Boy George - To Be Reborn Lyrics






Get off your knees
Don't apologise
Cause I ain't got no time
For no more lies
You know the answer
I gave it to you
But you carry on
With the things that you do
Yes I have tried
I could live
I could die
I could be reborn - in your arms
I, I could laugh
I could cry
I could sigh if you're there
Keep me warm
Talk to me
Open your eyes
Talk to me
Loose the disguise
We had good love
Most of the time
Give it back
That love is mine
Give it back
Just one more time
I know the answer
What can we do
I know the answer
So do you
I gave you love
I gave it to you
I gave you love - something new
I gave you love

Boy George To Be Reborn Comments
  1. P.... P....

    C'était mes 15 ans, ma 1ère histoire d'amour...

  2. L.... V....

    Boy George and Marilyn Manson should write a song together. That I would love to hear.

  3. A.... J....

    The video looks like Madonna's "this used to be my play ground"

  4. M.... N....

    Love it

  5. m.... ....

    The video had more definition, or i´m mistaken?!

  6. E.... L....

    Yes this is a master Peace

  7. L.... O....

    Madonna??? 😂😂😂

  8. D.... T....

    INDIMENTICABILE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. J.... E....

    Madonna copyied unashamedly this amazing video when she came up with her «This used to be my playground» song. The track itself sounds like a bad take on «Mistake Number Three» from the 1984 Culture Club Album «Waking Up With The House On Fire». I love Madonna, but Boy George did it first and way better. He always did babe...

  10. C.... c....

    One of my favorite songs

  11. G.... ....

    This song tugs at your heart strings every single time. Boy George is a musical genius. Will always love him 😘

  12. K.... S....

    Love love love

  13. L.... m....

    Adoro Boy George ❤❤

  14. R.... G....

    One of my fave solo songs of Boy George

  15. T.... F....

    A great singer and defender of human rights

  16. L.... N....

    so this is where Madonna got her This Used To Be My Playground idea....

    L.... N....

    I read in BG book, he called it,
    "Used to be my video." 😂😂😂

    L.... N....

    The video for "This Used to be My Playground" is an exact remake of this one. Wow

  17. P.... d....

    This used to be my video....Amazing ballad!!

  18. C.... D....

    questo video e straordinario..come sempre boy george n'1 nelle canzoni lente..

  19. s.... f....

    Meravigliosa canzone la dedico a te amore mio che era una vita che ti cercavo....adesso sei nel mio cuore....ti amo

  20. I.... P....

    That’s my dads hand believe it or not

  21. a.... T....

    All the retards calling Madonna a thief needed to shut their ill informed yaps! Its the same guy who directed both! And she was a fan of his work WITH George and she is also a fan of Georges work! Despite his drug fuelled rants at Madonna over the years she has nothing but praise for him. In 1992 she stated his Martyr Mantras were a great source of comfort to her going through tough times....

  22. s.... ....

    My absolute FAVORITE Boy George masterpiece. I love this song so much I can't stand it.

  23. e.... b....

    This kind of music for adult contemporary and more in radio BUENA MUSICA FM buenamusicafm.com WITHOUT ADVICES, ONLY MUSIC 24/7

  24. T.... B....

    Best song he ever sung

  25. M.... M....

    😢😢😢😢 best time oufff the world is changing why???

  26. s.... b....

    Iv'e been trying to rememeber the name of this track,i have not heard this since it was released, many years ago............

    s.... b....

    FOR MY ONE TRUE LOVE TAMMY E14 XXX

  27. C.... H....

    That Madonna did not know about the existence of this video? Yes, sure. Madonna fan of Boy George. I like the two singers, but this is a vile blackmail from Madonna. Love You Boy G. ♥

  28. J.... C....

    Wonderful...

  29. A.... ....

    A visual work of art and, concerning the year it was made, an esthetic masterpiece ahead of its time!

  30. R.... G....

    hermoso hombre todo el exito en la voz autralia para mi es un ganador BOY GEORGE I LOVE YOU

  31. R.... A....

    It's a real shame Boy George's solo work doesn't get the attention it deserves, it's so beautiful and open and in many ways artistically surpasses Culture Club. Time for a reappraisal I'd say!

    R.... A....

    yes- Sold is very well done with lamont Dozie and this song that is am azing like also we've got the right and where are you now? etchhh ciao davxxx

    R.... A....

    Your right the culture club songs were dreadful apart from the okay song of karma chameleon

  32. L.... S....

    so. much. love. gotta. meet. him. please. been. sick. along. time. he. makes. me. happy

  33. T.... A....

    Absolutely brilliant song and video. Great to see George looking A-1 as usual in 2016. Sold was a rather eclectic yet great album. A lot of George's post Culture Club repertoire is brilliant. Culture Club were equally as great. I like George solo as well as with Culture Club.

    T.... A....

    props to george for doing this before Madonna (I'm sure he wasn't the first) but both song wise alone and theme of the video alone..Madonna's "This Used To Be My Playground" is better.

    T.... A....

    Madonna stole the idea after seeing this.

    T.... A....

    Yes and George renamed her song "This Used to Be My Video"!!

    T.... A....

    yes and so he should have!

    T.... A....

    @Ian Sane it was the director not Madonna. but Madonna's song being better song is what people remember

  34. O.... B....

    Get off your knees
    Don't apologise
    'Cause I ain't got no time
    For no more lies
    You know the answer
    I gave it to you
    But you carry on
    With the things that you do
    Yes I have tried

    I, I could live, I could die
    I could be reborn in your arms
    I, I could laugh, I could cry, I could sigh if you're there
    To keep me warm
    To keep me warm, warm, warm

    Talk to me
    Open your eyes
    Talk to me
    Lose the disguise
    We had good love
    Most of the time
    Give it back
    That love is mine
    Give it back
    Just one more time

    I, I could live, I could die
    I could be reborn in your arms
    I, I could laugh, I could cry, I could sigh if you're there
    To keep me warm
    To keep me warm, warm, warm

    I know the answer
    What can we do
    I know the answer, yeah
    So do you
    I gave you love
    I gave it to you
    I gave you love - something new
    I gave you love

    I, I could live, I could die
    I could be reborn in your arms
    I, I could laugh, I could cry, I could sigh if you're there
    To keep me warm
    To keep me warm, warm, warm

  35. M.... H....

    havent heard this song in nearly thirty years and i still know every word and inflection in georges voice ; burst into tears

  36. M.... S....

    love this one.

  37. D.... S....

    Listen to that voice, magnificent, Boy George is amazing.

  38. A.... F....

    Lovely song.

  39. g.... s....

    omg ...... he did this first ??????

    g.... s....

    Yes he did.

  40. J.... S....

    Madonnas song, melody, video, voice and lyrics are so much better than this.
    BTW the video was made for the director not Madonna. she Said I had no idea he had a video like this.

    J.... S....

    +Mario Silva Maddona has made some good music but she has stolen other musicians ideas. I think she's had her time and that she should have given up or changed direction 10 years ago. I think she takes herself too seriously and that her creativity and popularity is waning .

    J.... S....

    Mario Silva But the fact that she attacked gaga for born this way is hypocritical

    J.... S....

    Gaga stole much more from Madonna than just a song or a video.

    J.... S....

    I love Madonna but she can't sing, it's a fact and "this use to be my playground" is awful..... now "I want you" video and song were awesome

  41. P.... ....

    i am 74 yrs old and I believe this is one of the best of the best. I had this on a vinyl 33 many years ago

    P.... ....

    +Pat Binion dont put 33 years.seem so long lol

    P.... ....

    Pat Binion your so right this is my favourite song of all time

    P.... ....

    Pat Binion-that is a priceless treasure in your possession

    P.... ....

    45 rpm....the sound is magic and the voice , i try not to cry when i listen it

  42. t.... m....

    beautiful song and vid

  43. T.... B....

    To be reborn was the best song boy George ever sung luvs ya loads x x

  44. N.... F....

    Madonna even copied the song from 2:52 on it's sound very This used to be my playground I am blown away Madonna is a Ripoff Queen.

    N.... F....

    you like Marlyn manson which is a a rip off "queen" of Alice in Chains you're not blown away by that? BITCH PLEASE

  45. N.... F....

    Can't believe Madonna copied this, but it's here and she is even worse than I thought

    N.... F....

    @Nathan David Freiberger I remember when this came out I wrote to George saying he copied Madonna . Then newspapers titles: Boy George accuses Madonna of plagiarism:))). Love this song and vid.

    N.... F....

    Madonna had nothing to do with the concept of the video, it was Alex Keshishian who directed it and most definitely ripped off Boy George, i love that George referred to it as "This Used to Be My Video" lol i love him.

  46. C.... R....

    Thats my Boy!

  47. I.... A....

    ...MÁGICA....

  48. B.... ....

    BOY GEORGE released To be Reborn in 1987

    Madonna's ripoff video was released in 1992.

    Who copied who?

    B.... ....

    Yes - but I prefer other song

    B.... ....

    Maddonna copied the Boy is very simole and there to watch.-

    B.... ....

    Its the same director for both videos you idiot!

    B.... ....

    No it's actually the same director, better do your research.

  49. M.... D....

  50. q.... ....

    @daviej6666 hi and thanks -

  80. d.... ....

    @anthonynewsome ,couldn't have said it better myself,so true

  81. V.... H....

    After Elton: Speaking of Madonna, did u ever notice that Madonna’s 1992 “This Used 2 Be My Playground” video is stylistically almost identical 2 ur late 80’s “2 Be Reborn” video? Boy George: My video was directed by [fashion photographer n music video director] John-Baptiste Mondino, but Madonna’s was the 1 people remember. When it came out, I called it “This Used 2 Be My Video.”

    @GLAMPIXIE1234 1987 :)

  83. a.... ....

    this really is an amazing video - Madonna stole the idea for her This Used to B my Playground Vid - but George's is the first and the best - just 41,000 hits is very poor considering how fantastic a song it is - no wonder that youth culture today is so contrived/bland/conservative/uptight & homophobic -

  84. t.... ....

    a wonderful and beautiful song, thank you sir george

  85. d.... f....

    madonna so bit off this video. no wonder george slags off on her so much.

  86. r.... a....

    i love georges voice. no one can ever take his place, a wonderful man!!!

  87. n.... ....

    One of the most beautiful voice...

  88. D.... n....

    GREAT VIDEO.

  89. R.... T....

    @crispublicity2007

    Culture Club broke up my senior year--1986 (gasp!)--Boy actually admitted in a press conference that he and Jon had been having an affair--totally true, remember it well.

  90. T.... ....

    @Alanni91789

    I know EXACTLY what you mean +

    "Talk To me, Loose The Disguise"....

  91. 7.... ....

    his best and the best song ever written for unrequited love ,love it . al xx

  92. S.... b....

    When did CC breakup?

  93. T.... L....

    I STILL LOVE YOU GEORGE! ;-)

  94. J.... O....

    @SweetDreams1430 Regardless, "Madge" & George have been on-again-off-again friends. Interesting.

  95. T.... ....

    Extremely beautiful! Boy George's voice is a jewel: So sweet and mesmerizing!
    Excellent song! Thank You!

  96. P.... R....

    Beautiful. Does anyone know where you can get this video? (VHS/DVD)

  97. 7.... ....

  98. B.... D....
