Bette Midler Album

That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.

They told me I was such a fool to love you.
They said that you're the kind who'd never be true.
Pretty soon the day would come when I'd be the sorry one.
But I said that I'm not afraid.

Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.

I went ahead and my heart opened the door.
I gave you so much love. No one could love more.
You pretended to be mine. How could you be so unkind,
with all the other girls you play?

Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.

Woah-oh-oh, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.

I know you're not sincere and you'll never be.
But still I want those kisses so desperately.
I could never let you go, baby even though I know
every rule in love you disobeyed.

Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made . . .

"Gentlemen, gentlemen please! Señors, por favor!"

I once met a man with a sense of adventure.
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went.
He said, "Let's make love on a mountaintop,
under the stars on a big hard rock."

I said, "In these shoes? What is this, the Peace Corps?"
I said, "Honey, let's do it here."

So we're sittin' at a bar in Guadalajara,
in walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes.
He says, "I've got a powerful horse outside.
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride.
I know a little place we can get before the break of day."

I said, "In these shoes? No way, Jose!"
I said, "Honey, let's stay right here."

No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!

Then I met an Englishman.
"Oh," he said, "Are you American?
Won't you walk up and down on my spine?
It makes me feel strangely alive."

I said, "In these shoes? Oh, I doubt you'd survive."
I said, "Honey . . . let's do it . . . hehehehe"

"Let's stay right here."

No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!

No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!

No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!

No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
¿Como se puede bailar?

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength,
'cause I'm weak anyway,
and if I'm strong, I might still break.

And I don't have anything to share
that I won't throw away into the air.
That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.

He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.
God give me strength.

I can't hold on to him.
God give me strength.
When the phone doesn't ring
and I'm lost in imagining
everything that kind of love is worth
as I tumble back down to the earth.

That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.
He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.

God, if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline,
I might as well wipe him from my memory.
Fracture the spell as he becomes my enemy.
And maybe I was washed out
like a lip print on a shirt.
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt.
I want him, I want him to hurt.

Since I lost the power to pretend
that there could ever be a happy ending.
That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.

He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.
God give me strength.

Oooooooh. Oooooh.
Wipe him from my memory.
Oooh. I got to him wipe him from my memory.
Mmmm. Ooooooooh.

Each day through my window
I watch him as he passes by.
I say to myself, "What an incredible guy."
To have a love like that
must surely be a dream come true.
Out of all the women in the world,
he belongs to only you.

But it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.

Soon we'll be married
and raise a family.
A cozy little home out in the country
with two kids or three.

I tell you, I can visualize it all.
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems.

Ohh, but it was just my imagination, once again
runnin' away with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.

Every night on my knees I pray:
Dear Lord, hear my plea.
Don't ever let another take his love from me
or I will surely, surely die.

His love is heavenly.
When his arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody.
But in reality
he doesn't even know me.

Once again
runnin' away with me.
Ohh, just my imagination
runnin' away with me.

It was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
running away with me.

Just my imagination
runnin' away with me

Oooooh
Oooooh

Lookin' back over my years
I guess I've shed some tears.
Told myself time and again
this time I'm gonna win.

But another fight. Things ain't right.
I'm losing again.
It takes a fool to lose twice
and start all over again.

I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Let it go, baby.
I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO. Ohh, yeah.

I tried to take control of the love.
He took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.

Takin' the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
And I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.

So I think I gotta
gotta let it go
I gotta let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Oh, yes it does, yes it does.

I think I gotta
gotta let it go
Mmmmmmm.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.

Boy, whatcha want me to do? Can't stand up to you.
No no no no.

I try to take control of the love.
It took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.

Taking the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
Then I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.

I think I better
better let it go
I better let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.

Yeah, I better
better let it go
I gotta let him go.
let it go, Miss M.
Another love, love TKO.

Ooohhhh, boy you got me turned around and around and around.
Around and around.
Everybody's got to cry sometime.
That's what they say. I heard them say.

Everybody's gonna cry sometime.
Mama says that they did, that they did.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii . . .

Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
to cross this sea of lonliness,
part this red river of pain.
I don't necessarily buy
any key to the future or hapiness
but I need a little place in the sun sometimes
or I think I'll die.

And everywhere is somewhere but nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
But I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
with an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer. Heh.

Every time I see him he smiles
and tells me how well he's walking these miles.
But he never ever asks a single thing about me.
If I died he'd hear about it eventually.
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
to cross this sea of lonliness,
part this red river of pain. Ohhh.

'Cause everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
And I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
with my bills in the mailbox and some checks
that won't clear this year.

Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
So I'm just a tragic figure in the corner over here
who'll sleep it off 'til morning and still not know that we're,

we're all just diamonds and roses. I need Moses
to cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.

Ly ly ly, ly ly ly, ly ly ly.

Who loves me even though I crazy
And nothing that I say is true
Who won my heart and soul forever
It is nobody else but
Nobody else but

Each time I fell I'm out to pasture
Who always makes me feel brand new
I'm pledging my allegiance baby to
Nobody else but
Nobody else but

(Bridge)
Look at me
Laughing out loud
Trying to remember
All the jokes that you taught me

When you see
The light in my eyes
It's only a reflection
Of the joy that you brought me

How did I get to be so happy
I"ll wonder that my whole like through
I thank my lucky star for sending me
Nobody else but
Nobody else but
Nobody else but
You

La, la, la, la, you
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Wo-o-oh

(Repeat Bridge)

I always thought I had an angel
A voice that told me what to do
But now that angel's on my shoulder
It's nobody else but
Nobody else but
Nobody else but
You

La, la, la, la, you
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

I held you close to me
once in a distant dream,
far from the shores of my fear.
I sailed on the ocean where
all I imagined could happen,
and now you are here.

It's so hard to touch
what is out of our hands,
to know and to trust
what the heart understands.

Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.

Life gives us magic and
life brings us tragedy.
Everyone suffers some loss.
Still we have faith in it,
childlike hope.
There's a reason that outweighs the cost.

And gravity throws
all these rules in our way.
And sometimes the sprit
refuses to play.

Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.

And oh, love,
turn me around in your arms.
And in this dream we share
let us not miss one kiss.

And add my regrets
to the tears in the rain
for that's what the color
of roses contain.

Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream,
ever dream what comes true.

Bless you chi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ild.

You suffer, you're human,
you sin, you fail,
you love, you hate, you ail,
you hunger, you lust, you deceive,
you trust, you disbelieve.

Bless you for your weakness.
Bless you for your strength.
Bless you for that smile
that is so hard to trace.
Ooooh, bless you child, bless you child.

You wander, you come home.
You can't survive this world alone.
You deny, you admit,
you start, you can't quit.

Bless you for your weakness.
Bless you for your strength.
Bless you for that smile
that is so hard to trace.
Ooooh, bless you child, bless you child.

Sometimes an ending is the best place to start.
Bless yourself, bless your heart.
Bless yourself, bless your heart.

Hey hey hey yeah, uh huh.
Hey hey hey yeah, uh huh.
Hey hey hey yeah, uh huh.
Hey hey hey, ohhhhh!

Bless you for your weakness.
Bless you for your strength.
Bless you for that smile
that is so hard to trace.
Ooooh, bless you child, bless you child.

Oh pleeeease, yeah. Bless you child.
I say now. I say now.
I know it's true.

Bless yourself, bless your heart.
Bless yourself, bless your heart.
Bless yourself, bless your heart.
Oh pleeeeeease.

Bless yourself, bless your heart.
Bless you child.
Bless you child.
I know it's true.

Bless you child.
Bless yourself, bless your heart . . .

Always remember my friend,
the world will change again.
And you may have to come back
through everywhere you've been.

When your life was low,
you had nowhere to go.
People turned their backs on you,
and everybody said that you were through.

I took you in, made you strong again
put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
you left me shining.

Now you're doing well
from stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.

Although I never hear from you,
still it's nice to know
you used to love me so,
when your life was low.

I took you in. I made you strong again.
I put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,

You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.

Although I never hear from you,
still it's nice to know

when your life was low.

But always remember my friend,
the world will change again.
And you may have to come back
through everywhere you've been.
The world will change again.

Honey, you are my shining star.
Don't you go away.
I wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day. Yes I do.

So many have tried,
tried to find a love like yours and mine. Ohhh-whoa.
But don't they realize how you hypnotize?
Make me love you more each time. Ohhh-whoa.

Honey, I'll never leave you lonely, yeah.
Give my love to you only, yeah.
To you only, to you only.

Oh honey, you are my shining star.
Don't you go away.
Yeah, I wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day. Yeah.

It feels so good
when we're lying next to each other,
lost in love, lost in love,
drifting along on a cloud of love.

Ooh, baby when we touch I love you so much.
You're all I ever dreamed of. Ohhh-whoa.
Hone, I'll never leave you lonely, yeah.
Mmm, give my love to you only, yeah.
To you only, to you only.

Oh honey, you, you are, you are my shining star.
Don't you go away, no.
I wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day. Mmmm.

It feels so good, it feels so good
when we're lying here
lost in love, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love.
Oh baby, when we touch I love you so much.
You, you're all I ever dreamed of.

In spite of all we know, how little we know.
In spite of all they say, how little we see.
I only know, you and me together forever.
You are my shining star, mmm, yes you are.
Shine on, shine on. Keep on shining on.
Shine on, shine on. Keep on shining on . . .
