Save Up All Your Tears - Cher Version

Cher Version

In 1991, Cher released a cover of the song as the second U.S. and third European single from her twenty-first album, Love Hurts. While Beck was the only artist to take the song Top Ten, Cher's version of the song did the best in the U.S. and the UK, cracking the top 40 to peak at #37 in both markets.

Cher's music video for "Save Up All Your Tears" was rather racy, but not as racy as its predecessor "If I Could Turn Back Time". In the video Cher sports three different wigs as well as three different outfits. She first wears a light pink lingerie nighty and a large red curly wig and next another skimpy black lingerie outfit with a dark brown curly wig. The final outfit she wears was one of her most extravagant to date, a dominatrix-themed black leather and chain top, with fishnet stockings and leather nets for sleeves, accompanied by Cher's signature long straight black hair. Twice during the video she turns around to display that she is wearing a thong which reveals a rather large tattoo across her backside. A photograph of this outfit taken by Herb Ritts would be used for the poster for her Love Hurts Tour. Under the banner of "Cher's Back!" with this buttock-revealing poster Cher performed several dates in Europe during her Love Hurts Tour. Later she also performs the song during the reharsal for her Farewell Tour, this performance is available only as a Bonus Material in the DVD of the show.
