Madonna - Waiting Lyrics






Well, I know from experience
That if you have to ask for something more than once or twice
It wasn't yours in the first place
And that's hard to accept when you love someone
And you're led to believe in their moment of need
That they want what you want but they don't

[Bridge:]

Don't go breaking my heart like you said you would
Baby, you're no good
And you hurt me like no other lover ever could
Don't go making me cry
You're gonna say goodbye
Baby, tell me why
Tell me why or you're gonna have to justify this

[Chorus (substituting "This" for "I'm" in 2nd line):]

Waiting for you
I'm waiting
Can't you see I'm waiting for you
Don't break my heart

[repeat chorus]

It was so easy in the beginning
When you didn't feel like running from your feelings like you are now
What happened? What do I remind you of?
Your past, your dreams
Or some part of yourself that you just can't love?
I wish I could believe you
Or at least have the courage to leave you

Life has taught me that love with a man like you
Is only gonna make me blue
But I love you anyway no matter what you do
You don't come around here like you did before
When you did adore
Tell me what I did to deserve this

[chorus]
[chorus, substituting "Just" for "I'm" in 2nd line]

[Intermediate:]

Finally I see a different man
Only love can hurt like this can
Finally I see a different face
Tell me who is going to take my place

[bridge]

I knew it from the start that you would desert me
You're gonna break my heart
Baby, please don't hurt me
[repeat]

[intermediate]

[chorus, repeat]

I knew it from the start that you would desert me
You're gonna break my heart
Baby, please don't hurt me
[repeat]

[chorus]

Break my heart
Don't break my heart
[repeat twice]

Break my heart
You broke my heart [repeat twice]

Uh, next time you want pussy, huh
Just look in the mirror baby

    Love to Listen to this Album...back in the ninetees..just great

  21. s.... ....

    Erotica is one of the best Madonna albums that she has created. It contains music from every genre (R&B, pop, jazz, disco, reggae, and spoken word/hip hop). This is a true work of art!!!!

  22. A.... ....

    The bass in this album is fantastic!

  23. E.... D....

    Madonna love hun love the words it so true love u hun xxxx

  24. P.... M....

    Just look in the mirror baby.

  34. L.... ....

    I'm still waiting, Madonna. Swing by:)

  35. c.... ....

    I grew up with this lady lol lady but in my eyes she's always been a Rock Star! Always will be! One of my favorite Albums! Keep Rocking Madonna!💕

  36. r.... s....

    that piano break.....

  37. M.... R....

    You break my heart 🎶🎵🎶

  38. g.... i....

    erotico and jazz

  39. C.... M....

    Ray of Light caught my eye but American Life made me a fan. MDNA made me confused, but Erotica put me straight.

  40. L.... R....

    "Uh, next time you want pussy, huh
    ...Just look in the mirror baby
    " - such a great line!!!

  41. 1.... J....

    Every song on erotica should have been a single
    A visual album for sure
    Sad that did not happen

    1.... J....

    Everyone was against her around this time because of the SEX book

  42. j.... r....

    Each time you break my heart......

  43. F.... ....

    The groan at 4:05 it's so epic and sexy

  44. C.... A....

    2018 😍

  45. V.... B....

    This song is amazing. You listen to Erotica and then Waiting...Where Life Begins and Waiting are my favourite songs on this album. And Bad Girl.

  46. A.... M....

    One of my favourite classic
    Fantastic lyrics Madonna a true legend

  47. �.... ....

    Love this shit💙😍

  48. E.... H....

    Wow I'd forgotten how good this album is - I agree, I think it's her best. All the songs seem connected as if they are telling a coherent story and yet they are all so different. My favourite is this one.

  49. B.... S....

    The best album, et oui Madonna en avance sur son temps avec cette album sensuelle, sexuelle avec une interprétation hors paire. Plus aucun artiste ne propose des expériences musicales comme celle là et bien plus, bien plus qu'une simple chanteuse une véritable artiste et interprète.

  50. O.... H....

    This song ok from her madonna

  51. A.... O....

    love this smoky piano bar underrated classic!!!

  52. L.... B....

    This is, really helping me out right now.

  53. j.... w....

    use one of the three million fucking you on pornhub

  54. c.... ....

    Here kitty kitty kitty

  55. A.... T....

    It's not sexy the correct word is sensual

    Coz madonna is the one who is sexy and her song is sensual
    And the music is so horny

    A.... T....

    The only things that can be horny are sentient beings. Being horny is a biological state. Music can not be horny.

  56. J.... L....

    masterpiece of an album

  57. J.... L....

  62. E.... /....

  63. J.... H....

    Salir huyendo de Cancún, lleno de aventuras, sexo y dinero.

    F.... ....

    FRANCRUB jaja me dio risa tu comentario xd

  66. M.... A....

    music cought my eye but erotica made me a fan

    M.... A....

    I remember clearly the day i asked my father if he would buy me a cd.. he just said yes but didn't know wich album i was interested in. I hesitated to pick it up and show him that i wanted THAT album with THAT name on it, but anyway i said i didn't cared what he thought of me and we got to the cashier he looked at me strangely weird when he read the title "EROTICA" on it. One of the greatest investments he ever did for me! haha!

    M.... A....

    LOL... Awkward Scene :D

    M.... A....

    very awkward

    M.... A....

    gobregon2011 it happened to me. I was so young my first CD. I will never forget how shocking it was. How repressed our society still was and is.

  67. c.... e....

    That's my jam till this day 2016 #madonna

  68. M.... L....

    finally isee a different woman

  69. d.... b....

    This is so good it's mind boggling. When she had the world by the tail and outstanding writers/producers.

    d.... b....

    +jake b she wrote and co-wrote most of her songs

    d.... b....

    +Princess Auguste (Princess Auguste) And co-produced. As Stuart Price stated: "You don't produce Madonna".

    d.... b....

    Madonna writes and co produces all her own music. She's a music genius for a reason

  70. a.... ....

    Erotica is Madonna's best album.

    a.... ....

    @Leonardo kenz like a prayer too

    a.... ....

    @malvip I think he meant "Rescue Me" The last track on the immaculate collection album. It is also one of my favorite Madonna songs.

    a.... ....

    Jeremy Ching yup, b-side to Keep It Together

    a.... ....

    100% agree!

  71. L.... G....

    Uh, next time you want pussy, huh
    Just look in the mirror baby.........................................

    L.... G....

    +Gabriella Patterson Yeah I'll look in the mirrior... Give myself a quick wink and smile and call up the next girl.

    L.... G....

    @Adelsi Perez That sounds about right.

  72. C.... ....

    Everything from the music, lyrics, and vocals are really sexy.  Good song.

    C.... ....

    Perfect critique!!

  73. v.... ....

    v.... ....

    v.... ....

    Yep! Her newer stuff is so...soulless. This right here is the real deal!

    v.... ....

    At the time , this was Madonna that wasn't 'the old Madonna'...;-)

    v.... ....

    Understandable

    v.... ....

    vampxx1 there’s a rumour going around that her next album might sound like bedtime stories and confessions on the dance floor

  74. n.... f....

    The queen of pop !!!!
    What do u expect ?????? Great, the best ever !!!!

  75. P.... ....

  81. i.... ....

    such an underrated song

    i.... ....

    Isn't underrated, is not commercial.

    i.... ....

    @JorgitoYokiro yep...and is not a single

    i.... ....

    Underrated?? Really?? Well....yes for 1992 yes

    i.... ....

    @JorgitoYokiro , Commercial meaning what? It is not hip-hop or rap?

    i.... ....

    @Mark Anthony Fuentes , Many of us aren't trendy brainwashed cunts who think just because it is old, it is bad. This song has a lot of jazz influence, beautiful synthetic strings, poetry. I wish people were specific when they say it is not commercial.

  82. G.... R....

    Next time you want pussy look in the mirror baby. . .

    G.... R....

    Genoveva Rossi that was smooth af too😏

  83. l.... ....

    you'd love her to peg you. don't lie.

    Bet she loves anal

    g.... p....
