Madonna lyrics: Miscellaneous

(Miscellaneous)

AIN'T NO BIG DEAL

Ain't no big deal to say
I love you still
Call out my name
I'll be here
Ain't no big deal to say
My love is real
When you reach out
I'll be there

Please don't be afraid
To look me in the eye
Sad time is gone
I got no tears to cry
Don't so say you don't know I'm right
I say we'll get by

Ain't no big deal to say
I love you still
Call out my name
I'll be here
Ain't no big deal to say
My love is real
When you reach out
I'll be there

Nobody makes me feel
The way that you do
Night time's such a thrill
When I spend it with you
Ask me what is on my mind
So I can tell you true

Ain't no big thing,
My love is for real
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big thing, uh, yeah
My love is for real
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big thing, uh, yeah
My love is for real

Ain't no big deal, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big thing, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big deal, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big thing, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Please don't be afraid to look
Me in the eye
Sad time is gone
I got no tears to cry
Don't so say you don't know I'm right
When I say we'll get by

Ain't no big thing,
My love is for real
Uh, uhh, uh, uh, uh
I love you still
Ain't no big thing,
My love is for real
Uh, uh, uh
I love you still
Ain't no big thing,
My love is for real

Ain't no big deal, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Ain't no big thing, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Reach out, reach out
I'll be there
Reach out, reach out
I'll be there
Reach out, reach out
I'll be there
Reach out

Oh, oh

Ain't no big deal
Ain't no big thing
Ain't no big deal
Ain't no big thing

GAMBLER

Gambler, gambler

I'm a gambler and
I will take you by surprise

Gambler
I'll aim this straight between your eyes
Gambler
Yeah, I know all the words to say
'Cause I'm a gambler
I only play the game my way

Don't want to say this but I think that I should
I'm better off forgotten if you think that I'd be
Good
One day you see me the next day I'm gone
Don't fight me, baby, I don't want to hold on

I'm a gambler
Gambler

You're not happy with the way I act
You better turn around boy, don't look back
You're getting angry, you know I can see
You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me

I'm a gambler and
I will take you by surprise

You can't stop me now
'Cause I'm right and I'm making advances
Let me show you how
Tonight, I'll be taking my chances
On you, on you, on you, on you
That's right baby

I'm a gambler
Gambler
You understand what I'm talking about

I'm a gambler and
I will take you by surprise

You can't stop me now
'Cause I'm right and I'm making advances
Let me show you how
Tonight, I'll be taking my chances
On you, on you, on you, on you
That's right baby

I'm a gambler
A gambler
'Cause I'm a gambler

You can't stop me now
I'm on the road baby I know how
You can't stop me now
Oh no
You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now

Yeah I'm a gambler
That's right baby

SANTA BABY

Santa baby
Slip a sable under the tree
For me
I've been an awful
Good girl
Santa baby
And hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby
An out of space convertible too
Light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby
And hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun
I've missed
Think of all the fellas that
I haven't kissed
Next year I could be
Ooh so good
If you'd check off my
Christmas list
Boo doo doo doo

Santa honey
I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby
And hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie
There's one thing I really do need
The deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie
And hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby
I'm filling my stocking with a duplex
And checks
Sign your "X" on the line
Santa baby
And hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim
My Christmas tree
With some decorations
Bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo doo doo

Santa baby
Forgot to mention one little thing
A ring
I don't mean a phone
Santa baby
And hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight

SUPERNATURAL

Made your acquaintance
Late one night
You were floating around
You know you gave me quite a fright
You didn't seem like an
Ordinary man
More like a ray of light

You transcendentally imposed
Yourself upon my bed
You know you didn't
Say very much
I'm out of body and I feel
So good in my head
You know I'm really quite touched

I wake up with your fragrance
And it's all over me
What cologne do you wear
I walk around with a smile on my face
'Cause you're close to me
Well I know you're somewhere

Gonna take my chance on
A different kind of romance
A supernatural thing
Gonna have my fill
It gives me such a big thrill to be with
A supernatural thing

I stay uplifted for quite some time
And I'd say that your skills
As a lover are very refined
You know just what I want and
I don't have to ask
Are you reading my mind

You're not demanding for a man
That's really quite rare
You're not the least bit
Obsessed with your hair
You're not upset when
I come home later than ten
For a ghost you're a very good friend

I've got to be a very careful
Never know what the neighbours would say
They already think I'm crazy
I wouldn't like to wake up
And find myself in the family way
A ghost baby

Gonna take my chance on
A different kind of romance
A supernatural thing
Gonna have my fill
It gives me such a big thrill to be with
A supernatural thing
Gonna take my chance on
A different kind of romance
A supernatural thing
Gonna have my fill
It gives me such a big thrill to be with
A supernatural thing

I can't see you
I know you're out there you little rascal
Stop that

I've got to be a very careful
Never know what the neighbours would say
They already think I'm crazy
I wouldn't like to wake up
And find myself in the family way
A ghost baby

Gonna take my pants off
For a different kind of romance
That super duper naturally big thing
It's outrageously large
Supernatural

GOODBYE TO INNOCENCE

I don't wanna say goodbye

There are some who believe that
I owe them something
But they're wrong
I owe nothing to no one but myself
And there are some who say they created me
But only my parents will have that acclaim
I took it from there
I am to blame

Say goodbye to anonymity
Say goodbye
To privacy, but most of all
To innocence
To innocence
To innocence

My life is not a game that
I play to entertain you
And if you can do it better
Then you're welcome to my fame
I'm not gonna waste my time correcting myths and rumors
You believe what you wanna believe

Say goodbye to anonymity
Say goodbye
To privacy, but most of all
To innocence
To innocence
To innocence

I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't need a reason to cry
Kinda makes me wanna
Kinda makes me hafta

Stop and think about it
Stop and think about it
Stop and think about it
Stop
Think about it
Do I want to?

I don't
I don't
Getting up and down
I don't

Up-up, d-d-down, up-up-up
Up-up, d-d-down, up-up-up

Listen up
It always comes down to this

Some people have a snake at the base of their spine
That would suck out your life, that would take all your time
They're called feeders
They're not believers but you must not fear it
They're takers

You know you better stop
Stop and think about it
You know you better stop
Stop and think about it
You know you better stop
Stop and think about it

Your innocence
Your innocence
Your innocence
Your innocence

I don't wanna say goodbye to innocence
I don't need a reason to cry
Innocence

Hold on to your innocence
Hold on
Hold on to innocence
Hold on

Stop and think about it
Say goodbye, think about it
Stop and think about it
Say goodbye, think about it
Stop and think about it
Say goodbye, think about it

FREEDOM

No is just a word that people say
When they're afraid
And if you say no to me
Then I will fight you till
I'm free

Say freedom, brotherhood, justice, just say yes
Say freedom, brotherhood, justice, just say yes

Coz no is just a word that people say
When they can't cope
And if you say no to me
Then I will fight you till
I'm free

Say freedom, brotherhood, justice, just say yes
Freedom, brotherhood, Justice, just say yes

Coz no is just a word
That people say when they are lost
And if you say no to me
Then I will fight you till
I'm free

Say freedom, brotherhood, justice, just say yes
Freedom, brotherhood, justice, brotherhood
Justice, just say yes

Say freedom, brotherhood, justice, just say yes to me

GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION

You've been sanctified
And I've been tried
Guilty by association
You've been canonized
And I've been fried
Guilty by association

All the little loonies
With a salient obsession
Come out from the boonies
With their sharpies and their guns
And we're loaded with questions

Guilty by association
Guilty by association

You've been idolized
And I've been tried
Guilty by association
You've been terrorized
And I've been fried
Guilty by association

All the little loonies
With a salient obsession
Come out from the boonies
With their sharpies and their guns
They're all loaded with questions

Loaded with questions
Loaded with questions

HAS TO BE

Breathe in, breathe out
I say a little prayer
How the gods above
Could be so unfair

I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be

Go on, go on
Don't sit there like a fool
You've graduated from
A different kind of school

I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be
I know there's someone out there
Waiting for me
There must be someone out there
There just has to be

I should be glad that I'm alive
It could have been much worse
I might have never loved at all
And never known what I am worth

How the gods above
Could be so unfair

BE CAREFUL WITH MY HEART

Be careful with my heart
You could break it
Don't take my love for granted
Things could change
Sometimes I go insane
I played the fool and you'll agree
I'll never be the same
Without you here with me

Cuidado (Please be careful)
Con mi corazon
Me siento algo desnuda
Cuidado (Please be careful)
Es mi corazon
Mi corazon

Be careful with my heart
You could break it
Don't take my love for granted
Things could change
Sometimes I go insane
I played the fool and you'll agree

Without you here with me

Cuidado (Please be careful)
Con mi corazon
Carino no me lastimes
Cuidado (Please be careful)
Es mi corazon
Mi corazon

If I could reach out to you
Nothing will stop me
Take your head in my hands
Tell me what would you do
Kiss your eyes, sing you to sleep
Your voice sounds like
A lullaby
Here's my heart, this time to keep
Here's my heart to keep

Cuidado (Please be careful)
Con mi corazon
Carino no me lastimes
Cuidado (Please be careful)
Es mi corazon
Mi corazon

Cuidado (Please be careful)

Me siento algo desnuda

BEAUTIFUL STRANGER

Haven't we met
You're some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I've had the taste for danger
If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Heaven forbid
I'll take my chance on a beautiful stranger

I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumblin' down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song

To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows

To love you is to be part of you
I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Beautiful stranger
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Beautiful stranger

If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Haven't you heard
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I'd like to change my point of view
If I could just forget about you

To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows

I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song to you

To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Beautiful stranger
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Beautiful stranger

AMERICAN PIE

A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Now do you believe in rock 'n roll
And can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

Well I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm 'n blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died

I started singin'

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin'
This will be the day that I die,
This will be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
Well I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
Well now in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire the most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

We start singin'

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin'
This will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die

We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'

TIME STOOD STILL

Despair, regret
And tenderness
Is what I feel for you
I loved you from the very start
What else could I do
You read my mind, you made me cry
Time stood still
And now I know the reasons why
Time stood still

Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been

A flame becomes a fading light
That burns inside my heart
And like a castle in the sand
It had to fall apart
You made me laugh
You gave me hope
It's over now
Our happiness went up in smoke
It's over now

Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been
Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been
