Bittersweet – Madonna
In my hallucination
I saw my beloved’s flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the spirit of love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow
I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my love says:
Look at me and hear me
Because I am here
Just for that
I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you
Oh sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I, too, have been covered with thorns
Bells Ring – Madonna
Bells ringing inside my head
Now, I could ignore them
But I choose to live instead
So I take up into the sky
And the bells ringing
Gonna teach me how to fly
And I know that I’m alright
Cause I hear those bells ringing tonight
Yeah, I know that I’m alright
Cause I hear those bells ringing tonight
Well the earth’s shaking
Underneath my feet
Now, I could run and hide
But I’d rather watch and see
How the world’s changing
Before my very eyes
And the Earth shaking
Comes as no surpise
And I know that I’m alright
Cause I hear the Earth shaking tonight
Yeah, I know that I’m alright
Cause I hear the Earth shaking tonight
Ocean’s roaring, miles away from me
Someone teach me how to swim
I’m gonna jump into the sea
Gonna go way down deep
Open up my eyes and see
How the Ocean’s roaring
Gonna set me free
Ocean’s roaring
Earth shaking
Bell’s ringing tonight
(repeat)
Bells ringing, inside…
Bedtime Story – Madonna
Today is the last day that I’m using words
They’ve gone out, lost their meaning
Don’t function anymore
Let’s, let’s, let’s get unconscious honey
Let’s get unconscious honey
Today is the last day that I’m using words
They’ve gone out, lost their meaning
Don’t function anymore
Traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness
Traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness
[Chorus:]
Let’s get unconscious honey
Let’s get unconscious
Let’s get unconscious honey
Let’s get unconscious
Words are useless, especically sentences
They don’t stand for anything
How could they explain how I feel
Traveling, traveling, I’m traveling
Traveling, traveling, leaving logic and reason
Traveling, traveling, I’m gonna relax
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness
[chorus]
And inside we’re all still wet
Longing and yearning
How can I explain how I feel?
[chorus]
Traveling, traveling [repeat twice]
Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness
And all that you’ve ever learned
Try to forget
I’ll never explain again
Beautiful Stranger – Madonna
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 tumbling down
You’re the devil in disguise
That’s why I’m singing this song
CHORUS 1:
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
CHORUS 2:
… Beautiful stranger
… 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
CHORUS 1
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
CHORUS 1
I’ve paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride
CHORUS 2
Beat Goes On – Madonna

Be Careful (With My Heart) – Madonna
(Ricky Martin:)
Be careful with my heart
You could break it
Don’t take my love for granted
Things could change
Sometimes I go insane
I play the fool and you’ll agree
I’ll never be the same
Without you here with me
Chorus:
Cuidado [Please be careful]
Con mi corazon
Me siento
Algo desnuda
Cuidado [Please be careful]
Es mi corazon
Mi corazon
(Madonna:)
Be careful with my heart
You could break it
Don’t take my love for granted
Things could change
Sometimes I go insane
I play the fool and you’ll agree
I’ll never be the same
Without you here with me
Chorus2:
Cuidado [Please be careful]
Con mi corazon
Carino
No me lastimes
Cuidado [Please be careful]
Es mi corazon
Mi corazon

Back In Business – Madonna
I’m gonna show you that good guys don’t always win
I’m gonna show you the brighter side of living in sin.
So when you’re six feet under, you won’t wonder why
Just ’cause you got a halo don’t mean that you can fly.
If you thought it was over, you’re way off track
You made a blunder, and…
Chorus:
You put me back, back in business,
This ain’t no hit or miss, I’m gonna get my way.
‘Cause you put me back, back in business,
You’re my first witness, and I’m here to stay.
I’m gonna show you good guys always finish last
Speaking of virtue, being nice is a thing of the past.
When I want something done, I’ll say it with a gun
Just ’cause you’re an angel don’t mean you’re having fun.
I just wanted to thank you for what you lack
Hope they don’t hang you, ’cause…
(chorus)
A tisket, a tasket, you’ve lost your yellow basket.
(Spoken:) You don’t know if you want to hit me or kiss me.
I just wanted to thank you for what you lack
Hope they don’t hang you, ’cause…
(chorus)
He’s back in business now
Give me a hand and I’ll take a bow.
He’s back in business now
Bah dah dah, bah dah dah, bah dah dah, bah dah dah.
He’s coming back in style
Give me an inch and I’ll take a mile.
He’s back and why oh why
Bah dah dah, bah dah dah, bah dah dah, bah dah dah.
Are you ready? – Madonna
Take a look around
At all people everywhere
So much energy and excitement in the air
And the time is right
To get together with the people you know
So sing out loud and clear don’t be affraid
To let your feelings show
Chorus:
Are you ready for it?
Rockin’ steady for it Are you ready for it?
Are you ready for it?
Rockin’ steady for it
Are you ready for it?
You know the time is right
To make the world a better place to be
So don’t worry yourself, just take a stand
And let yourself be free
Because there’s too much sadness
And confusion out here on the street
And we can change the situation
If we just get in the driver’s seat
(chorus)
I’ve got a one track mind
I’m gonna have a good time
Are you ready for it?
I said, a ready set go
Tell everyone you know
That you’re ready for it
Another Suitcase In Another Hall – Madonna
(Eva:)
I don’t expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it, wouldn’t you?
Chorus:
(Eva:) So what happens now?
(Che:) Another suitcase in another hall
(Eva:) So what happens now?
(Che:) Take your picture of another wall
(Eva:) Where am I going to?
(Che:) You’ll get by, you always have before
(Eva:) Where am I going to?
Time and time again I’ve said that I don’t care
That I’m immune to gloom, that I’m hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me, and they do
(chorus)
Call in three months time and I’ll be fine, I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I’ll survive anyhow
I won’t recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that’s no consolation here and now.
(chorus, with Che’s lines being sung by the starlets)
Angel – Madonna
Why am I standing on a cloud
Every time you’re around
And my sadness disappears
Every time you are near
Bridge:
You must be an angel
I can see it in your eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
And just now I realize
Chorus:
Oooh you’re an angel
Oooh you’re an angel
Oooh you’re an angel
In disguise, I can see it in your eyes
Walking down a crowded avenue
Other faces seem like nothing next to you
And I can’t hear the traffic rushing by
Just the pounding of my heart and that’s why
(bridge)
(chorus, repeat)
You’re an angel
You’re an angel, baby
You’re an angel
You must be an angel
Now I believe that dreams come true
‘Cause you came when I wished for you
This just can’t be coincidence
The only way that this makes sense is that
You’re an angel
You’re an angel, baby
You’re an angel
You must be an angel, baby
Clouds just disappear
