I just had to hear your voice
You've always been my rock
The one that puts me back together on my away around the block

Yeah I'm a late night phone call
An ear that you can bend
The sister you never had, your lover and your closest friend

And it breaks my heart I'll never be what you need from me

Oh I've tried and failed
I've prayed like hell
To change but I can't change
I'll let you down 'cos I'm still the same
And I can't be what you need from me

You need a trophy on your arm
So you don't look so lonely
Someone to get you through the night, someone to start your morning coffee

You need a man that you can count on
Someone who'll finish what he started
Not a restless soul who comes and goes and leaves you broken-hearted

And it breaks my heart you'll never be what you need from me

Oh I've tried and failed
I've prayed like hell
To change but I can't change
I'll let you down 'cos I'm still the same
And I can't be what you need from me

I've tried, I've failed
I've prayed like hell
But I can't be what you need from me
What you need from me
What you need from me

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
