Burning Up / Ray of Light Lyrics
[Burning Up]
Don't put me off because 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
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, oh
Don't put me off because 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
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, 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
(Solo)
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
For your love
I'm burning up!
[Ray of Light]
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as on
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
(Solo)
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
Ooh, yeah - I'm burning up
For your love
I'm burning up!
[Ray of Light]
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as on
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
You make me feel shiny and new, like a virgin, touched for the very first time!
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
You make me feel shiny and new, like a virgin, touched for the very first time!
About
Genius Annotation
The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame is well-known for neglecting respected rock acts for as long as possible, even inducting people from out of that genre first. So when Madonna was to enter the hall in 2008, she decided to remind them of another Michigan act that deserved to be there too: The Stooges, who were brought to perform punk versions of Madonna’s first single and the later hit “Ray of Light”. It worked, as Iggy Pop and his cronies managed to join the ranks the next year.
