Madonna – Eva And Magaldi / Eva Beware Of The City
[Eva:]
To think that a man as famous as you are
Could love a poor little nothing like me
[Chorus:]
[Eva:]
I wanna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Eva's family:]
She wants to be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Che:]
Just listen to that, they’re on to you Magaldi
I’d get out while you can
[Eva:]
It’s happened at last, I’m starting to get started
I’m moving out with my man
[Magaldi:]
Now Eva don’t get carried away
[Eva:]
Monotony past, suburbia departed
Who could ever be fond of the back of beyond?
[Magaldi:]
Don’t hear words that I didn’t say
[Eva's family:]
What’s that? You’d desert the girl you love?
[Magaldi:]
The girl I love?
What are you talking about?
[Eva's family:]
She really brightened up your out-of-town engagement
She gave you all she had, she wasn’t in your contract
You must be quite relieved that noone’s told the papers, so far
[Eva:]
I wanna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
Would I have done what I did
If I hadn’t thought, if I hadn’t known
We would stay together
[Eva's brother:]
Seems to me there’s no point in resisting
She’s made up her mind, you’ve no choice
Why don’t you be the man who discovered her
You’ll never be remembered for your voice
[Magaldi:]
The city can be paradise for those who have the cash
The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash
The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash
If you were rich or middle class …
[Eva:]
Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!
My father’s other family were middle class
And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral.
[Eva's brother:]
Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?
[Magaldi:]
Eva beware of the city
It’s hungry and cold, can’t be controlled, it is mad
Those who are fools are swallowed up whole
And those who are not become what they should not become
Changed, in short, they go bad.
[Eva:]
Bad is good for me
I’m bored, so clean, and so ignored
I’ve only been predictable, respectable
Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can’t I?
I only want variety, of society
[chorus]
[Magaldi:]
Five years from now I shall come back
And finally say, “You have your way, come to town.”
But you’ll look at me with a foreigner’s eyes
The magical city, a younger girl’s city
A fantasy long since put down
[Eva:]
All you’ve done to me, was that a young girl’s fantasy?
I played your city games alright, didn’t I?
I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks
I tasted it last night, didn’t I?
I’m gonna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Eva and family:]
She’s gonna be a part of B.A.
Buenos Aires, Big Apple
[Magaldi:]
Eva beware your ambition
It’s hungry and cold, can’t be controlled, will run wild
This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman
Not even a woman, not very much more than a child
And whatever you say, I’ll not steal you away

Madonna – Eva’s Final Broadcast
[Eva:]
The actress hasn’t learned the lines you’d like to hear
She’s sad for her country, sad to be defeated
By her own weak body
[Crowds:]
(Evita! Evita!) [repeat in background]
I want to tell the people of Argentina
I’ve decided I should decline
All the honors and titles you’ve pressed me to take
For I’m contented
Let me simply go on as the woman who brings her people
To the heart of Peron
Don’t cry for me Argentina
The truth is I shall not leave you
Though it may get harder for you to see me
I’m Argentina, and always will be
Have I said too much?
There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

Madonna – Erotica
Erotica, romance [repeat]
My name is Dita
I’ll be your mistress tonight
I’d like to put you in a trance
If I take you from behind
Push myself into your mind
When you least expect it
Will you try and reject it
If I’m in charge and I treat you like a child
Will you let yourself go wild
Let my mouth go where it wants to
Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have my way
I’ll give you love, I’ll hit you like a truck
I’ll give you love, I’ll teach you how to …
I’d like to put you in a trance, all over
Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body [repeat twice]
Erotic, erotic
Once you put your hand in the flame
You can never be the same
There’s a certain satisfaction
In a little bit of pain
I can see you understand
I can tell that you’re the same
If you’re afraid, well rise above
I only hurt the ones I love
Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have my way
I’ll give you love, I’ll hit you like a truck
I’ll give you love, I’ll teach you how to …
I’d like to put you in a trance, all over
Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body [repeat twice]
Erotic, erotic
Erotica, romance
I’d like to put you in a trance
Erotica, romance
Put your hands all over my body
I don’t think you know what pain is
I don’t think you’ve gone that way
I could bring you so much pleasure
I’ll come to you when you say
I know you want me
I’m not gonna hurt you
I’m not gonna hurt you, just close your eyes
Erotic, erotic [repeat several times]
Put your hands all over my body
All over me, all over me
Erotica, (give it up, give it up) romance
I’d like to put you in a trance
Erotica, (give it up, give it up) romance
I like to do a different kind of
Erotica, (give it up, give it up) romance
I’d like to put you in a trance
Erotica, romance
Put your hands all over my body
Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better
Only the one that inflicts pain can take it away
Eroti – ca
