Bette Midler - Beast of Burden 1984

Bette Midler - Beast of Burden 1984

Now write this down!

I'll never be your beast of burden.
My back is broad, but it's a' hurtin'.
All I want is for you to make love to me.

I'll never be your beast of burden.
I walk for miles, my feet are hurtin'.
All I want is for you to make love to me.

What's the matter with me?
Ain't I hot enough? Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I rich enough? I'm not too blind to see.
Ohh, ohhh.

I'll never be your beast of burden.
So let's go home and draw the curtains.
Put some music on the radio.
C'mon, baby, make some love to me.

Oh, what's the matter with me?
Ain't I hot enough? Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I rich enough? I'm not too blind to see.
Ohh, ohhh.

My little sister is a pretty pretty girl.
My little sister is a pretty pretty girl.
She loves to ride. She loves to crawl.
They love to take her out behind the garden wall.

And when they're done they just throw her away.
And she don't have an awful lot to say.
It hurts her so bad to come to the end.
I re, I remember all the times she spent sayin', "Please!"

Ain't I hot enough? Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I rich enough? I'm not too blind to see.
Ohh, ohhh.

Ohh.
Ohhhh.

I'll never be your beast of burden.
My back is broad, baby, but it's a' hurtin'.
And all I want is you to make love to me.

What's the matter, what's the matter with me?
Ain't I hot enough? Oooh, yeah, ain't I rough enough?
Oooh, yeah, ain't I rich enough

the early amy winehouse;)

[Toastwithmarmelade]

That's where Amy Winehouse learned how to move and how to comb her hair ;-)

[LeonardoJr1335]

Don't say she is a "early Amy" say that Amy is lately Bette. sry bad english ;x

[musique1975]

Why do people say the early Amy Winehouse? Bette Midler sounds more close to

Janis Joplin when singing this song .

[SimmyRoberts]

[ScientificoPiano]

Watching this is an addiction. She's such an amazing performer. Watching her perform live is even more entertaining!

[SwedenWiwa]

Yeah! Finnaly my cover is up! Not that I´m trying to beat the queen herself, everyone knows thats impossible. Just wanna share another version of this song.

Greeting form Wiwa in sweden :))

I saw her sing this on Johnny Carson at the time, and she was fantastc. I'm not sure the brilliance of Bette Midler has ever been fully captured on record. She has to be seen live to be appreciated.
