Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground Lyrics
[Chorus (first time without background vocals):]
This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask
[Long and movie versions only:]
[chorus]
Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew
We were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire
Is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can't say goodbye to yesterday (can't say goodbye)
[chorus]
No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday (the dream)
Those are words I'll never say (I'll never say)
This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy
[Short and movie versions only:]
This used to be our playground (used to be)
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me
[Movie version only:]
This used to be our playground (used to be)
This used to be our great escape
This used to be the place we ran to
This used to be our secret hiding place
This used to be our playground (used to be)
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always free
Wishing you were here with me

Madonna This Used To Be My Playground Comments
Madonna, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Shakira y Alanis Morissette son las voces que reinaron en los 90's...!!!!
One of her best songs!
This song is for crying and your childhood comes to mind, the joy of the moments of the past and the memory of those who are no longer in the present.
I want this song to be played at my funeral
Why Does This Sound Like Shit. The Record Don't Sound Like This
This song is so delightfully depressing!
I do appreciate that Madonna's videos are so different from each other.
#cringe
First time hearing this tonight - very nice.

Im a huge Madonna fan,and this is the song getting played in my funeral.Such a beautiful song

Madonna should have at least 5 Best Song Oscars by now. The Academy failed big time!

Wishing' have a beer with me
I'm a 56 year old married man with a beautiful family. I've become successful in my field of work. I like racing, I like shooting my guns, and my favorite band is Rush. However, no matter what time of day...what day of the week...wherever I am...this song brings me to my knees! I have to struggle to compose myself when I play it at work. The song is so painful yet I cannot stop playing it. I cry like a baby when this song plays over the end credits of "A League of Their Own." Madonna has pried her way into my soul with this masterpiece. It makes me want to visit the baseball fields I played in as a youngster and drive through the parking lot of my elementary school. And, I'm melancholy, once again.
I listen to this song because of the past
This is for sure the most underrated #1 of all time.
🥺😢
Still an amazing song <3<3
I really grieve for my Grandparents 😢
Amo! 🥰🙏
i always liked this song.. too bad the bass screwed it up.
RIP TranceDNA
Muito Linda Essa Música Me Lembra 1992
Wow can't believe that Erotica comes next after this powerful ballad. Queen of Reinvention 💎
This has been always number 1 on my list!!! This song will always remember me of my mother that is gone. Thank you Madonna for making it Doolittle easier. I miss you mom. I love you
It's all about AGE. It happened exactly the same to any super star from the Golden Age yet Madonna was able to last much longer.... but she made one big mistake: at 50 she started following the trends, first Hard Candy then MDNA. Now lame Instagram, Skin Care and fake ass: WTF is that? I remember one reporter stating that 'Only Madonna could destroy Madonna' and he was absolutely right! The older version of herself completely destroyed her career, it's like some alien entity took over. Yes, the young Madonna would spit on the older version of herself, no doubt.
She lost her confidence when she turned 50. Her marriage fell apart and the cosmetic surgery became all too obvious, as if she thought, the more she did, the more youthful she would look, when in fact the opposite was true.
But her major mistake was leaving Warner Bros. She ended up with more control and a bigger percentage, but over the following decade, the returns diminished to such an extent, that even if she'd cut a poorer deal with WB than she'd ever had, she would have still been better off than the place she now finds herself in, unable to sell albums and concert tickets and (unhappily) playing theatre venues in limited markets. It's a sad and sorry chapter for an icon who, until 2008/9, was still at the heart of popular culture.
@Anon Nymous wrong

11th January 2020..... masterpiece song
Olimpíadas de Barcelona 1992
Hermosa balada de mi reina 👸🏼 !
One of her best .. in a better time.. 👌✌ TIP..INNOCENCE.
The song i play when i'm alone and cruising through my childhood st, where it was just me and the neighborhood kids used to roam with no worries before i move and they all moved. Now u can't even walk around without getting banged on or shot.
Perhaps her best interpretation. So sad, but at the same time incredibly beautifull. Remember when we used to have photo albums.......
An underrated truly Masterpiece.
Thank you Madonna for your wonderful songs. This one is a masterpiece!
In 2020?
2020 anyone??
Madonna make a ballade. Album
Back when she used to deliver beautiful songs and videos... Miss the younger and more focused on pop songs Madonna
great voice!!!!!!!
I remember muchmusic in canada played this the day after 9/11
She has sold more than 780 million albums????
esta canción es demasiado nostálgica..
Her most overlooked #1 song that I hope will appear on a Greatest Hits collection in the future.
The Emmy's are fucking snobs they always over look madonna cause she is a powerful woman and she will speak her mind and I will also say she does it in Male dominated vessel
I love this song it is decanted to my bio logical family
1992 what a year! Thought I married my dream girl that summer. Unfortunately it didn’t work out for us. She went her way and so did I. Once we got our divorce I never seen or heard from her again. It’s been close to 30 years. Hope she’s doing fine. Sending her my prayers and thoughts! This song is touching in so many ways.
I bet your ex is thinking of you too. :-)
