LIVE TO TELL |
( Written by Madonna & Pat
Leonard ) |
|
I have a tale to tell |
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it
well |
I was not ready for the fall |
Too blind to see the writing on the
wall |
|
A man can tell a thousand lies |
I've learned my lesson well |
Hope I live to tell |
The secret I have learned |
'Til then |
It will burn inside of me |
|
I know where beauty lives |
I've seen it once, I know the warm
she gives |
The light that you could never see |
It shines inside you can't take that
from me |
|
A man can tell a thousand lies |
I've learned my lesson well |
Hope I live to tell |
The secret I have learned |
'Til then |
It will burn inside of me |
|
The truth is never far behind |
You've kept it hidden well |
If I live to tell |
The secret I knew then |
Will I ever have the chance again |
|
If I ran away |
I'd never have the strength |
To go very far |
How would they hear |
The beating of my heart |
Will it grow cold |
The secret that I hide |
Will I grow old |
How will they hear |
When will they learn |
How will they know |
|
A man can tell a thousand lies |
I've learned my lesson well |
Hope I live to tell |
The secret I have learned |
'Til then |
It will burn inside of me |
|
The truth is never far behind |
You've kept it hidden well |
If I live to tell |
The secret I knew then |
Will I ever have the chance again |
