Countdown to Madonna Song of the Day - Till Death Do Us Part



Here's another great, great Madonna song that many of you may not know. It's from her phenomenal 1989 album, "Like a Prayer," and it's a sad reflection on Madonna's real-life marriage to actor Sean Penn. In a lot of ways it kind of reminds me of my former life with Joe...ahh, a lifetime ago!

The video I chose to use here is a pretty cool spin on the song, using clips from their 1986 movie, "Shanghai Surprise," which Madonna looks great in. There's dialogue at the beginning, so if you just want to hear the song, push it up to about 50 seconds in and you'll catch it from the beginning.



Till Death Do Us Part - Like a Prayer



Till Death Do Us Part

Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't, if you don't
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't
'Cause you don't love me no more

You need so much but not from me
Turn your back in my hour of need
Something's wrong but you pretend you don't see
I think I interrupt your life
When you laugh it cuts me just like a knife
I'm not your friend, I'm just your little wife

[chorus]

They never laugh, not like before
She takes the keys, he breaks the door
She cannot stay here anymore
He's not in love with her anymore

The bruises they will fade away
You hit so hard with the things you say
I will not stay to watch your hate as it grows
You're not in love with someone else
You don't even love yourself
Still I wish you'd ask me not to go

[chorus]

He takes a drink, she goes inside
He starts to scream, the vases fly
He wishes that she wouldn't cry
He's not in move with her anymore

He makes demands, she draws the line
He starts the fight, she starts the lie
But what is truth when something dies
He's not in love with her anymore

You're not in love with someone else
You don't even love yourself
Still I wish you'd ask me not to go

[chorus]

She's had enough, she says the end
But she'll come back, she knows it then
A chance to start it all again
Till death do us part
