Time: 2:15, the AM.
Place: Ronardo's "Boom-Boom-Room" on South Street.
I'm a hot blonde and it was a cold night.
This is my story. I ain't ashamed to tell it.
I was hungry, tired and lookin' for love.
I was just a pilgrim in the hot pursuit of love.
Wandered from disco to disco,
that's all my life was.
Suddenly you danced up against me.
It felt warm and smooth.
I knew in an instant
that you were my moment of darkest truth.
Oh, my knight in black leather,
hold me tight and love me forever.
Rings on your fingers, love in your heart.
Knight in black leather, we'll never part.
Only you can shine the light
on the dark side of my mind.
And your evil sweetness
leaves a trail of lovers behind.
When you crush me to your heart
I feel just like a queen.
I'm a willing victim.
Tell me, all my life where have you been?
Oh, my knight in black leather,
hold me tight and love me forever.
Rings on your fingers, love in your heart.
Knight in black leather, we'll never part, haaa.
Oh, my knight in black leather,
take me down and love me forever.
Walk on through the halls of my soul.
Knight in black leather.
And you've got control.
Oh, don't ya know, baby?
You're my knight!
C'mon and love me forever!
Rings on your fingers, love on demand.
Knight in black leather,
oh, you've got command.
And how I love ya, baby.
Whoa, my knight!
Sweet, sweet knight!
You know that I love you, I love you, love you!
We'll never pa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aart!
(We're the knights in black leather,
and we will chain you down
and love you forever.
Walk on through the halls of your soul.
Yeah, the knights inblack leather.
We're in controoooool!)
You know he smells just like a brand new car,
'cause everything he owns is leather!
A leather shirt, leather hat,
leather gloves, leather spats,
leather chaps, leather pants,
leather socks, leather cap,
leather coat! leather wrap!
leather neck! leather ring!
LEATHER THING!!!!!!!
We'll never pa-aa-aa-aart!
Oh, my knight in black leather!
Take us down! Love me honey, come on, love me!
You got to hold me, hold me!
We'll never pa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aart!
Whoa-oh-ooo-oh-oh! . . .

Hurricane Lyrics – Bette Midler
You drove into town like the wind.
Hot on the heels of the rain.
And in your eyes all is calm.
That's why they call you Hurricane.
You blow me away.
You blow me away.
Ooh, what a powerful force
howling around in my brain.
Knocking me down with your touch.
Mmm, that's why they call you Hurricane.
You blow me away.
Oh, oh, you blow me away.
Hurricane gonna kill me!
Honey, you sure do thrill me!
Swallow me without a sound.
Hurricane is a-rising,
hot and so surprising.
Forecast warns I'm gonna drown.
Blow me and swell me on down.
You blow me away.
You blow me away!
Ah, ah-mmm, blow me away.

Ah, honey you sure do thrill me!
Swallow me without a sound.
Hurricane is a-rising,

Give me a ride, won't you Hurricane?
You blow me away.
You blow me away.
Oh, Hurricane, blow me away.

Rain Lyrics – Bette Midler
Come on down lightning.
Come on down thunder.
Come on down raindrops.
Don't leave me to wonder.
Life ain't worth loving,
love ain't worth having
without you.
Come on down heartache.
Come on down pain.
Come on down teardrops,
falling like rain.
Life ain't worth loving,
love ain't worth having
without you.
Come on down hurting.
Whoa, that's for certain.
Whoa-o-oh, coming down blind.
Don't it feel like it's skirtin',
and pouring down rain forever more?
Coming down harder than ever before.
Wahhh, blow on in north wind,
blow in the cold.
Losin' my senses;
losin' control.
Whoa, need my baby so bad.
I go crazy without you.
Coming down heavy.
Coming down light.
Coming down daytime.
Coming down all night.
Need my baby so bad.
I go crazy.
Life ain't worth livin',
love ain't worth havin'
without you.
Rainin' down rain,
pourin' down pain
without you.
Come on down thunder.
Come on down raindrops.
Don't leave me to wonder.
Life ain't worth loving,
love ain't worth having
without you.
Come on down heartache.
Come on down pain.
Come on down teardrops,
falling like rain.
Life ain't worth loving,
love ain't worth having
without you.
Come on down hurting.
Whoa, that's for certain.
Whoa-o-oh, coming down blind.
Don't it feel like it's skirtin',
and pouring down rain forever more?
Coming down harder than ever before.
Wahhh, blow on in north wind,
blow in the cold.
Losin' my senses;
losin' control.
Whoa, need my baby so bad.
I go crazy without you.
Coming down heavy.
Coming down light.
Coming down daytime.
Coming down all night.
Need my baby so bad.
I go crazy.
Life ain't worth livin',
love ain't worth havin'
without you.
Rainin' down rain,
pourin' down pain
without you.
Married Men Lyrics – Bette Midler
The world is full of married men
with wives who never understand.
They're looking for someone to share
the excitement of a love affair.
And just as soon as they find you
they'll wine you and dine you.
Fly on the wings of romance.
But in the eyes of the world
you're just another girl
who loves a married man.
Uh! They do it, they do it, they do it, they do it
again and again.
Ow! They do it, they do it, they do it, they do it.

He promises to marry you.

gets too hot to handle.
He'll say he just wants to be friends.
And then he'll walk outta your life
and go home to his wife
'cause he's a married man.
Oh, your love is a secret.
You've got to sneak it
long as you can.
Don't cry for your lover.

Midnight In Memphis Lyrics – Bette Midler
It's midnight in Memphis
and all the boys are out tonight.
Oh, midnight in Memphis,
but my true love is not in sight.
The neon's glowing,
but I just don't see the light.
I'm following my footsteps
trying to find myself a friend.
Oh, baby! Following my footsteps
trying to see where they might end.
I'm tryin' to break these blues,
but I can't even get them to bend.
Oh, midnight in Memphis.
Well, ya take me away.
Midnight in Memphis.
It's a long, long time
before the day.
Runnin' down on Beale Street.
Can you hear that engine roar?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Runnin' down on Beale Street.
There's a girl in every door.
Yeah, it don't matter what you got,
they're asking me for more.
Play it for me one time, boys.
I heard the river risin',
risin' up over my head.
Yeah, heard the river risin',
and this is what it said:
"I don't need no live ones;
I just take care of the dead."
Oh, midnight in Memphis.
Take me, take me away.
Midnight in Memphis.
It's a long, long time
before the day.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, midnight in Memphis.
Midnight in Memphis.
Midnight in Memphis.

When A Man Loves A Woman Lyrics – Bette Midler
When he held me in his arms,
when he held me in his arms and said,
"Baby, baby, baby, you are the only one for me."
When a man loves a woman,
can't keep his mind on nothing else.
He'll trade the world
for the good thing he found.
Yeah, if she's bad, he can't see it.
She can do no wrong.
Turn his back on his best friend
if he put her down.
When a man loves a woman,
spend his very last dime
tryin' to hold on to what he needs.
Give up all his comforts,
go out and sleep out in the rain,
if she says, "Baby, that is how it's gonna be."
When a man loves a woman,
give up everything that he has,
tryin' to hold on to her precious love,
cryin, "Baby, baby please don't treat me bad."
When a man loves a woman
down deep in his soul,
she can bring him such misery.
If she's playin' him for a fool
he's the last one to know.
Lovin' eyes don't ever see.
So, this man says he loves me, he loves me.
He gives me everything, everything,
everything that he has,
tryin' to hold on to my precious love,
cryin', "Baby, baby, baby, don't you, don't you
treat me, treat me bad."
Ohhhh, oh I need him.
Yeah, when a man loves a woman
he can do her no wrong.
He could never hold another girl.
Why you tell me you love me, baby,
and run out ah-ah-ah-on the sly?
Baby, baby, this is a man's world.
No, no.
Oh, baby, change has got to come
in this man's world.
when he held me in his arms and said,
"Baby, baby, baby, you are the only one for me."
When a man loves a woman,
can't keep his mind on nothing else.
He'll trade the world
for the good thing he found.
Yeah, if she's bad, he can't see it.
She can do no wrong.
Turn his back on his best friend
if he put her down.
When a man loves a woman,
spend his very last dime
tryin' to hold on to what he needs.
Give up all his comforts,
go out and sleep out in the rain,
if she says, "Baby, that is how it's gonna be."
When a man loves a woman,
give up everything that he has,
tryin' to hold on to her precious love,
cryin, "Baby, baby please don't treat me bad."
When a man loves a woman
down deep in his soul,
she can bring him such misery.
If she's playin' him for a fool
he's the last one to know.
Lovin' eyes don't ever see.
So, this man says he loves me, he loves me.
He gives me everything, everything,
everything that he has,
tryin' to hold on to my precious love,
cryin', "Baby, baby, baby, don't you, don't you
treat me, treat me bad."
Ohhhh, oh I need him.
Yeah, when a man loves a woman
he can do her no wrong.
He could never hold another girl.
Why you tell me you love me, baby,
and run out ah-ah-ah-on the sly?
Baby, baby, this is a man's world.
No, no.
Oh, baby, change has got to come
in this man's world.
Sold My Soul To Rock 'n' Roll Lyrics – Bette Midler
Drive me home silver eagle.
Drive me away from last night's news.
Empty beds, crowds of people.
Oh, come on, white girl, sing the blues.
Warm mister, hold me like you love me.
Why don't you make me
feel real good for free?
And if free don't mean for nothin',
let's just say this one's on me, yeah!
You know I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
I bought these devil chains.
My baby wants me home. Can't refuse him.
Sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
It's time to take that train.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.
Whoa, I need a short vacation,
restin' in my baby's arms.
But the road goes on
forever, forever, forever.
It keeps on going,
but I'm gone, gone, gone.
Sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
Bought these devil chains.
Whoa, baby wants me home. Can't refuse him.
I sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
It's time to take that train.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.
Did you like it?
Was it good?
Don't it make you want to cry-hi-hi?
Did you like it?
Oh! Am I good?
Is it worth another try-y-y?
AAAAAAA!!!!
Sold my soul to rock 'n' roll.
It's time to take that train.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.
The one that goes from heaven
straight to Houston, ho.
Drive me away from last night's news.
Empty beds, crowds of people.
Oh, come on, white girl, sing the blues.
Warm mister, hold me like you love me.

The one that goes from heaven

Love Me With A Feeling Lyrics – Bette Midler
[Man:] "All right! She's gonna sing!"
[Rose:] "All right, we all turn to page 438.
Now, you know we all gonna sing along.
Oh, I do love a revue."
Ohhhhhh!
You know, women don't like this woman,
'cause I always speak my mind.
But the men ain't crazy about me,
'cause I love to take my time.
If you're gonna love this woman,
gotta love me with a thrill,
'cause, baby, if you don't,
I gotta find a man who will.
Love me with a feeling.
You got to love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
or you don't love me at all.
You know, I'm the kind of woman,
I don't want no halfway stuff.
If you're gonna turn me loose, baby,
be sure I had enough.
You know, the cops once took me in,
but I did not need the bail.
I just shook it for the judge and he,
he put that cop in jail.
You got to love me with a feeling.
You got to love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
or you don't love me at all.
"All right, Milledge, this one's for you."
There was one cat who could not make it,
and Milledge was his name.
The only cat I ever knew
who left before he came.
There he's a-standing,
drinkin' pop from a paper cup.
But when it's time for gettin' down,
Milledge can not get it up!
You gotta love me with a feelin'.
Yeah, love, love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
or you can't love me at all.

Stay With Me Lyrics – Bette Midler
Where did you go when things went wrong, baby?
Who did you run to?
Find a shoulder to lay your head upon.
Baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?
But, oh, no. I can't believe you're leaving me, yeah.
Stay with me, baby.
I'm beggin' you to stay with me, baby.
Yeah, stay with me, baby.
I can't go on.
Who did you touch when you needed tenderness, baby?
I gave you so much,
and in return I found happiness.
Baby, what could I do?
Maybe I was too good, too good to you.
Ohh, no, I can't believe you're leavin' me.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, stay with me, baby.
Why don't you, why don't you just stay with me, baby?

"Well, I'm a young woman, and I could get plenty of men.
But honey, keepin' 'em's the hard part, ain't it?
Yeah. Sometimes, sometimes I find I try so hard."
Maybe this time I should be the one to go away.
'Cause honey, ain't it my turn to have somebody
grab hold of me and say,
"No! Don't go! You can't go!"
Oh! Stay, stay with me, baby.

The Rose Lyrics – Bette Midler
Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.
Oh My My Lyrics – Bette Midler
[Harlettes:] She called up the doctor
to see what's the matter.
He said, "Come on over."
[Bette:] I said, "Do I have to?"

Bang, You're Dead Lyrics – Bette Midler
"Oh god, oh god.
Dumping so early in the evening.
I really didn't mean that.
I really didn't mean that."
Above the ground, I'm lifted to the sky,
and down like a tumbling weed I found myself stranded high and dry.
A circus ride, oh, it only costs a dime,
but if you wanna see the fireworks you might have to pay a lifetime.
'Cause love is a carnival
with lots of laughs, wonderful rides and danger.
But it feels so good.
With rockets shootin' in your head,
'round and 'round and 'round you go.
Bang, you're dead, baby. Bang, you're dead, baby.
Like a boomerang keeps twisting, twisting in your heart.
You know the funny part of it is, you always end up where you start.
You're headed for big clouds. Got the silver lining.
But you're in for a big surprise.
There's a river of tears behind it.
'Cause love is a carnival
with lots of baubles, bangles and beads.
Beware, beware, beware.
It feels so good, feels so good.
With rockets shootin' in your head,
'round and 'round and 'round you go.
Bang, you're dead, baby. Bang, you're dead, baby.
Above the ground I'm lifted. Spininng, spinning, spinning out of control.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher!
Above the ground I'm lifted, yeah, to the sky.
And down like a tumbling weed I found myself stranded high and dry.
A circus ride, you know it, it only costs a dime,
but if you wanna see the fireworks you might have to pay.
Hey, yeah, yeah, to the sky, high. And down like a tumbling weed
I found myself stranded, stranded.
Bang, you're dead!
Dumping so early in the evening.
I really didn't mean that.
I really didn't mean that."
Above the ground, I'm lifted to the sky,
and down like a tumbling weed I found myself stranded high and dry.
A circus ride, oh, it only costs a dime,
but if you wanna see the fireworks you might have to pay a lifetime.
'Cause love is a carnival

You know the funny part of it is, you always end up where you start.
You're headed for big clouds. Got the silver lining.

Beware, beware, beware.
It feels so good, feels so good.

Above the ground I'm lifted. Spininng, spinning, spinning out of control.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher!
Above the ground I'm lifted, yeah, to the sky.
And down like a tumbling weed I found myself stranded high and dry.
A circus ride, you know it, it only costs a dime,
but if you wanna see the fireworks you might have to pay.
Hey, yeah, yeah, to the sky, high. And down like a tumbling weed
I found myself stranded, stranded.
Bang, you're dead!
Birds Lyrics – Bette Midler
"Oh, that's so heavy.
We're goanna do a, a Neil Young song.
Neil is so heavy.
Neil is so mellow and laid back.
I'm trying my best to be mellow and laid back.
You know, I have even gone organic.
Last week I ate an Earth Shoe.
Oh, did I sing the ballad yet?
Was it wonderful? Oh, did I sing it?
I didn't sing it, did I. Oh, so sorry."
Lover, there will be another one
to hover over you beneath the sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that never come
today.
And you see me fly away without you.
My shadow on the things you know.
My feathers fall all around you,
they show you the way to go.
It's over, baby. I say, it's over, baby.
Nestle in your wings my little one.
The special morning brings another sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that do not come
today.
And you see me fly away without you.
My shadow falling on the things you know.
My feathers, they fall all around you,
they show you the way to go.
Hey, baby. It's over, baby. It's over, baby.

Hurry On Down Lyrics – Bette Midler
Hurry on down to my house, honey,

C'mon, c'mon, make it snappy.

You're Moving Out Today Lyrics – Bette Midler
I stayed out late one night and you moved in.
I didn't mind 'cause of the state you were in.
May I remind you that it's been a year since then?
Today the landlady, she said to me,
"Your loony friend just made a pass at me."
Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage by the sea.
So pack your toys away,
your pretty boys away,
your forty-fives away,
your alibis away,
your silly lies away,
your old tie-dyes away,
your one more tries away.
You're moving out today.
You nasty habits ain't confined to bed.
The grocer told me what you do with bread.
Why don't you take up with the
baker's wife instead of me?
Pack up your rubber duck.
I'd like to wish you luck.
Your funny cigarettes, your sixty-one cassettes,
pack all your clothes away,
your rubber hose away,
your old day glows away.
You're movin' out today.
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
"I hate to do it"
"You gotta"
Pack up you dirty looks,
your songs that have no hooks,
your stacks of Modern Screen,
your portrait of the queen,
your mangy cat away,
your baby fat away.
You're headed that a-way.
You're moving out today.
[additional lyrics from the single]
Pack up your forck and spoon,
but leave my Lorna Doones;
Your map of Mozambique;
Your waterbed that leaks.
la la la la la la la la la.
la la la la la la la la . . .
"The reason I'm singing la la is because I'm so happy you're going.
Gosh, you've made me miserable.
I don't think I've ever been so unhappy as I've been this last year with you.
You are really a dirty, dirty guy. Did anybody ever tell you that?
Oh, uh, by the way, would you, uh, take off that coat you're wearing?
That's my coat you're wearing. Ah, yes. Thank you, oh. Goodbye!
Parting is such sweet sorrow . . ."

Long John Blues Lyrics – Bette Midler
"Doctor Long John. My dreams are full of Doctor Long John."
I got a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
I have a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
His name is Doctor Long John
and he answers every call.
You know, I went to Long John's office.
I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing me."
I went to Long John's office.
I said, "Doctor, the pain is killing."
He said, "Don't worry, baby.
It's just your cavity needs a little filling."
He took out his trusty drill.
Told me to open wide.
He said he wouldn't hurt me,
but he filled my whole inside.
Long John, Long John, don't you ever go away. No.
'Cause you thrill me when you drill me,
and I don't need no novocain today.
Oh, when he got done drilin' he said,
"Now, Miss Midler, that is going to cost you ten."
"I was prepared to pay twenty"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, when he got done drillin' he said,
"Baby, that's gonna cost you ten.
But if it ever starts in to throbbing,
come back and see old Long John
again and again and again and again and again.
Oh, yeah. Yow!
"Long John.
I sold my heart to Doctor Long John and I will never, never be the same.
Oh, that's so heavy I just gotta lay back."
I got a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
I have a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
His name is Doctor Long John

Alabama Song Lyrics – Bette Midler
Oh, show me the way to the next whiskey bar.
Oh, don't ask why. Oh, don't ask why.
'Cause I must find the next whiskey bar.
If I don't find the next whiskey bar,
I tell you I will die, I tell you I will die.
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you I will die.
Oh, moon of Alabama, so high up in the sky.
I lost him, I lost my lover.
I need a drink. Can you guess why?
Oh, moon of Alabama, so high up in the sky.
I lost him, I lost my lover.
I need a drink, and you know why.
I bet you know why. I bet you know why.
Oh, don't ask why. Oh, don't ask why.
'Cause I must find the next whiskey bar.
If I don't find the next whiskey bar,
I tell you I will die, I tell you I will die.
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you I will die.
Oh, moon of Alabama, so high up in the sky.
I lost him, I lost my lover.
I need a drink. Can you guess why?
Oh, moon of Alabama, so high up in the sky.
I lost him, I lost my lover.
I need a drink, and you know why.
I bet you know why. I bet you know why.
Ready To Begin Again Lyrics – Bette Midler
When my teeth are rinsed in a glass by my bed,
and my hair lies somewhere in a drawer,
you know, the world doesn't seem like a very nice place,
not a very nice place anymore.
But I put in my teeth, and I slap on my hair
and a strange thing occurs when I do,
my teeth start to feel like my very own teeth
and my hair like my very own too.
And I'm ready to begin again.
Ready to begin again.
Reachin' for the soap,
my heart is full o' hope
again, again.
Ready to begin again!
Looking fresh and bright I trust.
Ready to begin again,
as everybody must.
and my hair lies somewhere in a drawer,
you know, the world doesn't seem like a very nice place,
not a very nice place anymore.
But I put in my teeth, and I slap on my hair
and a strange thing occurs when I do,
my teeth start to feel like my very own teeth
and my hair like my very own too.
And I'm ready to begin again.
Ready to begin again.
Reachin' for the soap,
my heart is full o' hope
again, again.
Ready to begin again!
Looking fresh and bright I trust.
Ready to begin again,
as everybody must.
Up The Ladder To The Roof Lyrics – Bette Midler
Come with me, come with me
and we shall run across the sky.
We illuminate the night.
Ohhhh, I, I will try and guide you
to better times and brighter days.
Just don't be afraid.
Come on up the ladder to the roof
where we can see heaven much better.
Let's go up the ladder to the roof
where we can be closer to heaven.
Stay with me, stay with me
and we shall let expression sing.
Hear freedom ringin'.
Ohhh, memories of yesterday's broken dreams.
Hey, don't you know, don't you know
that they are gonna fade away?
Don't be afraid.
Come on up the ladder to the roof
where we can see heaven much better.
Let's go up the ladder to the roof
where we can be closer to heaven.
We'll laugh, I'll tell you the story of love.
How it is, the happiness in it, baby.
We combine these thoughts and together we will travel
to the fountain of lovingness.
I will never, never, never, never,
never leave you, baby.
As we grow older and older and older, babe.
Standing strong we'll say:
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?

to better times and brighter days.

Make Yourself Comfortable Lyrics – Bette Midler
I've got some records here
to put you in the mood.
The phone is off the hook
so no one can intrude.
I feel romantic
and the record changes automatic, baby.
Sweetheart, we hurried through the dinner

We left before the picture show was through.

You Don't Know Me Lyrics – Bette Midler
You give your hand to me
and then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
my heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
you think you know me well.
Hell, you don't know me.
You don't know me.
You don't know the one
who dreams of you at night;
longs to kiss your lips
and longs to hold you tight.
To you I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
You don't know me.
You, you just don't know me,
'cause I never knew the art of making love,
though my heart, oh my heart, oh my heart
is aching just for you.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
The chance that you might learn to love me too.
You give your hand to me,
and then you say, you say, "Goodbye."
I watch you walk away,
wishing you were mine.
You'll never ever know the girl who loves you so.
You don't know me. No, no, baby.
You don't know me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, baby, baby.
You don't know me, know me, know me.
Please know me.
Late in the midnight hour
I dream of you only.
But I am lonely.
Please know me.
Be my baby. C'mon, be my baby.
Late in the midnight hour
I live for you, baby.
Why don't you know me?
Be my baby.
Why you mean to me?
Mean to me . . .
and then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
my heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
you think you know me well.
Hell, you don't know me.
You don't know me.
You don't know the one
who dreams of you at night;
longs to kiss your lips
and longs to hold you tight.
To you I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
You don't know me.
You, you just don't know me,
'cause I never knew the art of making love,
though my heart, oh my heart, oh my heart
is aching just for you.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
The chance that you might learn to love me too.

I watch you walk away,
wishing you were mine.
You'll never ever know the girl who loves you so.
You don't know me. No, no, baby.
You don't know me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, baby, baby.
You don't know me, know me, know me.
Please know me.
Late in the midnight hour
I dream of you only.
But I am lonely.
Please know me.
Be my baby. C'mon, be my baby.
Late in the midnight hour
I live for you, baby.
Why don't you know me?
Be my baby.
Why you mean to me?
Mean to me . . .
Say Goodbye To Hollywood Lyrics – Bette Midler
Bobby's driving through the city tonight,
through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car.
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine.
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Johnny's taking care of things for a while,
and his style is so right for troubadours.
They caught him running with his face to the door,
now he won't be my fast gun anymore.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Moving on is a chance that you take
everytime you try to stay together.
whoa-oa-ho-ho-hoo.
Say a word out of line
and you find that the friends you had are gone forever, forever.
So many faces in and out of my life.
Some will last,
some will just be now and then.
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes.
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Yeah, say goodbye.
Yeah, say goodbye.
Yeah, he's gotta say goodbye.
He's gotta say goodbye.
He's gotta say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Yeah, say goodbye,
say goodbye, say goodbye.
You gotta say goodbye.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye . . .
through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car.
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine.
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.
Say goodbye to Hollywood.
Say goodbye, my baby.

You gotta say goodbye.
Say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye . . .
I Never Talk To Strangers Lyrics – Bette Midler
[B:] "Bartender, I'd like a Manhattan, please."
[T:] Um, stop me if you've heard this one,
but I feel as though we've met before.
Perhaps I am mistaken.
[B:] But it's just that I remind you of
someone you used to care about.
Oh, but that was long ago.
Now tell me, do you really think
I'd fall for that old line?
I was not born just yesterday.
Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway.
[T:] Hell, I ain't such a bad guy
once you get to know me.
Just thought there ain't no harm.
[B:] Hey-e-yeh, just try minding your own business, bud.
Who asked you to annoy me
with your sad, sad repartee?
Besides, I never talk to strangers anyway.
Your life's a dime store novel.
This town is full of guys like you.
And you're looking for someone
to take the place of her.
[T:] You must be reading my mail.
'N' you're bitter 'cause he left you.
That's why you're drinkin' in this bar.
[B&T:] Well, only suckers fall in love
with perfect strangers.
[B:] It always takes one to know one, stranger.
[T:] Maybe we're just wiser now.
[B:] Yeah, 'n' been around the block
so many times
[T:] that we don't notice
[B&T:] that we're all just perfect strangers
as long as we ignore
that we all begin as strangers
just before we find
we really aren't strangers
anymore.
[B:] "Aw, you don't look like such a chump."
[T:] "Aw, hey babe."
[T:] Um, stop me if you've heard this one,

Storybook Children Lyrics – Bette Midler
Daybreak.
How can I ever leave this place beside you?
You were the only one I ever cried to.
The night is through.
Now it's heartache.
I got to get home before he sees it's daybreak.
Light from the sky is shining through the curtain lace.
I never really meant to stay.
And now it's daybreak.
We were just sitting and talking.
Oh, who would have thought we'd be spending the night
dreading the light of daybreak?
How can I leave this place beside you?
How can I leave you, baby, leave you?
I don't want to go.
And now it's daybreak.
We were like storybook children.
Hey, but, like all good fairytales, this one must end.
Here is the end. It's daybreak.
How can I ever leave this place beside you?
You were the only one I ever cried to.
The night is through.
Lord knows it's daybreak.
And it feels like heartbreak.
I don't want to leave you,
I don't want to leave you, I need you!
Looks like it's daybreak,
but it feels like it's heartache.
I don't want to leave you,
don't make me leave you, I need you!
Daybreak.
Sunlight shining through the lace.
I need you.
Sun is smiling on your face.
I need you.
Don't make me leave you!
Lord! . . .
How can I ever leave this place beside you?
You were the only one I ever cried to.
The night is through.
Now it's heartache.
I got to get home before he sees it's daybreak.
Light from the sky is shining through the curtain lace.
I never really meant to stay.
And now it's daybreak.
We were just sitting and talking.
Oh, who would have thought we'd be spending the night
dreading the light of daybreak?
How can I leave this place beside you?
How can I leave you, baby, leave you?
I don't want to go.
And now it's daybreak.
We were like storybook children.
Hey, but, like all good fairytales, this one must end.
Here is the end. It's daybreak.
How can I ever leave this place beside you?
You were the only one I ever cried to.
The night is through.
Lord knows it's daybreak.
And it feels like heartbreak.
I don't want to leave you,
I don't want to leave you, I need you!
Looks like it's daybreak,
but it feels like it's heartache.
I don't want to leave you,
don't make me leave you, I need you!
Daybreak.
Sunlight shining through the lace.
I need you.
Sun is smiling on your face.
I need you.
Don't make me leave you!
Lord! . . .

Empty Bed Blues Lyrics – Bette Midler
Woke up this mornin'
with an awful achin' head.
Woke up this mornin'
with an awful achin' head.
My new man left me.
I'm just a bloom in an empty bed.
Now, when my bed gets empty
I get to feelin' kind of mean and blue.
When my bed gets empty,
get to feelin' awful mean and blue.
The springs are gettin' rusty
sleepin' single like I do.
I bought me a coffee grinder,
the best one I could find.
You know that I bought me a brand new coffee grinder,
the best one I could find,
so he could grind my coffee.
Babe, I got a brand new grind.
You gotta try, girl, you gotta try.
He was a deep sea diver
with a stroke that could not go wrong.
Deep, deep sea, deep sea diver
with a stroke that just could not go wrong.
He could touch the bottom,
and his wind held out so long.
Oh, he boiled my cabbage,
and he made it awful hot,
tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, tsch, mmmm.
He boiled it, I got to tell you
that he made it, made it awful hot.
But when he slipped the bacon in,
he overflowed the pot!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What a sweet man he was.
I went and told my girlfriend Lou.
Remember that old rag of a girl named Lou?
Real sweet man.
I went and told my girlfriend Lou.
That way that girl is, baby,
she must have had a piece of it, too.
And now when you get good lovin',
don't you, don't you spread the news.
Don't you spread the news.
When you get it and it's good, good, good,
you really ought not to,
you ought not to spread the news.
Because those gals will doublecross you and leave you,
those gals will doublecross you, and they do,
those gals will doublecross you
and leave you, leave you, leave you,
leave you with the empty bed blues!
Zah!

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes Lyrics – Bette Midler
"When I was a little girl my father used to say,
"If trouble ever troubles you, just dream your cares away."
A dream is a wish your heart makes
when you're fast asleep.
In dreams you will lose your heartache,
whatever you wish for you keep.
Have faith in your dreams and someday, someday,
your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.
Oh, no matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.
"If trouble ever troubles you, just dream your cares away."
A dream is a wish your heart makes
when you're fast asleep.
In dreams you will lose your heartache,
whatever you wish for you keep.
Have faith in your dreams and someday, someday,
your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.
Oh, no matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.
Paradise Lyrics – Bette Midler
There is a land I know
where lovers go and flowers grow
forever more;
where time is standing still
and lovers fill the quiet places
by the shore.
We will cross the rainbow
to a place where we'll be free,
and he'll give his love to me.
So I wait for the day
when he takes me away to
Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk along the sand.
It's never-never land.
Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa.
We'll build a castle there
where we can share the happiness
we've waited for.
Where white flamingos fly
a-way up high and play above
the ocean floor.
We will climb a mountain
to see our wonderland.
Maybe know you'll understand
why I wait for the day
when he takes me away to
Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk along the sand.
A never-never land.
Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa.
I'll stand by him,
do right by him
and I swear that I would die for him.
Ohh, die for him.
Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk along the sand.
It's never-never land.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll stand by him,
do right by him.
Oh, yeah. Oh-oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna stand by him.
Gonna do right, gonna do right by him.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeaeaeaeaheah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah . . .
where lovers go and flowers grow
forever more;
where time is standing still
and lovers fill the quiet places
by the shore.
We will cross the rainbow
to a place where we'll be free,
and he'll give his love to me.
So I wait for the day
when he takes me away to

Yellow Beach Umbrella Lyrics – Bette Midler
When I am a flyer, I'll fly down to Miami,
get a room in one of those big resort hotels.
And nobody there will ever get to know me well.
And nobody there will ever get to know me well.
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
on the shore of the southern sea.
I'll be a mystery to everyone.
I won't take you along with me.
When I am a driver, I'll drive to Pensacola,
sleep in the sand whether the weather
brings sunshine or rain.
And nobody there will ever get to know my name, oh no.
And nobody there will ever get to know my name.
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
on the shore of the southern sea.
Mmm, I'll be a mystery to everyone.
I won't take you along with me.
When I am a rider, I'll ride up to Tempico.
Ohh, don't telephone honey,
your money'd be wasted on a telegram
'cause nobody there will ever find out who I am.
Nobody there will ever find me!
I'll be just another big bright umbrella
on the shore of the southern sea.
Gonna be a mystery to everyone.
I won't take you along with me.
Alone. All alone. On my own.
So happy to be gone, gone, gone, gone
to new news and new faces,
new feuds and new places.
Underneath my yellow umbrella.
Won't be holdin' hands
with a mobster fella.
Mmm, I'm in the mood to be
swimmin' in the nude,
sinnin' too. Too bad you
won't be there to see.
Grand. Feels so grand
lying in the sand.
Just working on this tan of mine.
Ohh, you know I think that life
is just the greatest thing.
Goodbye!!
It's goodbye, darling.
Your turn to cry.
And you know good and well why, darling.
Why you got the gong.
I was into you to long.
Underneath my big bright umbrella
I'll be breaking hearts with a
buff young fella.
Woo-oo-oo, whoo-oo-oo.
How was I to know?
Plop plop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is.
get a room in one of those big resort hotels.
And nobody there will ever get to know me well.
And nobody there will ever get to know me well.
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
on the shore of the southern sea.
I'll be a mystery to everyone.
I won't take you along with me.
When I am a driver, I'll drive to Pensacola,
sleep in the sand whether the weather
brings sunshine or rain.
And nobody there will ever get to know my name, oh no.
And nobody there will ever get to know my name.
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella

La Vie En Rose Lyrics – Bette Midler
Hold me close and hold me fast.
This magic spell you cast;
this is la vie en rose.
When you kiss me, heaven sighs.
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose.
When you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.
Give your heart and soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.
Mmm, when you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.
Give your heart, your soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.
This magic spell you cast;
this is la vie en rose.
When you kiss me, heaven sighs.
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose.
When you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.
Give your heart and soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.
Mmm, when you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.
Give your heart, your soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.
Strangers In The Night Lyrics – Bette Midler
Ooooooh. Wooooh.
Strangers in the night, exchanging glances,
wondering in the night what were the chances
we would fall in love before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so exciting,
and in your smile, ooh, inviting.
In my heart I knew I must have you.
Strangers in the night, lonely people.
Strangers in the night up to the moment
we said our first hello. Little did we know
love was just a glance away, embracing dance away.
It's just a glance away. It's just a chance away.

I Don't Want The Night To End Lyrics – Bette Midler
And I don't want,
I, I don't want,
I don't want the night to end.
Oh, daddy, daddy.
Oh, daddy, daddy.
Wastin' half my life
on platforms underground,
the other half I'm spending
as a desperate clown.
My problem now is that
you're nowhere to be found.
In dark delicious dreams
of you I'll drown.
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-hi.
Oh, daddy. Oh, daddy.
Ooooooooh. Oh, daddy. Oh, daddy.
I don't want the night to end.
Oh, baby, baby.
Ohhhhh, my sweet baby.
Wrapped around your soul
is where I want to be.
But in the night, blue music.
All my eyes can see:
Junkies in the rain,
down on their knees.
Tell me, what's to become
of you and me?
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
Don't let it be, don't let it be over.
No, no, don't let it be, don't let it be.

I-i-i-i-i, I don't want, don't want the night to end.
Don't let it be, don't let it be,
don't let it be o-o-o-o-over.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't want it to be over.
Baby, I'm a soul to lend.
I'm all, all alone. I don't want the night to end.
Oh, mommy, mommy, I am falling.
I, I don't want,
I don't want the night to end.
Oh, daddy, daddy.
Oh, daddy, daddy.
Wastin' half my life
on platforms underground,

Mr. Rockefeller Lyrics – Bette Midler
"Hi, operator."
"May I help you?"
"Yeah, it's me again. Did you get him on the line yet? . . .
Oh, this is awful. I've been trying to get him all day. . . .

Old Cape Cod Lyrics – Bette Midler
If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air,
quaint little villages here and there,
you're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
If you like the taste of a lobster stew
served by a window with an ocean view,
you're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
Winding roads that seem to beckon you.
Miles of green beneath the skies of blue.
Church bells chimin' on a sunday morn
remind you of the town where you were born.
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay,
watching the moonlight on Old Cape Cod bay.
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay,
watching the moonlight on Old Cape Cod bay.
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
You're sure to fall in love, in love, in love.
You're sure to fall in love, in love,
with Old Cape Cod, Old Cape Cod.
quaint little villages here and there,
you're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
If you like the taste of a lobster stew
served by a window with an ocean view,
you're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
Winding roads that seem to beckon you.
Miles of green beneath the skies of blue.
Church bells chimin' on a sunday morn
remind you of the town where you were born.
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay,
watching the moonlight on Old Cape Cod bay.
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay,
watching the moonlight on Old Cape Cod bay.
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.
You're sure to fall in love, in love, in love.
You're sure to fall in love, in love,
with Old Cape Cod, Old Cape Cod.
Buckets Of Rain Lyrics – Bette Midler
[Bette:] Ohh-oh, Ohh-oh, ah
Sing to me baby, baby.
Buckets, nuggets of rain.
[Bette & Bob:] Nuggets of rain,
nuggets of tears.
Got all the nuggets
comin' out of my ears.
Nuggets of moonbeams
in my hand.
You got all the love,
honey baby, I can stand.
I been down, high like an oak.
I've seen pretty people
disappear like smoke.
Friends will arrive,
friends will disappear.
You want me,
honey baby, I'll be here.
[Bette:] Oh-oh, I'll be here.
Ooooooh.
Sing to me baby, baby, baby.
Buckets of rain.
[Bette & Bob:] I like your smile
and your fingertips.
I like the way that you move your lips.
I like that heavenly way
you look at me.
Everything about you is bringing me ecstasy.
Little red wagon,
little red bike.
I ain't no monkey
but I know what I like.
I like the way you monkey around.
Stick with me baby
and we'll never be found.
Life is heavy
and life is sad.
Life is a bust
when you think you've been had.
You lose, you must do
and you do it bad.
I do it for you,
honey baby, ain't you glad?
[Bette:] Oh, Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ooooh.
Bobby, Bobby,
hey there Mister D,
you set me free. Yeah.
I don't believe I really said that.
[Bob:] "Hum, meany."
[Bette:] "Oooh, you don't even know. You have no idea."
[Bob:] "I don't want to know . . . . .
You and Paul Simon should have done this one."
Sing to me baby, baby.
Buckets, nuggets of rain.
[Bette & Bob:] Nuggets of rain,
nuggets of tears.
Got all the nuggets
comin' out of my ears.
Nuggets of moonbeams
in my hand.
You got all the love,
honey baby, I can stand.
I been down, high like an oak.
I've seen pretty people
disappear like smoke.
Friends will arrive,
friends will disappear.
You want me,
honey baby, I'll be here.
[Bette:] Oh-oh, I'll be here.
Ooooooh.

Love Says It's Waiting Lyrics – Bette Midler
You were told to wait there for love.
Love says it's waiting for you.
And all I want to say
is I know it's never easy
getting all dressed up with no place to go.
Help, for, that's what we're here for.
All one together.
Is no one alone?
Come see your sister.
Call her your own.
Will no one hold you?
We'll hold you.
Love says it's waiting for you.
And all I want to say
is I know it's never easy
getting all dressed up with no place to go.
Help, for, that's what we're here for.
All one together.
Is no one alone?
Come see your sister.
Call her your own.
Will no one hold you?
We'll hold you.
Shiver Me Timbers / Samedi Et Vendredi Lyrics – Bette Midler
Well, I'm leavin' my family, leavin' all my friends.
My body's at home, but my heart's in the wind
where the clouds are like headlines upon a new front page sky.
My tears are salt water. The moon's full and high.
And I know Martin Eden is gonna be proud of me.
Many before me been called by the sea
to be up in the crows nest singin' by saying:
Shiver me timbers. Sailing away.
And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting, I'm drifting on out.
Old Captain Ahab's got nothin' on me.
Swallow me, don't follow me. I travel alone.
The water's my daughter. I shall skip like a stone.
And the fog's lifting, the sand's shifting, I'm drifting on out.
Old Captain Ahab longs to hear me shout,
"Swallow me, don't follow me. I travel alone.
The water, she's my daughter. I'll skip like a stone."
Won't you please call my old man. Tell him not to cry.
My goodbyes are written by the moon in the sky.
Say, nobody knows me. Can't fathom my staying.
Shiver me timbers. I'm sailing away.

No Jestering Lyrics – Bette Midler
My Momma says that I must leave him alone.
But how can I do that
when I want him in my home?
He watched me change from boys to boys

Mommy, Mommy, he loves your daughter.
No jestering!
No one can make me leave him.

I wait alone here in the Mexican sunlight,
but the Mexican sunlight seems so lifeless and cold.
Sad and forlorn, I try to find consolession
with a man desperession, I cannot withhold.
Soothe me with your caress

Let Me Just Follow Behind Lyrics – Bette Midler
Oh, to have you walking so near.
You're an angel, my dear,
and you ease my mind.
I'll not kiss or hold you, my dear.
Would you let me just follow behind.
Now, I have loved me many fine men.
Oh, so many fine men
had a bed to share.
I would trade these lovers gladly, my friend,
for a glimpse of you standing there.
How will I know when I reach heaven's door?
In your eyes I've seen it before.
If I never, never, never, never see you again,
though the path it may bend
and be filled with strife;
though the years may come and go without end,
I will think of you all of my life.
How will I know when I reach heaven's door?
In your eyes I've seen heaven before.
Oh, to have you walking so near.
You're an angel, my dear,
and you ease my mind.
I'll not kiss and hold you, my dear.
Would you let me just follow behind?
Hmm, hmmmm. Mm hmmm, mm hmmm.
Would you let me just follow behind?
You're an angel, my dear,

and be filled with strife;
though the years may come and go without end,
I will think of you all of my life.
How will I know when I reach heaven's door?
In your eyes I've seen heaven before.
Oh, to have you walking so near.
You're an angel, my dear,

Skylark Lyrics – Bette Midler
Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Can you tell me where my love may be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
where he's just waiting to be kissed?
Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
where my heart can go a journeying
over the shadows and the rain
to a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight have you heard the music?
In the night, wonderful music.
Faint as a will-o'-the-wisp, crazy as a loon,
sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.
Oh, skylark, I don't know, I don't know
if you can find these things,
but my heart, my heart is riding on your wings.
So if you see them anywhere
won't you lead me there?
Oh, won't you lead me there?
Lead me there, lead me there.
Lead me there, skylark, skylark, skylark, there . . .
Can you tell me where my love may be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
where he's just waiting to be kissed?
Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
where my heart can go a journeying
over the shadows and the rain
to a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight have you heard the music?
In the night, wonderful music.
Faint as a will-o'-the-wisp, crazy as a loon,
sad as a gypsy serenading the moon.
Oh, skylark, I don't know, I don't know
if you can find these things,
but my heart, my heart is riding on your wings.
So if you see them anywhere
won't you lead me there?
Oh, won't you lead me there?
Lead me there, lead me there.
Lead me there, skylark, skylark, skylark, there . . .
Drinking Again Lyrics – Bette Midler
Drinkin' again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
Having a few.
Wishing that you were here.
Making the rounds.
Buying a round for total strangers.
Just being a fool,
'cause I keep hoping, hoping, hoping you'll appear.
Sure I can borrow a smoke.
I can sit here all night and tell these jokers some jokes,
but who wants to laugh, who's gonna laugh
at a broken heart?
Oh, my heart is aching, I swear it's breaking.
And I'm drinking again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
And I'm tryin' to get home
with nothing, nothing but a memory.
Yes, I'm dying to get home,
dying to get home.
And I got nothin' but a bottle of beer,
and just my memory.
Thinking of when you loved me.
Having a few.
Wishing that you were here.
Making the rounds.
Buying a round for total strangers.
Just being a fool,
'cause I keep hoping, hoping, hoping you'll appear.
Sure I can borrow a smoke.
I can sit here all night and tell these jokers some jokes,
but who wants to laugh, who's gonna laugh
at a broken heart?
Oh, my heart is aching, I swear it's breaking.
And I'm drinking again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
And I'm tryin' to get home
with nothing, nothing but a memory.
Yes, I'm dying to get home,
dying to get home.
And I got nothin' but a bottle of beer,
and just my memory.

Surabaya Johnny Lyrics – Bette Midler
I was young, I was just sixteen then,
when you came up from Burma one day.
And you told me to pack up my suitcase,
and I did, and you took me away.
I said, "Do you work nice and steady,
or do you go sailing and roving out to sea?"
And you said, "I have a job on the railroad,
and baby, how swell it's all gonna be."
You said a lot, Johnny. It was all lies.
You sure had me fooled, right from the start.
I hate you when you laugh at me like that.
Take that pipe out of your mouth, Johnny.
Surabaya Johnny. Is it really the end?
Surabaya Johnny. Will the hurt ever mend?
Surabaya Johnny. Ooh, I burn at your touch.
You got no heart, Johnny, but oh, I love you so much.
Oh, at first you were kind and gentle,
'til I packed up and went off with you.
And it lasted two weeks until one day
you laughed at me and hit me too.
You dragged me all over the city,
up the river and down to the sea.
Now I look at myself in the mirror
and some old woman looks back at me.
You didn't want love, Johnny, you wanted money.
I gave you all I had. You wanted more.
Oh, don't look at me that way.
I'm only trying to talk to you.
Wipe that grin off your face, Johnny.
Surabaya Johnny. Is it really the end?
Surabaya Johnny. Will the pain never mend?
Surabaya Johnny. How I burn at your touch.
You got no heart, Johnny, but oh, I love you so much.
When we met I forgot to ask you
why they called you that funny name,
but in every hotel on the seacoast
I found out, and I loved you all the same.
I'm tired. I'm worn out.
The sea's pounding in my ears.
And I reach out my arms to hold you.
You're not here and who even cares?
You got no heart, Johnny. You're just no good.
You going now? Oh, tell me why.
I love you after all, Johnny, like that very first day.
Don't laugh at me no more, Johnny.
Surabaya Johnny. Is it really the end?
Surabaya Johnny. Will the hurt ever mend?
Surabaya Johnny. Oh, I burn at your touch.
You got no heart, Johnny, but oh, I love you,
I love you, I love you so much.
when you came up from Burma one day.

I Shall Be Released Lyrics – Bette Midler
They say everything can be replaced.
That every distance is not near.
So I remember every face
of every man who put me here.
They say every woman needs protection,
then they turn around and tell you
every woman's got to fall.
I swear I see my own reflection
somewhere far beyond this wall.
I see my light come shining
from the west down to the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
Now yonder stands
there in that lonely crowd,
a man who swears he is not to blame, no, no.
And if you ask him has he ever seen this lonely woman,
he'll tell you, "No, no, no."
What's more, he does not know my name!
But I see my light come shining,
shining, shining, shining from the west
straight on down to the east.
Ah-anyday now, any, any old day now,
I am going to, I am going to be released, yeah!
They tell ya, tell ya every woman,
they tell ya every woman
got to have protection,
then they turn around and tell ya,
"No! We gotta make that-a woman fall!"
Oh, god, I swear! I swear I see,
I see my, my very own reflection
far and away beyond, way, way beyond
these old walls!
That's right! I see, I see my light, my light,
my light is shining, shining, shining,
shining, shining, shining, shining
from the west straight on down to the east.
And any day now, do you hear me?
Any day now, I shall be,
I am going to be released!
Any day now, any day now, any day now,
any, any day now, oh, any day now,
any day, any day, any day,
any day, any day, any day,
woah, any day, any day, any old day now,
yeah, any day now
I am going to, I shall be released!
Woah, any day now, I shall see again!
Any day now, I shall be free again!
Any day now, they'll let me be again!
Oh, any day now, any day now, any day now,
whoa, help me, any day, any day,
any old day now . . .
That every distance is not near.
So I remember every face
of every man who put me here.
They say every woman needs protection,
then they turn around and tell you
every woman's got to fall.
I swear I see my own reflection
somewhere far beyond this wall.
I see my light come shining
from the west down to the east.
Any day now, any day now,

got to have protection,
then they turn around and tell ya,
"No! We gotta make that-a woman fall!"
Oh, god, I swear! I swear I see,

That's right! I see, I see my light, my light,
my light is shining, shining, shining,
shining, shining, shining, shining
from the west straight on down to the east.
And any day now, do you hear me?
Any day now, I shall be,
I am going to be released!
Any day now, any day now, any day now,
any, any day now, oh, any day now,
any day, any day, any day,
any day, any day, any day,

Any day now, they'll let me be again!
Oh, any day now, any day now, any day now,
whoa, help me, any day, any day,

Optimistic Voices / Lullaby Of Broadway Lyrics – Bette Midler
You're out of the woods,
you're out of the dark,
you're out of the night.
Step into the sun,
step into the light,
then open your eyes
and love will open, ahhh,
open, ahhh,
open, open, open, open up.
Come on along and listen to
the lullaby of Broadway.
The hip-hooray and balley-hoo.
The lullaby of Broadway.
The rumble of the subway train.
The rattle of the taxi.
The Daffodils who entertain
at Angelo's and Maxi's.
When a Broadway baby says good night,
it's early in the morning.
Manhattan babys don't sleep tight
until the dawn.
Good night, baby.
Good night. Milkman's on his way.
Doon, doon, doon.
Sleep tight, baby.
Sleep tight. Let's call it a day. Hey!
Come on along and listen to
the lullaby of Broadway.
The hi-de-hi and boop-boop-buh-doo.
It's just the lullaby of Broadway.
The band begins to go to town
and everyone goes crazy.
You rock-a-bye your baby 'round
'til everything gets hazy.
Hush-a-bye, I'm gonna buy you this and that,
you hear your daddy sing.
Then baby goes home to her flat
to sleep all day.
Good night, baby.
Good night. The milkman's on his way.
Do, do, do, doodley-do.
Sleep tight,oh, my baby.
Sleep tight. Let's call it a day.
Listen to the lullaby of
ol-bo-ba-bo-ba-b'old doo doo doo Broadway!
The lulla-lullaby of Broadway!
you're out of the dark,
you're out of the night.
Step into the sun,
step into the light,
then open your eyes
and love will open, ahhh,
open, ahhh,
open, open, open, open up.
Come on along and listen to
the lullaby of Broadway.
The hip-hooray and balley-hoo.
The lullaby of Broadway.
The rumble of the subway train.
The rattle of the taxi.

In The Mood Lyrics – Bette Midler
Jumping with my boy, Sid
right here in the city.
Don't you know that is was grand?
Really grand, so grand.
And then you came along,
then you came along, boy.
And sang your groovy song,
sang a song and I asked:
Mr. Whatchacallem, whatcha doing tonight?
Hope you're in the mood
because I'm feeling just right.
How's about a corner
with a table for two?
Where the music's mellow
is a gay rendezvous.
There's no chance romancing
with a blue attitude.
You know you got to do some dancing
to get in the mood.
Mr. Watchacallem, I'm indebted to you.
You're here. It goes to show what good influence can do.
Never felt so happy or so fully alive.
He's a jam a jumpin', it's a powerful jive!
Swing-a-roo is giving me a new attitude.
My heart is full of rhythm
and I'm in the mood.
In the mood (oh boy) be mine forever.
In the groove (that boy) and leave me never.
In the mood (oh joy) give me some kissing.
You know it won't be long
before you're in the mood!
Don't be rude, I love you madly.
It's up to you, I'll take you gladly.
Love is blind, my vision's hazy.
It didn't take me long to say
I'm in the mood!
Do ba do ba do bop boo da da day.
Ba da-n-da da-n do da-n do day.
Who's that guy with the beautiful eyes?
'N' look at those lips, I'd try 'em for size.
Hey! Swing with me!
What a wing it'd be!
May I intrude? It's time to dance
and I'm in the mood!
Oh, hold me darling, let's dance.
What a dreamy romance.
It's a quarter to three.
There's a mess-o-that moon.
Let's share it with me.
You know, I think it's rude
to keep me this way
when I'm in the mood.
I'm in the mood, in the groove!
In the mood, ah, ah, ah!
Man-oh-man, wow!
Like, you really got me lookin'.
Oh, and you really got me cookin', oh!
My heart went flip, my brain went skip.
I said c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
I'm hot now! Oh boy! I love you madly!
Right now! Oh boy! I'll take you gladly!
Tight now! Oh boy! I'll be in!
And now I'm really in the mood, boy!
Rompin'! Stompin'! Smokin'!
Why don't we go somewhere and smooch, boy?
It's got to be right now!
It's gotta be right now!
It's got to be right now!
I'm only saying that it didn't take me long,
didn't take me long, didn't take me long
to say I'm in the mood.
Your flat foot floozy wants a good boy!
right here in the city.
Don't you know that is was grand?
Really grand, so grand.
And then you came along,
then you came along, boy.
And sang your groovy song,

Mr. Whatchacallem, whatcha doing tonight?

Uptown / Don't Say Nothin' Bad (About My Baby) / Da Doo Run Run Lyrics – Bette Midler
He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
where everyone's his boss,
and he's lost in an angry land.
He's a little man.
But then he comes uptown
each evening to my tentament.
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent.
And when he's there with me
he can see that he's everything.
The man is tall, he don't crawl. He's a king.
Downtown he's just one of a million guys.
He don't get no breaks,
and he takes all they got to give
'cause he's got to live.
But then he comes uptown
where he can hold his head up high.
And uptown he knows I'm gonna be standing by.
And when I take his hand,
there's no man who can put him down, down, down.
Oh, the world's so sweet at his feet when he's uptown.
Whoa-oo-oh-whoa.
When he's uptown.
Whoa-oo-whoa-oo-whoa-oh-oh.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't say nothin' bad about my baby.
Don't!
Met him on a monday and my heart stood still.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Somebody told me that his name was Bill.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Whoa, my heart stood still.
Yeah, his name was Bill.
And when he walked me home,
da doo run run run da doo run run.
He knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
He looked kind of quiet, but my, oh my.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Oh, he caught my eye.
My, my, my, my, oh my.
And when he walked me home,
da doo run run run da doo run run.
Here we go!
Da doo run run run da doo run run.
Da doo run run run da doo run run.

Twisted Lyrics – Bette Midler
"How ya doin' girls? Long time, no see.
Listen, I've been to the doctor lately.
Honey, I just spent forty dollars to hear that from that guy?"
My analyst told me
that I was right out of my head.
The way he described it he said,
"You'd be better off dead
than alive."
I didn't listen to his jive.
I knew all along he was all wrong,
and I knew that he thought I was crazy,
but you know I'm not. Oh, no.
My analyst told me
that I was right out of my head.
He said I need treatment.
But I'm not that easily led.
He said I was the type that was most inclined
when out of his sight
to be out of my mind.
And he thought I was nuts.
No more if's or and's or but's.
Oh, no.
They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
with all my crazy ideas.
But I knew what was happenin',
I knew I was a genius.
What's so strange when you know that
you're a wizard at three?
I said, "Baby, this is meant for me, me, me, me."
I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight.
That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night.
My parent's got frantic, didn't know what to do.
But I had saw some crazy things
before I came to.
Now, do you think I was crazy?
I may have been only three but I was swingin'.
They all laughed at A. Graham Bell,
they all laughed at Edison,
and also at Einstein.
So why should I feel sorry if they just
didn't understand the reasoning and the logic
that went on in my head.
I had a brain, it was insane.
So I just let them laugh at me
when I refused to ride on all those double-decker buses
all because there was no driver on the top.
Aaaaaaah.
"Did you ever hear a story like that in your life?
Honey, that chick is bananas. Do you hear?
Bananas. Oh, waiter, bring me another banana dacquari, would ya?"
Ba, ba, ba, ba!
"Oh, here she comes again."
Badada, badada, badada. Wo!
My analyst told me
that I was right out of my head.
But I said, "Doctor,
I think that it's you instead.
'Cause I got a thing that's so unique and new,
it proves that I got the last laugh on you.
'Cause instead of one head, ooh, I got two.
And you know two heads are better than one."
"Honey, she is twisted"
Listen, I've been to the doctor lately.
Honey, I just spent forty dollars to hear that from that guy?"

Higher And Higher (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Lyrics – Bette Midler
Mm, your love is lifting me higher
than I ever been lifted before.
Ooh, baby, keep it up, sweet baby.
Quench my desire,
and I'll be at your side forever more.
'Cause your love is liftin' me higher and higher.
Your love keeps on liftin' me, oh, higher, higher.
Now once I was down-hearted,
and disappointment was my closest friend.
But then you came,
and he soon departed.
And you know I never seen,
I haven't seen his face again!
Your love is liftin' me
higher, higher, higher, higher.
Your love is liftin' me
higher, higher, higher and higher.

Superstar Lyrics – Bette Midler
Long ago and so far away,
I fell in love with you before the second show.
And your guitar just sounds so sweet and clear,
but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
Said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you.
Lonliness is such a sad affair.
And I can hardly wait, oh,
just to sleep with you again.
What can I say to have you come again?
Come back and play, yeah,
you could play, you could play, play that sad guitar.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
Yes, you said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby.
You called me baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you.
You know, lonliness is such a sad affair.
And I, I can hardly wait
just to sleep with him again.
What can I say to have him come back again?
He could come back and he could play,
play his sad guitar.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me?
Said you'd be coming back again, baby.
He called me baby.
Baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you, I really do.
I fell in love with you before the second show.
And your guitar just sounds so sweet and clear,
but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
Said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you.
Lonliness is such a sad affair.
And I can hardly wait, oh,
just to sleep with you again.
What can I say to have you come again?
Come back and play, yeah,
you could play, you could play, play that sad guitar.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
Yes, you said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby.
You called me baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you.
You know, lonliness is such a sad affair.
And I, I can hardly wait
just to sleep with him again.
What can I say to have him come back again?
He could come back and he could play,
play his sad guitar.
Don't you remember you told me you loved me?
Said you'd be coming back again, baby.
He called me baby.
Baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you, I really do.

Am I Blue Lyrics – Bette Midler
I'm just a woman, a lonely woman,
waiting on the weary shore.
I'm just a woman who's only human,
one you should feel sorry for.
Well, I woke up this morning a long about dawn.
Without a warning I found that he was gone.
Why did he do it? How could he do it?
He'd never done it before.
Am I blue. Am I blue.
Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you?
Oh, am I blue? Well, I bet you would be, too,
if each plan with your man done fell through.
There was a time I was his only one.
but now I'm the sad and lonely one.
Was I gay 'til today?
But now that man is gone,
he's gone and we are through.
Am I blue.
There was a time I was his only one.
But now, a, now, now, now, I'm the sad and lonely one.
Oh god, I'm lonely.
But I remember, oh, I remember when I was gay.
That was up until today,
'cause now that man is gone, he's gone and we are through.
Am I, am I, well, would you believe it if I told you I'm blue?
waiting on the weary shore.
I'm just a woman who's only human,
one you should feel sorry for.
Well, I woke up this morning a long about dawn.
Without a warning I found that he was gone.
Why did he do it? How could he do it?
He'd never done it before.
Am I blue. Am I blue.
Ain't these tears in these eyes tellin' you?
Oh, am I blue? Well, I bet you would be, too,
if each plan with your man done fell through.
There was a time I was his only one.
but now I'm the sad and lonely one.
Was I gay 'til today?
But now that man is gone,
he's gone and we are through.
Am I blue.
There was a time I was his only one.
But now, a, now, now, now, I'm the sad and lonely one.
Oh god, I'm lonely.
But I remember, oh, I remember when I was gay.
That was up until today,
'cause now that man is gone, he's gone and we are through.
Am I, am I, well, would you believe it if I told you I'm blue?
Friends (Side 2, Cut 1) Lyrics – Bette Midler
Oh, you got to have friends,
the feeling's oh so strong.
You got to have friends
to make that day last long.
Had some friends, but they're gone,
somethin' came and took them away,
and from the dusk 'til the dawn
here's where I will stay.
Standing at the end of the road, boys,
waitin' for my new friends to come.
I don't care if I'm hungry or cold, freezing.
I got to get me some.
'Cause you got to have friends.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

It's going too fast. We're all going too fast!
I'm trying to tell you to slow down!

I didn't have many friends, you know.
But, things are getting better now.
And I think it's gonna be okay, 'cause I have a couple now."
