gonna love you any old way.
What can I do, when it's true.
I don't want nobody, nobody, oh, oh baby, it's you.
Baby, it's you.
Don't leave me all alone...
Baby, it's you...
Tell Him lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Exciters)
I know something about love, you've gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood, go out and get him
If you want him to be the very part of you
That makes you want to breathe, here's the thing to do...
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
I know something about love. You gotta show it and make him
See the moon up above. Reach out and get it
If you want him to make your heart sing out
And if you want him to only think of you...
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Ever since the world began it's been that way
For man and woman were created to make love their destiny
Then why should true love be so complicated? Oh...
I know something about love. You gotta take it and
Show him what the world is made of, one kiss will prove it
If you want him to be always by your side
Take his hand tonight and swallow your foolish pride and.
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
He's Sure The Boy I Love lyrics - Bette Midler (duet with Darlene Love)
(originally by The Crystals)
I always dreamed the boy I loved would come along
And he'd be tall and handsome, rich and strong.
Now that boy I love has come to me,
But he sure ain't the way I thought he'd be.
He doesn't look like a movie star,
He doesn't drive a Cadillac car,
He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of,
But he's sure the boy I love.
Let me tell ya now,
He' never be a big business man
He always buys on the installment plan
He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of,
But he's sure the boy I love.
When he holds me tight,
Everythings right,
Crazy as it seems,
I'm his, whatever he is,
And I forget all of my dreams,
And everybody knows...
He doesn't hang diamonds round my neck,
And all he's got's an unemployment check
He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of,
But he's sure the boy I love.
When he holds me tight,
Everythings right,
Crazy as it seems,
I'm his, whatever he is,
And I forget all of my dreams,
And everybody knows...
He doesn't hang diamonds round my neck,
And all he's got's an unemployment check
He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of,
But he's sure the boy I love.
He's sure the boy I love
He's sure the boy I love...
Mr. Sandman lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Chordettes)
(bung, bung, bung, bung..........)
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Mr. Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
(bung, bung, bung, bung.....)
Mr. Sandman ([male voice:] Yesss?) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr Sandman, bring me dream
Bring me a dream
(bung, bung, bung, bung....)
Hey, Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, Sandman I'm so alone
Don't have nobody here I can call my own
So, please, please, please why don't you turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring us, oh please please please bring us a dream.
Bring me a dream, bring me a dream, bring me a dream, bring us a dream
Come And Get These Memories lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by Martha and The Vandellas)
Here's your old friendship ring
I can't wear it no more
Here's your old love letters
I can't read them any more
Lover, you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories
Here's that old teddy bear
That you won from me at the state fair
Here's some old valentine cards
Give it to your new sweetheart
Lover, you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories
Here's our old favorite record
Can't stand to hear it anymore
It's just an old lingering love song
It's in my heart and it's tearing it apart, tearing it apart
Because of these memories
I never think of anybody, never think of anybody but you
So, come on and get'em, come on and get'em baby
Come on and get'em and let me found somebody new
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
My mind and heart can be at ease
Since you've gone out of my life
Give them to your new love
Give them to your new love
So come on and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Since you've gone out of my life
Since you've gone out of my life
Too Many Fish In The Sea lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Marvelettes)
Now listen here, girls
Take this advice, and remember always in life:
Into each heart some tears must fall
Though you love and lose, you must stand tall
'Cause we all got to cry sometimes
I said, sigh sometimes
Pull yourself together
No use crying forever
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
My mother once told me something
And every word is true
Don't waste your time on a fella
Who doesn't love you
He'll only mislead you
Only grieve you
Don't worry about him let him go
Do without him
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
Well, if the fish isn't on your line
Just bait your hook and keep on trying
Don't let him get you down
There's other boys around
Because there's too many fish in the sea
Too many fish in the sea
I said, there's short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too many fish in the sea
I don't want nobody that don't want me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
Ain't gonna love nobody that don't love me,
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't need nobody that don't need me
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea
I don't want nobody that don't love me,
'Cause there's too many fish in the sea...
Teach Me Tonight lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The DeCastro Sisters)
Did you say, I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me tonight
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me tonight
I love if you only let me
So come on did you spot me
And teach me tonight
Waterfalls lyrics - Bette Midler
A lonely mother gazing out of the window
Staring at her son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep himself out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
But he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is, "Baby is good to me"
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place
I told him
Don't go chasing waterfalls, just stick to the rivers
And the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast (moving too fast)
Moving too fast (moving too fast)
Don't go (don't go) chasing waterfalls (waterfalls), please stick to the rivers
(Oh my darling) And the lakes that you're used to (stick to what you're used to)
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Moving too fast
You Can't Hurry Love lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Supremes)
I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin' on
When I feel my strength, yeah
It's almost gone
I remember mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?
No I can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These precious words keeps me hangin' on
I remember mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy, darling
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
No, love, love, love don't come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy
It ain't easy
No it ain't easy
But mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy, darling
It's a game of give and take...
Give Him A Great Big Kiss lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Shangri-Las)
Here comes my guy, walking down the street
Look how he walks with a dancing beat
Thick wavy hair, a little too long
All day long he's singing his song
And when I see him in the street
My heart takes a leap and skips a beat
Gonna walk right up to him
Give him a great big kiss
Tell him that I love him
Tell him that I care
Tell him that I'll always be there
Well, what color are his eyes?
I don't know he's always wearing shades
Is he tall?
Well, I've got to look up
Yeah? Well, I hear he's bad
Hmm, he's good, bad but he's not evil
Tell me more, tell me more
Big bulky sweaters to match his eyes
Dirty fingernails, oh, boy, what a prize
Tight tapered pants, high button shoes
He's always looking like, like he's got the blues
And when I see him in the street
My heart takes a leap and skips a beat
I gonna walk right up to him
Give him a great big kiss
Tell him that I love him
Tell him that I care
Tell him that I'll always be there
Is he a good dancer?
What do you mean is he a good dancer?
Well, how does he dance?
Close, very, very close
And when I see him in the street
My heart takes a leap and skips a beat
I gonna walk right up to him
Give him a great big kiss
Tell him that I love him
Tell him that I care
Tell him that I'll always be there
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Shirelles)
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a, just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You say, you say that I'm the only one,
But will my heart be broken, be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me, tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
It's The Girl lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Boswell Sisters)
It isn't the paddle, it's not the canoe,
It isn't the river or skies that are blue,
It isn't the love dreams that bring joy to you,
It's the girl, oh, it's the girl!
It isn't the progress that you always want to do,
It isn't the mountain flowers or the mornin' dew,
It isn't the love nest that brings love to you,
It's the girl that makes you happy and it's the girl that makes you blue!
You up and down men,
What a lonely world would be without them!
It isn't the songbirds, the song that they sing,
It isn't the sunshine that makes you like Spring,
So what is this magic that makes all the thing?
It's the girl, oh, it's the girl!
Some folks need atmosphere when they're makin' love,
They say old mother nature makes love grand!
Still, lovers will complain that they need a shove,
If you're a Romeo, you'll you'll gonna understand!
It isn't the paddle, it's not the canoe,
It isn't the river or skies that are blue,
It isn't the love beams that bring joy to you,
Wherever you go, whatever you do, it's the girl!
It isn't the progress that you wanna do,
It isn't the mountains, the flowers or the mornin' dew,
It isn't the love nest that brings love to you,
It's the girl, it's the girl!
It's not the places you go,
It's not the crowd,
It's not the folks you know,
So listen while I shout out loud!
It's the girl!
(Talk To Me Of) Mendocino lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by Kate & Anna McGarrigle)
I bid farewell to the state of old New York
My home away from home
In the state of New York I came of age
When first I started roaming
And the trees grow high in New York state
And they shine like gold in Autumn
Never had the blues from whence I came
But in New York state I caught 'em
Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait, must I follow?
Won't you say "Come with me?"
And it's on to Southbend, Indiana
Flat out on the Western plains
Rise up over the Rockies and down on into California
Out to where but the rocks remain
And let the sun set on the ocean
I will watch it from the shore
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
I'll rise with it till I rise no more
Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes, I hear the sea
Must I wait, must I follow?
Won't you say "Come with me?"
Blueberry Pie lyrics - Bette Midler
Blueberry Pie, he walks on by
And I don't know what to do
With that Blueberry Pie
But I'm gonna try
Oh, Blueberry Pie, sad and shy
Won't you come out of your shell?
Life is swell, so are you!
Please don't be so very blue
Come on blue! There is a party in your head
Be my friend and we will laugh 'til we turn red
Want to know why I picked you from the bunch?
You looked so sweet -- let's say I had a hunch
That you'd be silly, I'd be silly;
We'd be a pair!
Life is peachy, let's go bananas
No one will care!
Blueberry Pie, let's have fun
'cause when all is said and done
I love you, yes I do
'cause, Blueberry, you're true blue
Oh, Blueberry, you're so very berry blue
Oh, so very berry blue
I love a Blueberry. I hug a Blueberry
Oh, yes I do. You know I do
Irresistable you! Irrepresable you!
I love a Blueberry. I hug a Blueberry. I love a Blueberry
Don't you know it? I, I mean to show it
You know I mean to show it
Berry blue, berry, berry blue
Blueberry Pie, he's from the upper-crust;
Rolling in dough, he's half-baked and bound to bust!
So don't be flaky
Come on, now, take me to your bakery
We'll be jamming, ovens slamming
The whole world will see
Blueberry Me! Without you
There would be no berry pie
Tell me why you can't see
You are necessary
Blueberry Pie, let's have fun
'cause when all is said and done
I love you, yes I do
'cause, Blueberry, you're true blue!
Oh, Blueberry, you're so very berry blue!
Oh, so very berry blue
I love a Blueberry. I hug a Blueberry. I love a Blueberry
Oh, love a Blueberry. He's so necessary, to people!
I love a Blueberry. I hug a Blueberry. I love a Blueberry
Oh, he's so necessary. He's so necessary
Blueberry Pie!
The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game lyrics - Bette Midler
(originally by The Marvelettes)
Every day things change
And the world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange
And this whole world seems like a new place
Oh yeah, secretly I've been trailin' you
Like a fox that prays on the rabbit
I had to get you and so I knew
I had to learn your ways and your habits
Ooh, you were the catch that I was after
But I looked up, and I was in your arms
And I knew I had been captured
What's this whole world comin' to
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter...
Gets captured by the game
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah, I had laid such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
But love hit me like a sudden slap
One kiss, and then I knew it
Ooh, my plan didn't work out like I thought
I had laid my trap for you
But it seems that I got caught
What's this whole world comin' to
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter...
Gets captured by the game
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
