Laugh To Keep From Crying lyrics - Madonna
I can't lock my door
Oh, I don't have no privacy
The only thing that's mine
Is what's inside of me
When I've had enough
A little voice inside
It says you've got to be tough
You've got to take it in stride
Sometimes I am foolish
I let it get the best of me
At least I know that my mistakes
Are my responsibility
And
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I don't have a dime
Oh, to buy those pretty things
But I hear all the evidence
You know it all sounds the same
But I'm still waiting
I've got my hands open wide
You know my dream isn't fading
I keep it hidden inside
Oh
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I keep on trying
My friends don't understand
Oh, they think I've lost my mind
And I'm choking back the tears
I've got to swallow my pride
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh to keep from crying
I just have to laugh, ah
La, ah
Lo, oh
La, ah
Crimes Of Passion lyrics - Madonna
Crimes of passion
Give me such a sweet reaction
Oh, crimes of passion
Give me so much satisfaction
Don't play dumb with me, I know you know the score
I wait impatiently, tonight I'm yours
Show you what it's like to have your cake and eat it too
I think you'll like what I'm gonna do, oh
Crimes of passion
Give me such a sweet reaction
Oh, crimes of passion
Give me so much satisfaction
I'm not the type of girl who likes to settle down
Some people say that I just want to fool around
Once I get a taste I want more
I'm like a baby in a candy store, oh
Crimes of passion
Give me such a sweet reaction
Oh, crimes of passion
Give me so much satisfaction
There's no reason to feel guilty
It's too late now, what's done is done
If you can keep it a secret darlin'
We can have some fun
I always want the things that I can't get
I don't believe in rules that you can't bend
Even when you say you've got someone at home
Tell her tonight that she's on her own
Crimes of passion
Give me such a sweet reaction
Oh, crimes of passion
Give me so much satisfaction
Oh, crimes of passion (sweet reaction)
Give me such a sweet reaction (so much satisfaction)
Oh, crimes of passion (sweet reaction)
Give me so much satisfaction
Oh, crimes of passion (sweet reaction)
Give me such a sweet reaction (so much satisfaction)
Oh, crimes of passion (sweet reaction)
Give me so much satisfaction
Ain't No Big Deal ('97 Edit) lyrics - Madonna
Reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out
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
So don't so say you don't know I'm right
When 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
Now ask me what is on my mind
So I can tell you true
Ain't no big thing, uh, yeah
Reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, yeah
Reach out, reach out, yeah
Reach out, reach out, yeah
Ow

Ain't no big deal to say my love is real
When you reach out I'll be there
Got love for you so strong it's making me high
Don't know what I'll do if you won't give it a try
So now's the time to make it clear
Let me show you why
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
Ain't no big deal to say I... love you still
Ain't no big deal
Ain't no big thing
Ain't no big deal
Ain't no big thing

Everybody, come on
Everybody, you can do your thing
Everybody, come on, dance and sing

Burning Up lyrics - Madonna
Don't put me off, 'cause I'm on fire
And I can't quench my desire
Don't you know that I'm burning up for your love?
You're not convinced that that is enough
I put myself in this position
And I deserve the imposition
But you don't even know I'm alive
And this pounding in my heart just won't die
I'm burning up
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
For your love
You're always closing your door
Well, that only makes me want you more
And day and night, I cry for your love
You're not convinced that that is enough
To justify my wanting you
Now tell me what you want me to do
I'm not blind, and I know
That you want to want me, but you can't let go
C'mon, let go
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
I'm burning up, burning up for your love
For your love, oh
Do you wanna see me down on my knees?
Or bending over backwards, now, would you be pleased?
Unlike the others, I'd do anything
I'm not the same, I have no shame
I'm on fire
C'mon, let go
Do you wanna see me down on my knees?
Or bending over backwards, now, would you be pleased?
Unlike the others, I'd do anything
I'm not the same, I have no shame
I'm on fire
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
Come on, oh come on - I'm burning up
Uh, uh, uh - I'm burning up
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
Come on, oh come on - I'm burning up
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
Uh, uh, uh
You know you got me burning up, baby
You know you got me burning up, baby
Burning up for your love
Burning up for your love
Burning up for your love
Burning up for your love

Stay ('81) lyrics - Madonna
Am I just dreaming or did you walk through my door?
Do you still feel the same way that you did before?
Did you come to bring me sorrow?
Like all those wasted days
Let's not think about tomorrow
You can stay
Am I just dreaming or did you say you have to go?
If you can't stay forever, I don't wanna know
There's no need to talk about it
The way things used to be
I'm not living here without you
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
No, no, can't let go
No, no, can't let go
No, no, can't let go
Am I just dreaming?
Am I just dreaming or did you walk through my door?
Do you still feel the same way that you did before?
Did you come to bring me sorrow?
Like all those wasted days
Let's not think about tomorrow
You could stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'

Don't You Know? lyrics - Madonna
You, you make my life much bright, baby
You're always on my mind
Don't you know you, you make my load much light, baby
True love is ours to find
You came along when I was losing my way
You touched my heart and now I'm ready to say
That all your sweetness calling back ugly skies
And now I've fallen for the look in your eyes
I couldn't ask for more
You're what I'm looking for
Oh
You, you make my life much bright, baby
You're always on my mind
Don't you know you, you make my load much light, baby
True love is ours to find
Sometimes I feel I have to get away
I change my mind when I look in your eyes
And when those clouds come in to darken our day
You're never going to hear me say good-bye
I couldn't ask for more
You're what I'm looking for
Oh
You, you make my life much bright, baby
You're always on my mind
Don't you know you, you make my load much light, baby
True love is ours to find
You, you make my life much bright, baby
You're always on my mind
Don't you know you, you make my load much light, baby
True love is ours to find
Uh, ow, uh, ow
Uh, ow, uh, ow
Tainted love
Oh
You, you make my life much bright, baby
You're always on my mind
Don't you know you, you make my load much light, baby
True love is ours to find
You, you make my life much bright, baby
You're always on my mind
Don't you know you, you make my load much light, baby
True love is ours to find

A Cinema In Buenos Aires, 26 July 1952 lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[Julieta:] Carlos.
[Carlos:] Julieta, mi querida Julieta.
[Julieta:] Carlos, no tendrias que haber venido.
[Carlos:] Julieta, ni un millar de soldados me puede detener.
[Julieta:] Pero es peligroso, mi padre te arrestara.
[Carlos:] Tenia que venir.
[Julieta:] ¿Carlos?
[Carlos:] Hasta este momento, mis labios no han osado murmurar la palabra amor.
[Julieta:] Carlos.
[Carlos:]
Y mucho mas que eso, mi ser todo vibra de deseo. ¿Que fue eso? Algo se movio en el balcon de tu padre. Si fuera ese truhan de Rodolfo, juro que mi espada no permanecera en su vaina.
[Julieta:] ¿Carlos, ten cuidado? Te quiero, Carlos, te quiero.
[Suddenly the film grinds to a halt.]
[The people in the cinema begin to protest but are silenced by an announcement.]
[The Voice of the Secretary of the Press:]
It is my sad duty to inform you that Eva Peron, spiritual leader of the nation, entered immortality at 8:25 this evening.
Requiem For Evita lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[Crowd:]
Requiem aeternum dona Evita
Requiem aeternum dona Evita
Requiem Evita, Requiem Evita
Evita, Evita, Evita, Evita
Grant eternal rest to Evita
Grant eternal rest to Evita
Rest to Evita, Rest to Evita
Evita, Evita, Evita, Evita
Requiem aeternum dona Evita
Requiem aeternum dona Evita

Oh What A Circus lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[Che:]
Oh what a circus, oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy
Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
Oh what an exit, that's how to go
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today
But who is this Santa Evita?
Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?
What kind of goddess has lived among us?
How will we ever get by without her?
She had her moments, she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years
[Crowd:]
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy
Our life, sweetness, and hope
Hail, hail, oh queen
To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve
To you we sigh, mourning and weeping
Oh clement, oh loving one
[Che:]
You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted, not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
And she's not coming back to you
Show business kept us all alive
Since seventeen October 1945
But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in
Instead of government we had a stage
Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage
Instead of help we were given a crowd
She didn't say much, but she said it loud
Sing you fools, but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead, your king is through
She's not coming back to you
[Crowd:]
Salve regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve regina Peron
Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
O clemens o pia
[Eva:]
Don't cry for me Argentina
For I am ordinary, unimportant
And undeserving of such attention
Unless we all are, I think we all are
So share my glory, so share my coffin
So share my glory, so share my coffin
[Che:]
It's our funeral too
On This Night Of A Thousand Stars lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[Che:]
Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage
You need if you're gonna succeed
No money, no cash
No father, no bright lights
There was nowhere she'd been
At the age of fifteen
As this tango singer found out
Agustin Magaldi
Who has the distinction of being the first
Man to be of use to Eva Duarte
[Magaldi:]
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays for evermore
In the glow of those twinkling lights
We shall love through eternity
On this night in a million nights
Fly away with me
I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this
But now I know that it can
I used to wander alone without a love of my own
I was a desperate man
But all my grief disappeared and all the sorrow I'd feared
Wasn't there anymore
On that magical day when you first came my way
Mi amor
On this night
On this night
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays for evermore
Eva And Magaldi / Eva Beware Of The City lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[Eva:]
To think that a man as famous as you are
Could love a poor little nothing like me
[Eva:]
I wanna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Eva's family:]
She wants to be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Che:]
Just listen to that
They're on to you Magaldi
I'd get out while you can
[Eva:]
It's happened at last
I'm starting to get started
I'm moving out with my man
[Magaldi:]
Now Eva don't get carried away
[Eva:]
Monotony past
Suburbia departed
Who could ever be fond
Of the back of beyond?
[Magaldi:]
Don't hear words that I didn't say
[Eva's family:]
What's that? You'd desert the girl you love?
[Magaldi:]
The girl I love?
What are you talking about?
[Eva's family:]
She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement
She gave you all she had, she wasn't in your contract
You must be quite relieved that no-one's told the papers so far
[Eva:]
I wanna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
Would I have done what I did
If I hadn't thought
If I hadn't known
We would stay together
[Eva's brother:]
Seems to me there's no point in resisting
She's made up her mind, you've no choice
Why don't you be the man who discovered her
You'll never be remembered for your voice
[Magaldi:]
The city can be paradise for those who have the cash
The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash
The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash
If you were rich or middle class ...
[Eva:]
Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!
My father's other family were middle class
And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral.
[Eva's brother:]
Do all your one-night stands give you this trouble?
[Magaldi:]
Eva, beware of the city
It's hungry and cold
Can't be controlled
It is mad
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
And those who are not become what they should not become
Changed, in short, they go bad.
[Eva:]
Bad is good for me
I'm bored, so clean, and so ignored
I've only been predictable, respectable
Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can't I?
I only want variety of society
[Eva:]
I wanna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Eva's family:]
She wants to be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Magaldi:]
Five years from now I shall come back
And finally say, "You have your way, come to town."
But you'll look at me with a foreigner's eyes
The magical city, a younger girl's city
A fantasy long since put down
[Eva:]
All you've done to me, was that a young girl's fantasy?
I played your city games alright, didn't I?
I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks
I tasted it last night, didn't I?
[Eva:]
I'm gonna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Eva and family:]
She's gonna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Magaldi:]
Eva, beware your ambition
It's hungry and cold
Can't be controlled
Will run wild
This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman
Not even a woman, not very much more than a child
And whatever you say
I'll not steal you away
Buenos Aires lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[Eva:]
What's new, Buenos Aires?
I'm new, I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me too
I get out here, Buenos Aires
Stand back, you oughta know what you gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality
Fill me up with your heat, with your noise
With your dirt, overdo me
Let me dance to your beat, make it loud
Let it hurt, run it through me.
Don't hold back, you are certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying
Hello, Buenos Aires
Get this, just look at me dressed up somewhere to go
We'll put on a show
Take me in at your flood, give me speed
Give me lights, set me humming
Shoot me up with your blood, wine me up
With your nights, watch me coming
All I want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing
Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because you oughta know what you gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality
And if ever I go too far
It's because of the things you are
Beautiful town, I love you
And if I need a moment's rest
Give your lover the very best
Real eiderdown and silence.
[Musical interlude]
You're a tramp, you're a treat
You will shine to the death, you are shoddy
But you're flesh, you are meat
You shall have every breath in my body
Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit, I'll find ways of paying
Rio de la Plata
Florida, Corrientes, Nueve de Julio
All I want to know
Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because you oughta know what you gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of star quality
Another Suitcase In Another Hall lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[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?
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Another suitcase in another hall
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Take your picture off 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
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Another suitcase in another hall
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Che:] Take your picture off another wall
[Eva:] Where am I going to?
[Che:] You'll get by, you always have before
[Eva:] Where am I going to?
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.
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Starlets:] Another suitcase in another hall
[Eva:] So what happens now?
[Starlets:] Take your picture off another wall
[Eva:] Where am I going to?
[Starlets:] You'll get by, you always have before
[Eva:] Where am I going to?
[Huevo:]
Don't ask anymore.
Goodnight And Thank You lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[Che:]
Goodnight and thank you Huevo
She is in every magazine
Been photographed, seen, she is known
We don't like to rush, but your case has been packed
If she's missed anything, you could give her a ring
But she won't always answer the phone
[Eva:]
Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies
But we have pretended enough
It's best that we both stop fooling ourselves
[Che:]
Which means ...
[Che and Eva:]
There is no one, no one at all
Never has been, and never will be a lover, male or female
Who hasn't an eye on, in fact they rely on
Tricks they can try on their partner
They're hoping their lover will help them or keep them
Support them, promote them
Don't blame them, you're the same
[Che:]
Goodnight and thank you Emilio
You've completed your task
What more can we ask of you now?
Please sign the book on the way out the door
And that will be all, if she needs you she'll call
But I don't think that's likely somehow
[Eva:]
Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies
But when we were hot, we were hot
I know you'll look back on the good times we've shared
[Che:]
Which means ...
[Che and Eva:]
There is no one, no one at all
Never has been, and never will be a lover, male or female
Who hasn't an eye on, in fact they rely on
Tricks they can try on their partner
They're hoping their lover will help them or keep them
Support them, promote them
Don't blame her, you're the same
[Eva:]
There is no soap, no soap like Zaz
No detergent, lotion, or oil with such power in the shower
It's the mother and father of luxury lather
The talk of the bath, the great ointment
One little frolic with new Zaz carbolic
You're scented, you'll be sent
[Che:]
Goodnight and thank you Senor Jabon
We are grateful you found her a spot on the sound radio
We'll think of you every time she's on the air
We'd love you to stay but you'd be in the way
So do up your trousers and go
[Eva:]
Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies
The decline into silence and doubt
Our passion was just too intense to survive
[Che:]
Which means ...
[Lovers:]
This is a club I should never have joined
Someone has made us look fools
Argentine men call the sexual shots
Someone has altered the rules
[Eva:]
Fame on the wireless as far as it goes
Is all very well but every girl knows
[Che:]
She needs a man she can monopolize
With fingers in dozens of different pies
[Lovers:]
Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies
The Lady's Got Potential lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[Che:]
In June of forty-three there was a military coup
Behind it was a gang called the G.O.U.
Who did not feel the need to be elected
They had themselves a party at the point of a gun
They were slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun
A bomb or two and very few objected
Yeah, just one shell and governments fall like flies, kapow, die
They stumble and fall, bye bye
Backs to the wall, aim high
We're having a ball
The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies
The lady's got potential, she was setting her sights
On making it in movies with her name in lights
The greatest social climber since Cinderella
OK, she couldn't act but she had the right friends
And we all know a career depends
On knowing the right fella to be stellar
Yeah, just one shell and governments lose their nerve, kapow, die
They stumble and fall, bye bye
Backs to the wall, aim high
We're having a ball
That's how we get the government we deserve
Now the man behind the President calling the shots
Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots
Was Colonel Juan Peron, would-be dictator
He began in the army out in Italy so
Saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row
I reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later
Yeah, just one blast and the tear gas falls like rain, kapow, die
They haven't a chance, bye bye
The terrorists advance
But one guy doesn't dirty his hands
Peron was biding time out in the slow lane
Yeah, suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan, kapow, die
They stumble and fall, bye bye
Keep away from the wall
But one guy was having a ball
The tragedy, a golden chance for Peron
He organized a concert with incredible flair
In aid of all the victims, such a grand affair
Politicians, actors, stars of every flavor
It was January twenty-second, 1944
A night to remember, yeah, that's for sure
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva
For that's the night that Peron first met Eva
Charity Concert / The Art Of The Possible lyrics - Madonna
(from "Evita" soundtrack)
[Magaldi:]
On this night
On this night
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays forever more
[Eva:] Magaldi
[Magaldi:] Eva Duarte
[Eva:] Your act hasn't changed much
[Magaldi:] Neither has yours
[Peron:]
I stand here as a servant of the people
As we come together for a marvelous cause
You've shown by your presence, your deeds and applause
What the people can do, true power is yours
Not the government's, unless it represents the people
[Che:]
One always picks the easy fight
One praises fools, one smothers light
One shifts from left to right
Politics, the art of the possible
