Madonna
Unveiling Life's Choices: A Fever Dolls' Reflection
Lyrics
You don’t have to say you love me
You are not obligated to express love verbally.
You don’t have to say you don’t
You are not obligated to deny your love verbally.
You don't have to say you want me but you're better alone
You may not declare your desire, but you seem happier on your own.
You don’t have to be a beggar
You don't need to be in a position of need or dependence.
You don’t have to be the boss
You don't need to be in control or authoritative.
You don’t have to stay together when the feeling is lost
You don't have to remain in a relationship when the emotional connection is gone.
You don’t have to be Madonna to sing me that song again
Being like Madonna is not required to evoke feelings through a song.
Cause I never thought I’d walk down the hall where you lived
Unexpectedly finding yourself in the space where someone important to you lived.
And hear you pleading come and take off the clothes you’re in
Hearing a plea to undress from the clothes one is currently wearing.
I never thought I’d have such a wonderful friend
Surprisingly having a wonderful friend in unexpected circumstances.
You don’t have to be from Memphis
Your origin or background doesn't define your worth.
You don’t have to be from Maine
Being from a particular place doesn't determine your value.
You don’t have to drive a Lexus or a woman insane
Material possessions or actions don't make you attractive or crazy.
You don’t have to run for mayor
You don't need a political role to be significant.
You don’t have to run from cops
You don't have to avoid legal trouble to be valuable.
You don’t have to run a fortune fiver straight to the top
You don't have to follow a conventional path to success.
You don’t have to be Madonna to sing me that song again
Being like Madonna isn't necessary to replay a meaningful song.
Cause I never thought I’d walk down the hall where you lived
Unexpectedly revisiting a place associated with someone significant.
And hear you pleading come and take off the clothes you’re in
Hearing a plea to undress again in a familiar setting.
I never thought I’d have such a wonderful friend
Having an unexpectedly wonderful friend in life.
You don’t have to be a sinner
You don't have to be morally perfect or flawed.
You don’t have to be a saint
You don't have to be exceptionally virtuous.
You don’t have to eat your dinner but you paid for the plate
You're not obligated to follow social norms like having dinner.
You don’t have to make a million
You don't have to amass a fortune to be valuable.
You don’t have to make a case
You don't need to argue or present a case for your worth.
You don’t have to make a villain of a lover replaced
You don't have to vilify a past lover to move on.
You don’t have to be Madonna to sing me that song again
Being like Madonna is not a prerequisite to emotionally impactful singing.
Cause I never thought I’d walk down the hall where you lived
Unexpectedly finding oneself in a place connected to someone important.
And hear you pleading come and take off the clothes you’re in
Hearing a plea to undress in a familiar environment.
I never thought I’d have such a wonderful friend
Having an unexpectedly wonderful friend in life.
