Here’s her live version from Martha’s Vineyard ( where she currently lives and is associated with a store in Vineyard Haven named Midnight Farm, ) :

She sang “Nobody Does it Better” for me. Although I was 11 at the time song came out.

Geffen didn’t come out until later, he dated his share of “beards” back then.

[Obadiah]

"And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner..."

Ah, apparently not then, huh?

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

I thought it was:

"You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself "GO BY".

Reminds me of the time my young daughter was listening to, "Sloopy" and after the line, "Cause Sloopy girl, you know I'm in love with you," she said, "He can't love her very much, he keeps calling her "stupid".

[Interesting Times]

It's too late, baby.

Onward to the spy who loved me...

[ReneeLynn]

Ah. But wouldn’t Carly know the truth?

[Tanniker Smith]

She's so vain, she probably thought I cared all these years now.
Di'n't she, Di'n't she?

[dfwgator]

Well she was still quite naive back then.

[lurk]

Wow, she’s been around. Like a cheerleader who’s been with the whole football team.

[ReneeLynn]

Oh, nevermind. I just got it. Duh.

[dfwgator]

Oh great, now this song is going to be an earworm for the rest of the day.

[Question Liberal Authority]

W. Mark Felt?

[Tanniker Smith]

Beatty is said to have been convinced he was the inspiration behind the song.

Thus making it a self-fulfilling proclamation.

[ReneeLynn]

Hahaha. I guess ‘the wife of a close friend’ would be a good beard and the close friend wouldn’t mind either.

[G Larry]

So, how does a gay guy fit this?:

“You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave”

[thefactor]

I recall years ago a guy paid 10,000 at auction for Carly to tell him. He was made to sign a confidentiality form.

[Petronski]

You probably thought that song was about you.

Didn’t you?

Didn’t you?

Didn’t you?

[GeronL]

Former “lovers” list makes her sound like a special kind of slut
