Альбом Bette Midler

Every time I touch you
my heart skips a beat.
Every time I kiss you
I feel love from my head to my feet.
Somethin' deep within me, baby,
sayin' you should be mine.
Don't you know, baby, somewhere
I got to, I got to draw the line?

Tell me, baby, whose side are you on?
Are you wih me, or am I all alone?
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, baby,
oh, where you been so long?
Since I need you,
oh, won't you please come ho-ome?

And every mornin' I wake up,
can't hide my tears.
After all the lovin', baby,
we've had through the years.
It's a lonely season, baby,
for you to leave, leave with no reason, babe.
I just can't help believin'
this time you're really, really, really leavin'.

Whoa, baby, whose side are you on?
Are you with me, or am I all alone?
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, baby,
oh, where you been, where ya,
where have you been so long?
Since I need you, woo, come on home!

Whoa, baby, whose side are you on?
Since I need you, oh-oo-oh-ho!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, baby,
where you been, where you been,
where you been so g-ddamn long?
Since I need you,
whoa, honey, honey, come home!
Owwwww!!!!

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.
It's a long, long time
before the day,
before the day.

You know, you know sometimes, sometimes people say to me, "Rose, when's the first time you ever heard the blues?" And u know what i tell 'em? "The day i was born." You know why? You know why? 'Coz i was born a woman.
Ah! Oh! We got some noisy females in the house tonight! I do like to hear that high-pitched sound, you know I do.
Oh, being a woman is so interesting don't you find it?
What are we ladies, what are we? We are waitresses at the banquet of life! Get into that kitchen and rattle them pots and pans... and you better look pretty god-damned good doing it too or else you gonna lose your good thang!
Oh! And why do we dot that, why do we do that? I tell you why we do that, we do that to find looove.


Oh, i love to be in love, don't you love to be in love? Ain't it just great to be in love?
Oh, ain't it wonderful? Isn't it wonderful to be in love? Ain't it just grand laying there late at night in bed waiting for your man to show up? And when he finally does, round about four o'clock in the morning with whiskey on his breath and the smell of another woman on his person...
Oh, honey I can smell another woman at five hundred paces! That's a easy one to catch! So what do you do when he comes home with the smell of another woman on him?
Do you say, "Oh, honey, let me open up my loving arms and my loving legs! Dive right in, baby, the water's fine!" Is that what you say, girls?! Or do you say, "Pack your bags! I'm putting on my little waitress cap and my fancy high heel shoes. I'm gonna go find me a real man, a good man, a true man, a man to love me for sure."
You know I tell you something, I tell u something: I tohught... at one time i actually thought i found myself one. I did, I thought I found myself one. When he... When he...

"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.
He'll 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,
gives her 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.
Yeah, she's bad, but, oooh,
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 . . . yeah.

When a man loves a woman
he can do her no wrong.
He could never hold another girl.
Oh, you tell me you love me, baby,
and gonna hold me tight.
Baby, baby, this is a man's world.
No, no.
Oh, baby, a change is gonna come down
in this man's world.

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 nothing
Let's just say this one's on me
Yeah

You know I

CHORUS:
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, oh

Oh, 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
oh oh oh

CHORUS

Did you like it?
Was it good?
Did it make you wanna cry?
Did you like it?
Am I good?
Is it worth another try?

Sold my soul to rock 'n roll
It's time to take that train
The one that goes from heaven
Straight to Houston
The one that goes from heaven
Straight to Houston

You know I been thinkin'
Lord, about the hard sides of rock and roll.
They say you can't make no money,
ooh, unless you're the Rolling Stones.
That put a chip on my shoulder;
gave me the fire in my in my blood.

Children of the Earth,
listen what I say.
You made rock and roll
what it is today.
And no two-bit fascist
is gonna shoot us down.
So come on children,
bring your guns to town.
Shoot 'em down!

We can rock and roll all night long.
And I wanna see you out there feelin' strong.
And I wanna give you, ooh, the shot you need.
I'll be your doctor. You just call on me.
Call on me, baby, baby.
Call on me, call on me, baby.

Keep on rockin'.
Keep on rockin'.
Keep on, rock 'n' roll
gonna never die.
Keep on rockin'.
Keep on rockin'.
Keep on, rock 'n' roll
gonna never die.

Children of the Earth,
listen what I say.
You made rock and roll
what it is today.
And no two-bit fascist
is gonna shoot us down.
So come on children,
bring your guns,
bring your guns to town.

Keep on rockin'.
Keep on rockin'.
Keep on, rock 'n' roll

Keep on rockin'.
Keep on rockin'.

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,
Millitch 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.

"Oh, no, no. Wait. Oh, no. No, wait a minute. . . . I can't just walk out on my old friends, now can I?"

[Нет текста]

It's very good to be home...
It feels real good to be home...
And, and, uh, and you're my family... Thank you for coming...


I, uh, I didn't mean... I didn't mean to be late... uh... do you forgive me?
Well, I... I forgive you, too.
What are we waiting for boys? My boys? Stay with me, baby, come on... loud and whip.

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?
Yeah, stay with me, baby.
Remember, you said you always gonna love me.
Remember, you said you'd never ever leave me.
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you.
Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, stay with me, baby, baby, baby.
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't go, oh, on.

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.
I'm begging you, stay with me.
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, stay with me, baby.
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't go on.

Mmm, why dontcha let me call you sweetheart?
I'm in love with you.
Mm, let me hear ya say
that you love me too.
Keep the love-light glowin'
in your eyes so true.
Cause . . .

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, it's 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 wont 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 too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

Just remember, in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love
In the spring, becomes the rose
