Words

Words
They cut like a knife
Cut into my life
I don't want to hear your

Words
They always attack
Please take them all back
If they're yours I don't want any more

You think you're so smart
You try to manipulate me
You try to humiliate
 with your words

You think you're so chic
You write me beautiful letters
You think you're so much better than me

But your actions speak louder than words
And they're only words unless they're true
Your actions speak louder than promises
You're inclined to make, and inclined to break

Words
They cut like a knife
Cut into my life
I don't want to hear your

Words
They always attack
Please take them all back
If they're yours I don't want any more

You think you're so shrewd
You tried to bring me low
You tried to gain control
 with your words

You think you're so sly
I caught you at your game
You will not bring me shame
 with your words

Too much blinding light
Your touch
I've grown tired of your

Words
A linguistic form that can meaningfully be spoken in isolation
Conversation
Expression
A promise
A sigh
In short, a lie
A message from heaven
A signal from hell
I give you my word -- I'll never tell
Language that is used in anger
Personal feelings signaling danger
A brief remark, an utterance
Information
Don't mince words, don't be evasive
Speak your mind, be persuasive
A pledge
A commitment
Communication
Words

  1. One of my favorite tracks from this album. Who am I kidding? I love ALL of the tracks from this album! Hey, have you heard of "The Rain Tapes"? I just read about them for the first time the other day and even heard some samples. Basically, they're *supposedly* leaked demos of Erotica album songs.

    1. Yeah, I heard about those. I think it was MadonnaTribe that did an interview with one of the producers of the album, and he said the Rain Tapes are the real deal! How cool we can hear the process of making such a great album!
