Something in the way you love me won't let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner, so baby, won't you set me free
Stop playing with my heart
Finish what you start
When you make my love come down
If you want me, let me know
Baby, let it show
Honey, don't you fool around

Just try to understand (understand)
I've given all I can
'Cause you got the best of me

Borderline
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Borderline
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline
(Borderline)

Keep on pushing me, baby
Don't you know you drive me crazy
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me
When you hold me in your arms, you love me 'til I just can't see
But then you let me down, when I look around
Baby, you just can't be found
Stop driving me away, I just want to stay
There's something I just got to say

Just try to understand (understand)
I've given all I can
'Cause you got the best of me

Borderline
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Borderline
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline
(Borderline)

Keep on pushing me baby
Don't you know you drive me crazy
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Look what your love has done to me
Come on baby, set me free
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline
(Borderline)
You cause me so much pain, I think I'm going insane
What does it take to make you see?
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Keep pushing me baby
Keep pushing me baby
Keep pushing my love

Come on baby
Come on darling, yeah

    First off, I agreed with what Moogie wrote about Borderline. Borderline is the lady's first sad song-it has a theme that became an undercurrent of Madonna's music-that of romantic deception, mistrust and unrequited love-a relationship that is unfortunately spinning and tumbling out of control. Madonna will never be satisfied with any man in her life-just ask Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie. When Lady Madonna sadly cries "Something in the way you love won't let me be!...You just keep on pushing my love over the Borderline!"-she is about to go into a screaming rage! When I saw the CD/DVD combo of the Sticky and Sweet Tour on the screen-her best performance ever I might add with loud guitar rocking in her hands, Madonna indeed Justified Her-and Our Love and immortalized her validation at the Rock
