To Deserve You - Lyrics by Bette Midler


Lyrics
I see so many golden women;
when they walk their feet don't touch the ground.

How I want, how I want to deserve you.

But me, I'm always out of rhythm.

My needs too demanding, too proud.

How I want, how I want to deserve you.

I didn't want you to see me like this.

The light of the dawn can be cruel.

How I want, how I want to deserve you.

And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.

How I want to deserve you.

I would die for you.

Could you ever love me that much?

How I want, how I want to deserve you.

Yes, you tell me this,
and I want to believe that it's true.

Aah, how I want, how I want to deserve you.

I didn't want you to see me like this.
I'm weak and I fight like a fool.

How I want, how I want to deserve you.

And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.

How I want to deserve you.


If I could be your angel
I'd trade in my arms for some wings
to keep you close to me.

And if I could trade my voice
for the silence I know that you need.

Aaaah, how I want, how I want to deserve you.

I didn't want you to see me like this.

So frightened of losing so soon.

How I want, how I want to deserve you.

And if I've caught our love in a grip,
just tell me and I'll shake it loose.

How I want to deserve you.


Oh, na na na na na.

Oh, ohhhhh.

How I want to deserve you.

Na na na na na na na.

Whoa, ohhhhh.

How I want to deserve you.

Oh, I want to deserve you.

Na na na na na na . . .
