Songwriter: Ben Raleigh Bob Halley

Producer: Don Was

That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made

They told me I was such a fool to love you
They said that you're the kind who'd never be true
Pretty soon the day would come
When I'd be the sorry one
But I said that I'm not afraid

Well, that's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made

I went ahead and my heart opened the door
I gave you so much love
No one could love more

You pretended to be mine
How could you be so unkind
With all the other girls you play

Well, that's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made

I know you're not sincere and you'll never be
But still I want those kisses so desperately
I could never let you go, baby even though I know
Every rule in love you disobeyed

Well, that's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made

Bette Midler

Bette Midler is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, comedienne and actress. Named in honor of Bette Davis, Midler’s career began performing off-broadway until she developed the stage persona The Divine Miss M while singing at the world-famous Continental Baths gay bathhouse. A pre-fame Barry Manilow, the venue’s in-house piano player, produced her Grammy-nominated debut album which scored three US top 40 singles including the Grammy-nominated “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Midler took home the Best New Artist Grammy that year, her first of three career wins.

Throughout the 1970s, Midler found further success with music, Broadway, television and film. The Rose, Midler’s 1979 acting debut, earned her both Oscar and Academy Award nominations, and its namesake song won her a Golden Globe and another Grammy – also giving Midler her first success overseas.

The early 1980s proved less successful for Midler with four under-performing singles and a box office flop with the film Jinxed. However, the second half of the decade would prove far more fruitful with a handful of very successful films including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune and Beaches, the latter featuring a chart-topping cover of “Wind Beneath My Wings” that won Midler her third Grammy and is considered one of the greatest songs in American film history.
