Holy Water / Vogue (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can give you everything that you want
(Bitch, get off my pole)
(Bitch, get off my pole)
You can't buy this at no luxury store
(Bitch, get off my pole)
(Bitch, get off my pole)

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a place you gotta go
Before I let you take it all
It's like a drug, it should be illegal
Baby, you should get down low
And drink my precious alcohol
You look so thirsty, I think you need it

[Chorus]
Kiss it better, kiss it better
Don't it taste like holy water?
Make it wetter, make it wetter
Don't it taste like holy water?
Kiss it better, make it wetter
Don't it taste like holy water?
Kiss it better, kiss it better

[Verse 2]
I can teach you all the things you don't know
(Bitch, get off my pole)
(Bitch, get off my pole)
It's rare like mink, it's something you wanna own
(Bitch, get off my pole)
(Bitch, get off my pole)
[Pre-Chorus]
There's something you gotta hit
It's sacred and immaculate
I can let you in heaven's door
I promise you it's not a sin
Find salvation deep within
We can do it here on the floor

[Chorus]
Kiss it better, kiss it better
Don't it taste like holy water?
Make it wetter, make it wetter
Don't it taste like holy water?
Kiss it better, make it wetter
Don't it taste like holy water?
Kiss it better, kiss it better

[Bridge]
Don't it taste like holy water, like holy water?
Don't it taste like holy water?
Bless yourself and genuflect
Don't it taste like holy water, like holy water?
Don't it taste like holy water?
If you like it, please confess

Don't it taste like holy water, like holy water?
Don't it taste like holy water?
Bless yourself and genuflect
Don't it taste like holy water, like holy water?
Don't it taste like holy water?
Yeezus loves my pussy best
[Interlude]
Ladies with an attitude
Don't just stand there
Don't-don't, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothin' to it
(What are you looking at?)
Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music (Move to the music)
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow (Go with the flow)
You know you can do it
Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music (Move to the music)
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow (Go with the flow)
You know you can do it

[Verse 3]
Greta Garbo, and Monroe
Dietrich and DiMaggio
Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean
On the cover of a magazine
Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean
Picture of a beauty queen
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
Ginger Rodgers, dance on air
They had style, they had grace
Rita Hayworth gave good face
Lauren, Katherine, Lana too
Bette Davis, we love you
Ladies with an attitude
Fellows that were in the mood
Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it
[Bridge]
(Don't it taste like holy water?)
(Sacred and immaculate)
(Don't it taste like holy water?)
(Bless yourself and genuflect)

[Chorus]
Kiss it better, kiss it better
Make it wetter, make it wetter
Kiss it better, make it wetter
Kiss it better, kiss it better

Don't it taste like holy water, like holy water?
Do-don't it taste like holy water?
Bless yourself and genuflect
Don't it taste like holy water, like holy water?
Do-don't it taste like holy water?
Yeezus loves my pussy best

Don't it taste like holy water, like holy water?
Do-don't it taste like holy water?
Bless yourself and genuflect
Don't it taste like holy water, like holy water?
Do-don't it taste like holy water?

[Outro]
Bless yourself and genuflect
Yeezus loves my pussy best

Genius Annotation

“Holy Water” was included on the set list of Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour (2015–2016) as part of the first segment. For the performance, her dancers were dressed as nuns in hot pants, bikini tops and high-heeled boots, and it also features “grinding, lingerie and priests”. During the middle of the performance, Madonna “gyrate[s] alongside pole-dancing”, straddling and writhing a dancer dressed as a nun. She also performed parts of “Vogue” (1990) near the end of the performance.
For the finale, Madonna reenacted the Last Supper and portrayed an orgy onstage with the dancers, one of them dressed as Jesus Christ.
