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
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

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 absolutely agreed with Moogie about Borderline-the first sad song by Madonna. Heartbreak, sadness and unrequited love would become key themes in Madonna's artwork. For her, love is an emotion full of sadness, rage and loss -Just ask Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie about it! Borderline is a sad Madonna tune about thwarted opportunities and unrequited love-an angry relationship spinning and tumbling madly out of control. I can hear the absolute rage in Madonna's sad voice on Borderline. When Lady Ciccone cries "Something in the way you love me won't let me be!...You just keep on pushing my love over the Borderline!"-she is about to go into a psychotic screaming rage! When I saw the CD/DVD combo of the Sticky and Sweet Tour, Our Lady's best performance ever with loud guitar rocking in her hands, Madonna felt rock
