Will never understand why this wasn't a massive smash. It's one of the catchiest, most beautifully arranged and perfectly performed songs of the '90s.

"I didn't want you to see me like this. I'm weak and I fight like a fool" always gets me for some reason. One of her best songs imo.

[karelwouters]

One if not the greatest voice of all times ❤

[nickacklam]

This is one of the most powerful songs I know, it captures your attention immediately, it’s beautiful. The truly wonderful Miss M is unique 🤩

[MrRon]

This is one of the world's best songs ever produced and Bet Midler voice is perfection. How did this not make number one around the world. I have been in the music industry for over 45 years and a club DJ so I know a bit about music

[BetteTwain]

Bette needs more recognition 😢 I mean she’s divine miss M after all ❤ amazing timeless beauty and super talented.

[franxugames]

What an underrated song!! This is so beautiful.

[JohanLebbing]

The sentence "I would die for you", at 1:38 made me love this song even more.

[staceyselvey]

Bette Midler is one heck of an actress and her VOICE IS PHENOMENAL!

[whin]

The first time I ever saw this - I was in a hotel room getting ready to go out and was absolutely stopped in my tracks when this came on TV. One of my favourite ever Bette songs. Beautiful...'I would die for you' gives me goosebumps every time.

[byronlyia]

I love Bette's music and movies so much, my mom looks alike her so much 😍🤍 so reminds me of her when I’m away.

[MayIPleaseAskYou]

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,
How I want to deserve you.
Na na na na na na na.
Whoa,
How I want to deserve you.
Oh, I want to deserve you.
Na na na na na na . . .

I love this song, bette midler really sung this song, it belongs to only her, no one else can sing it that way, and yes im still a fan always..

[a.a.]

I was meditating and this song popped into my head out of nowhere. It was always played in the club i went to back in ‘95. But the original version captures exactly where I’m at right now.

How I wish I could tell him these things. How I wish he could feel this way about me. How I want to deserve you.

[saltwatercb]

My gosh, she looks gorgeous in the video. Like a glorious angel. And what a performer--such charisma and showmanship. She really knows how to deliver a song at a level of performance very few people on this Earth can offer. And I can't get enough of that little yodel-like thing she does on the word "you" during the chorus. Such a great little flourish.
Long live and prosper Bette Midler!!!

[farinelli]

Oh how l want, how l want so see such a beautiful music on MTV 90s!!!😢😢😢

[spectroman]

OMG, when this song came out I was obsessed. Still one of her best!

[MsBananasmel]

So little views for such a fabulous song.

[nel.]

Amazing! She sings with her eyes, with her arms, with her hands, with her soul ... I love!

"I would die for you", at 1:38 made me love this song even more.
