Bette Midler
He Was Too Good to Me / Since You Stayed Here
[Part I: He Was Too Good to Me]
[Verse 1]
He was too good to me
How will I get along now?
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was his fun
[Verse 2]
When I was mean to him
He'd never say, "Go away, now"
I was a queen to him
Who's gonna light my way now?
It's only natural that I'm blue
He was too good to be true
[Part II: Since You Stayed Here]
[Verse 1]
You'd never recognize the room
The pictures all have different frames now
And all the chairs are rearranged now
Somehow—I've thrown out every souvenir
Yes, there've been changes made
Since you stayed here
[Verse 2]
You'd never recognize the street
The neighbors' kids play different games now
The colors in the trees have changed now
Strange, how I've hardly thought of you this year
Yes, there've been changes made
Since you stayed here
[Bridge]
The same address
The more or less
More happens—less matters
I guess...
[Verse 3]
You'd never recognize my life
The party-givers know my name now
And when I cry, it's not the same now
Somehow—I never waste a single tear
Yes, there've been changes made
Since you stayed here
[Outro]
You'd never recognize the room
You'd never recognize...
