1. ~Survival~
~Madonna and Dallas Austin~
~~~~~~~~~~
I'll never be an angel
I'll never be a saint it's true
I'm too busy surviving
Whether it's heaven or hell
I'm gonna be living to tell so
Here's my story
No risk no glory
A little up and down and all around
It's all about survival
I'll never be an angel
I'll never be a saint it's true
I'm too busy surviving
Whether it's heaven or hell
I'm gonna be living to tell so
Here's my question
Does your criticism
Have you caught up in what you cannot see
Well if you give me respect
Then you'll know what to expect
A little up and down and all around
It's all about survival
Up and down and all around
It's all about survival
I'll never be an angel
I'll never be a saint it's true
I'm too busy surviving
Whether it's heaven or hell
I'm gonna be living to tell
Here's my story
No risk no glory
A little up and down and all around
It's all about survival
Up and down and all around
It's all about survival
Up and down and all around
It's all about survival
Up and down and all around
It's all about survival
Up and down and all around
I'll never be an angel

2. ~Secret~
~Madonna and Dallas Austin~
~~~~~~~~~~
Things haven't been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never ever ever gonna let it go
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your
Secret with me
Something's comin' over
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret
You gave me back the paradise
That I thought I lost for good
You helped me find the reasons why
It took me by surprise that you understood
You knew all along
What I never wanted to say
Until I learned to love myself
I was never ever lovin' anybody else
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your
Secret with me
Something's comin' over
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your
Secret with me
Something's comin' over
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over
Mmm~mmm something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret
Mmm~mmm my baby's got a secret
Mmm~mmm my baby's got a secret
Mmm~mmm my baby's got a secret for me
Mmm~mmm mmm~mmm mmm~mmm

5. ~Inside Of Me~
~Madonna, Dave Hall, and Hooper~
~~~~~~~~~~
I can't stop thinking of you
The things we used to do
The secrets we once shared
I'll always find them there
In my memories
But this heartache isn't going
anywhere
In the public eye I act like I don't care
When there's no one watching me
I'm crying
I will always have you
Inside of me
Even though you're gone
Love still carries on
Love
Inside of me
I keep a picture of you
Next to my bed at night
And when I wake up scared
I know I'll find you there
Watching over me
When my world seems to crumble all
around
And foolish people try to bring me down
I just think of your smiling face and
I'm flying
I will always have you
Inside of me
Even though you're gone
Love still carries on
Love
Inside of me
You'll always be
Inside of my heart
Inside of me
When my world seems to crumble all
around
And foolish people try to bring me down
I just think of your smiling face and
I'm flying
I will always have you
Inside of me
Even though you're gone
Love still carries on
Love
Inside of me
I will always have you
Inside of me
Even though you're gone
Love still carries on
Love
Still carries on
I will always feel you
You'll always be
Inside of my heart
I'll always have you
Inside of me
I will always have you

6. ~Human Nature~
~Madonna, Dave Hall, S.
McKenzie, K. McKenzie, and M. Deering~
~~~~~~~~~~
Express yourself don't repress
yourself
Express yourself don't repress yourself
Express yourself don't repress yourself
Express yourself don't repress yourself
And I'm not sorry~~I'm not sorry~
It's human nature~~it's human nature~
And I'm not sorry~~I'm not sorry~
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me~~it's human nature~
You wouldn't let me say the words I
longed to say
You didn't want to see life through my eyes
You tried to shove me back inside your
Narrow room
And silence me with bitterness and lies
Did I say something wrong
Oops I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex~~I musta been crazy~
Did I stay too long
Oops I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind~~What was I thinking~
And I'm not sorry~~I'm not sorry~
It's human nature~~it's human nature~
And I'm not sorry~~I'm not sorry~
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me~~it's human nature~
You punished me for telling you my
fantasies
I'm breakin' all the rules I didn't make
You took my words and made a trap for silly fools
You held me down and tried to make me break
Did I say something true
Oops I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex~~I musta been crazy~
Did I have a point of view
Oops I didn't know I couldn't talk about you~~What was I thinking~
And I'm not sorry~~I'm not sorry~
It's human nature~~it's human nature~
And I'm not sorry~~I'm not sorry~
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me~~it's human nature~
Express yourself don't repress
yourself
Express yourself don't repress yourself
Express yourself don't repress yourself
Express yourself don't repress
yourself
Express yourself don't repress yourself
Express yourself don't repress yourself
Did I say something true
Oops I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex~~I musta been crazy~
Did I have a point of view
Oops I didn't know I couldn't talk about you~~What was I thinking~
And I'm not sorry~~I'm not sorry~
It's human nature~~it's human nature~
And I'm not sorry~~I'm not sorry~
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me~~it's human nature~

7. ~Forbidden Love~
~Babyface and Madonna~
~~~~~~~~~~
I don't
Don't care if it's not right
To have your arms around me
I want
To feel what it's like
Take all of you inside of me
In your eyes
Forbidden love
In your smile
Forbidden love
In your kiss
Forbidden love
If I had one wish love would feel like this
I know
That you're no good for me
That's why I feel I must confess
What's wrong
Is why it feels so right
I want to feel your sweet caress
In your eyes
Forbidden love
In your smile
Forbidden love
In your kiss
Forbidden love
If I had one wish love would feel like this
If I only had one wish
Love would always feel like this
Wishin on the stars above
Forbidden love
If I only had one dream
This would be more than it seems
Forbidden love
Rejection
Is the greatest aphrodisiac
In your eyes
Forbidden love
In your smile
Forbidden love
In your kiss
Forbidden love
If I had one wish love would feel like this
In your eyes
Forbidden love
In your smile
Forbidden love
In your kiss
Forbidden love
If I had one wish love would feel like this
Love should always feel like this
Heaven forgive me never forbid me
Love should always feel like this

8. ~Love Tried To Welcome Me~
~Madonna and Dave Hall~
~~~~~~~~~~
These are my hands
But what can they give me
These are my eyes
But they cannot see
These are my arms
But they don't know tenderness
And I must confess
That I am usually drawn to sadness
And loneliness has never been a stranger
To me but
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in
These are my lips
But they whisper sorrow
This is my voice
But it's telling lies
I know how to laugh
But I don't know happiness
And I must confess
Instead of spring it's always winter
And my heart has always been
A lonely hunter but still
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
I was covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Love tried to break me
And I must confess
Instead of spring it's always winter
And my heart has always been
A lonely hunter but still
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
I was guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Love tried to break me
But my soul drew back
Covered with dust covered with sorrow
Guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in

9. ~Sanctuary~
~Madonna, Dallas Austin, Anne
Preven, Scott Cutler, Herbie Hancock~
~~~~~~~~~~
Surely whoever speaks to me in the
right voice
Him or her I shall follow
Who needs the sun
When the rain's so full of life
Who needs the sky
It's here in your arms
I want to be buried
You are
My sanctuary
Who needs the sun
When the rain's so full of life
Who needs the sky
When the ground's open wide
It's here in your arms
I want to be buried
You are
My sanctuary
Who needs a smile
When a tear's so full of love
Who needs a home
With the stars up above
It's here in your heart
I want to be carried
You are
My sanctuary
Who needs the light
With the darkness in your eyes
Who needs to sleep
With the stars in the sky
It's here in your soul
I want to be married
You are
My sanctuary
And the earth was void and empty
And darkness was upon the face of the earth
Is all of this pain so necessary
You
Are
My sanctuary
Surely whoever speaks to me in the
right voice
Him or her I shall follow
As the water follows the moon
Silently
Who needs the sun
With fluid steps
Who needs the sky
Around the globe
Who needs to sleep
I hear your voice
You are
My sanctuary
You are

10. ~Bedtime Story~
~Hooper, Bjork, and Marius
DeVries~
~~~~~~~~~~
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
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Words are useless
Especially 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
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
And inside
We're all still wet
Longing and yearning
How can I explain how I feel
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Traveling traveling
Traveling traveling
Traveling traveling~~in the arms of unconsciousness
And all that you've ever learned
Try to forget
I'll never explain again

11. ~Take A Bow~
~Babyface and Madonna~
~~~~~~~~~~
Take a bow
The night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Light are low
The curtains down
There's no one here
~There's no one here~there's no one in the crowd~
Say your lines
But do you feel them
Do you mean what you say
When there's no one around
Watching you watching me
One lonely star
~One lonely star you don't know who you are~
I've always been in love with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You took my love for granted why oh why
The show is over say good~bye
Say good~bye
Say good~bye
Make them laugh
It comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart
Hide behind your smile
All the world loves a clown
~Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown~
Wish you well
I cannot stay
You deserve an award
For the role that you played
No more masquerade
You're one lonely star
~One lonely star and you don't know who you are~
I've always been in love with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You took my love for granted why oh why
The show is over say good~bye
I've always been in love with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You took my love for granted why oh why
The show is over say good~bye
Say good~bye
Say good~bye
All the world is a stage
And everyone has their part
But how was I to know
Which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
~You'd break you'd break you'd break~
You'd break my heart
I've always been in love with you
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted why oh why
The show is over say good~bye
I've always been in love with you
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted why oh why
The show is over say good~bye
Say good~bye
Say good~bye
Say good~bye
