Mariah Carey - Bringing On The Heartbreak Lyrics






Gypsy, sittin lookin pretty
A broken rose and laughin' eyes
You're a mystery
Always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searchin'
Searchin for a feelin'
But it's easy come and easy go

Oh
I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin all the best of me
Oh can't you see
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see

You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartache
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see
Oh

You're such a secret
Misty eyed and shady
Baby, how you hold the key
Oh, you're like a candle
Your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me
Can't you see
Just tryin' to say to you

You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin all the best of me
Oh can't you see
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see

You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartache
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see
Can't you see

No
No
No

You got the best of me
Oh can't you see
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see
You're bringin on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache

You're bringin on the heartbreak
You're bringin on the heartache

  28. A.... R....

    I’m sorry but this is shit compared to Def Leppard’s original

  49. R.... C....

    A versão dela é perfeita

  50. T.... A....

    DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen has told the Montreal Gazette that he's all for MARIAH CAREY's recent revival of the group's "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" (from 1981's "High 'n' Dry") — a cover some fans have considered an act of high treason.
    "You get e-mails from fans, and they go, 'It's disgusting, it's terrible,'" he said. "I said, 'No — you've got to realize that she's on our side. Someone's actually out there promoting one of our songs. You should give her all the help she can get.'
    "Ultimately, it's just a great honor for us (if) anyone does that — and does a real genuine version, not recording the song and making fun of the band, like the Michael Jackson thing by ALIEN ANT FARM ('Smooth Criminal'). With Mariah it was a genuine version of our song. I actually think that's a huge compliment

  51. T.... A....

    That whistle at the end is worth everything.

  52. E.... ....

    I spent months looking for this song and I finally found it

  53. A.... M....

    Another number one!!!

  54. L.... M....

    Isso que é música
    Não essa música de hoje em dia
    Sou deste tempo 😍😍😭😭

  55. P.... B....

    She gets too much praise for this. Yea she has a great voice but lots of people do. It’s not even her song.This song is so good that any decent singer could cover it and sound great. I don’t get what the big deal about this cover is. The original is much MUCH better anyway😂.

    P.... B....

    Peyton B she changed the composition of the instruments, notice there's no guitar through most of the song? She switched out the drum beats for snaps with a new rhythm and changed the background vocals quite a bit. I'm pretty sure it's also a different tempo and obviously a different pitch. Also, re doing the vocals well isn't easy, she had to make an entirely new melody for quite a few parts

    P.... B....

    Bob Turner if you think she is the one who edited out the guitars and drums and replaced them with sound effects your crazy. She changed the vocals.she made them a different tempo pitch and made different parts sound different. That’s it. And if you think about it that’s really not much. Just think of a song you know well and start singing it slower or faster. Change the sound. It’s really not that hard to sing a good song, change it slightly, and make it sound good as well.

    P.... B....

    Peyton B she is the main producer in this song so it's highly likely she did, she's an extremely talented writer. and she didn't edit out the drums and guitar, they recorded the rest of the instruments newly. if it's so easy to entirely change a songs basics like that then why doesn't every artist do it?

    P.... B....

    Bob Turner Mariah Carey is not responsible for the background instrumentation or sound effects. I’m sure she had ideas of what it should sound like but someone else had to bring that to real life. Her only real contribution is the vocals. And what you don’t realize is that almost every song is a cover (somewhat). Every artist is inspired by other artists. Very few artists can say they have made revolutionary music that, when created was something completely new. Mariah Carey is not one of these artists who have done so. Most artists don’t make covers because they want to be more original. They will instead incorporate certain aspects of a song that they like but do everything else there way. This cover is basically that except she kept the lyrics of the original. If she was singing completely different lyrics this song would still strongly resemble the original.

    P.... B....

    Bob Turner what I am saying is that the only reason we consider this a cover is because she did not change the lyrics. If she did this would just be a normal Mariah Carey song. My point being, what she did here is no more impressive than her usual songs.

  56. L.... R....

    My favorite song.

  58. R.... B....

    Is it just me or the video version is really different from the cd version? The beat at the beginning, the more accentuated electric guitar part before the whistle and some vocals are also more accentuated here.

  59. f.... ....

    Theres Navarro.....wait for it...ok here comes the heavy guitars.....wait.....Nope, just a shirtless dude. Oh well. Lol 😆

  60. E.... T....

    DEF LEPPARD ONLY 👎

  61. z.... ....

    1k is too many))

  62. J.... ....

    Def leppard's version is still better

  63. S.... R....

    She sang the song great I just missed the guitar for this song

  64. J.... V....

    Those legs ohhh lord

  65. A.... A....

    No No No........ Why Why Why did you do this Mariah????

  66. M.... U....

    Love this version Mariah !!!! Argentina 🇦🇷

  67. K.... M....

    I just found out the existence of this video. Lamb card revoked.

    K.... M....

    And this is even better than the album version

  68. G.... H....

    Personally I do not like her cover of the song. Being the rock ballad it is and the fact that Mariah is a female and a pop singer, her cover lacks the power of a rock band and a male voice behind it. I also don't like it when artists change up a song to suit their style when the song is clearly written to suit a specific genre. In my opinion she completely ruined the song. I don't care for the whistle register notes because they don't fit with the song. To me it's more impressive how close you can get it to the original. There's a reason rock ballads are legendary and best left the way they are.

    Am I in any way trashing Mariah and saying she should never sing again or that she doesn't have significant capability as a singer? Not at all. I just think that such a big song does not suit her, or her voice or the genre she performs it in.

    Do I suddenly like her or her music? Not at all. That is my preference and I'm just stating my opinion.

    G.... H....

    Mariah is one of the greatest vocalists of all time, she made this song different because she is an rnb singer🤷🏻‍♀️

    G.... H....

    Opinions and preferences are fairly understood and entitled for all. I see this cover as the highest form of flattery for any musician/artist out there. Especially if the artist is genuine with their craft and gives the original composers the honorable allegiance and respect. Mariah in her own right is a highly talented songwriter, producer and musician. She went for the song because she was a fan of the original record. The lyrics spoke to her soul. It's all love. It takes nothing away from Def Leppard and their legacy. If anything, it promoted their music to a new audience and made them some coin.

    You loyal Def Leppard need to simmer down. I understand the loyalty. Mariah just paid them homage. That is positive. ✌

  69. j.... r....

    I like her vearson of this song she rocks rep that woman power y'all Heather pastor AKA hizzle

  70. T.... B....

    This is how you completely fuck up a great song.

  71. S.... K....

    Producer: Mariah are you gonna whisper the whole song?

    Mariah: 3:05

    S.... K....

    Mariah was actually the main producer in this song

  72. j.... r....

    Her vearson of this song rocks hizzle

  78. F.... o....

    MC!!!!!!!

  79. C.... M....

    When this came out and I heard that Mariah did a Def Leppard cover I LOLed!! I thought it would be shit! But as I listened into it more I had to admit she did an amazing job! So kudos to her! Those high notes with the guitar towards the end are rocking as fuck!! Wow! I now even prefer it than the original!

  80. D.... ....

    Wow you want to really butcher a great song let Mariah sing it!!!

    D.... ....

    @Kaylynn Khazarian ok there are two options here, I either ignore you or I reply... I am going to go with option 2... While I am more than convinced in YOUR eyes Mariah can do no wrong, the simple fact is, she did a cover of a great song and did it zero justice there was no positive aspect of what she did regarding this song, thus me saying she butchered it... and to answer your question... curiosity brought me here, and I think she does have some talent and of course people like you could hear her record herself farting into a mic and say "well as far as farting goes she did it amazingly and she even was able to use a whistle tone while doing it!!!"

    D.... ....

    Darjia okay if you don’t like it just move on, it’s clearly not your style of music but you can’t deny her talent and legendary impact

    D.... ....

    @Kaylynn Khazarian I did move on it was 2 months ago YOU brought it up so i replied

    D.... ....

    @Darjia- Your opinion is your own. And fully entitled to them. But your opinion is not law. So you feel she butchered it. Oh well. Millions across the world would oppose to that statement(many would agree with you, I wouldn't be ignorant to deny it) Mariah's music caters to those of us, that resonates with it and genuinely admire and enjoy the material she puts out.

    I will add that the record industry is very fickle. History has shown us a plethora of musicians whom have made some buzz, only to go into obscurity. The revolving doors of the industry does not discriminate. For an individual like Mariah whom has been "relevant" from her entrance onto the scene, to this present time, that her prominence as an influencer and talent is not something to just brush off lightly or mold into a disposable "pop" gimic.

    Her legacy speaks for itself. So if she decides to "cover" a song. Great! It's a compliment. The song, the lyrics, obviously touched her. In which she is fully entitled to pursue the rightful endeavors to release it. Being the legitimate composers give their clearance and validation.

    D.... ....

    @KSU Freedom I am pretty sure I did not state my opinion is law... let me check... (checks) Yeah, I did not... as for giving her the clearance and validation. for some odd reason you seem to think because of her "legacy" people should automatically accept it and consider it a compliment that "she has graced us with this rendition. that is like saying if Andy Warhol who also has a legacy decided to paint the Mona Lisa and put a hat and sunglasses on her we should say great job!!! Let me break it down for you... if you decide to cover a song, you can either elevate it with your rendition or not... and in my "opinion she did not... a further example is George Michael who covered Elton John's "don't let the sun go down on me" He elevated the song and did not try to turn it into something it's not and I am pretty sure he has a legacy as well :)

  81. S.... J....

    Def Leppard sucks compared to Mariah's cover

  82. Y.... T....

    Real gem..

  83. D.... B....

    Her whistle was so excellent can sound excatly like electric guitar... What a superb talent.. My queen

  84. D.... B....

    This is why i love her so much... Oh hail our queen

  85. T.... F....

    Anyone else know the reference to The Rose?

  86. O.... A....

    this is one of my favourite song by Mariah... so underrated

  87. p.... r....

    This is one of my fav covers she did. She made this version her own! So good, and on repeat!

  88. C.... G....

    Charmbracelet has a very different tone to it. One of her most profound vocal eras ever!!!

  89. A.... C....

    This song just came to my mind (it’s been a while) & being away from my CD collection, I’m glad a quick search in YT pulled this right up....also can’t believe its been over 10 years since this video was made, or that I had the privilege of being there (in the “concert” scene). It was my first time seeing her in person and she was absolutely stunning, singing other songs in between takes with us...it was one looooong but amazing day. I never got tired of this song playing over and over back then...and after all this time, I’m hitting repeat a few times now (p.s. still in love with that whistle note😍)

    A.... C....

    Jealous!!!

    A.... C....

    Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

  90. I.... M....

    2019 ❤🥰

  91. m.... ....

    I’m not sure how much I like this version, but big respect to any artist who covers a classic and doesn’t just karaoke it with the same exact musical arrangement. Props to her for putting her own signature on it.

  92. C.... B....

    Charmbracelet obsessed with Mariah in this era 💕💕💕

  93. H.... B....

    i'm glad this song has 2 versions, i enjoy both of them, both are amazing

  94. C.... T....

    Love this song

  95. p.... r....

    Killed it! The whistle gives me goosebumps! Love this cover!
