Bewildering Balderdash

Rescue Me by Madonna


I'm talking, I'm talking
I believe in the power of love
I'm singing, I'm singing
I believe that you can rescue me

With you I'm not a little girl
With you I'm not a man
When all the hurt inside of me
Comes out, you understand
you see that I'm ferocious
you see that I am weak
You see that I am silly
And pretentious and a freak
But I don't feel too strange for you
Don't know exactly what you do
I think when love is pure you try
To understand the reasons why
And I prefer this mystery
It cancels out my misery
And gives me hope that there could be
A person that loves me

Chorus
Rescue me/your love has given me hope
Rescue me/I'm drowning
Baby throw out your rope

With you I'm not a fascist
Can't play you like a toy
And when I need to dominate
You're not my little boy
You see that I am hungry
For a life of understanding
And you forgive my angry little heart
When she's demanding
You bring me to my knees
While I'm scratching out the eyes
Of a world I want to conquer
And deliver and despise
And right while I am standing there
I suddenly begin to care
And understand that there could be
A person that loves me

Chorus

Love is understanding-it's hard to believe
Life can be so demanding
I'm sending out an S.O.S.
Stop me from drowning
Baby I'll do the rest

Chorus

Ooh ahh love is understanding
Ooh ahh love is understanding

Love is understanding-it's hard to believe
Life can be so demanding
I'm sending out an S.O.S.
Rescue me, rescue me

It's not my business to decide
How good you are for me
How valuable you are
And what the world can see
Only that you try to understand me
And have the courage
To love me for me

I believe in the power
I believe that you can rescue me
