BETTE MIDLER LYRICS - To Deserve You

"To Deserve You"



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. . .
