Subject: Madonna's song about her mom

Written By: ilovemadonna on 12/23/02 at 02:21 p.m.

Promise To Try
written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard
Track 5, Time: 3:36
-------------------------
Little girl don't you forget her face
Laughing away your tears
When she was the one who felt all the pain

Little girl never forget her eyes
Keep them alive inside
I promise to try -- it's not the same

Keep your head held high -- ride like the wind
Never look behind, life isn't fair
That's what you said, so I try not to care

Little girl don't run away so fast
I think you forgot to kiss -- kiss her goodbye

Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall
Does she hear my voice in the night when I call
Wipe away all your tears, it's gonna be all right

I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew
I was afraid you'd go away, too

Little girl you've got to forget the past
And learn to forgive me
I promise to try -- but it feels like a lie

Don't let memory play games with your mind
She's a faded smile frozen in time
I'm still hanging on -- but I'm doing it wrong
Can't kiss her goodbye -- but I promise to try
:'(isn't that sad. Madonna's mom died when she was only 5 :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :( :(

what's your favorite madonna song(s)?????

Subject: Re: Madonna's song about her mom

Written By: Bobo on 12/25/02 at 00:38 a.m.

As I explained before, if I had the chance to choose, I'd probably pick a CD of 97-2002 over a CD of 83-97 exclusive (or whenever she started singing, I can't remember off hand). Single favourite track? I don't think I could, though Frozen was a cracker.

I got the earliest date of her starting out wrong. Therefore I had to modify to even out the dates over these 20 years to include the first decade worth of stuff, and then the second - and, I'm sure, the third, coming up.

I forgot about Evita, and I even have the soundtrack (no, I'm not gay :) ). If you think about who Evita was before she was married, you might find that Madonna is more suited than you thought at first. But I agree, a movie based on a popular Broadway drama/musical is not where most people expect to see Madonna.

Even the "early years" stuff? I also thought she sang/performed "Everybody" in Euro clubs as far back as 1982. That pre-dated the 1983 album, Madonna. She also did that brief stint as the drummer of The Breakfast Club...

I must admit I did like her earlier music, but from 1990 on she just flat out sucked, in my opinion.  I also didn't like how she conducted herself in the music videos...just too much sex being thrown my way, kinda like an old-school Aguilera...

Laserdiscs were invented in the late 70s, but about 1985 I think they had started making CDs...

So she had to suck a lot of d--k to be where she is. Media wh:Pre is nothing to be ashamed of. There's nothing wrong with that. Look at where she is now.  It obviously helped. Frankie Say Relax.

I agree RC. I loved Madonna in the 80's for her controversy and the cute bubbly music. After the 80's it does kind of go downhill. She tried so hard in the 90's to be shocking, when it just seemed to come naturally to her in the 80's.I think what puts me off of her is that she has reinvented herself so many times and so you wonder, who is she really? (Who's that girrllll..lol). This would not be necessary for a truly talented performer. Look at the Stones, and Aerosmith. Their images really haven't changed over the years and they are still putting music out there. And it isn't necessary for a female performer to reinvent herself to stay on top. Look at Aretha Franklin...as far as I know she is the same lady she has always been and is still the Queen. Just my opinion, of course...diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks. ;D

I agree RC. I loved Madonna in the 80's for her controversy and the cute bubbly music. After the 80's it does kind of go downhill. She tried so hard in the 90's to be shocking, when it just seemed to come naturally to her in the 80's.I think what puts me off of her is that she has reinvented herself so many times and so you wonder, who is she really? (Who's that girrllll..lol). This would not be necessary for a truly talented performer. Look at the Stones, and Aerosmith. Their images really haven't changed over the years and they are still putting music out there. And it isn't necessary for a female performer to reinvent herself to stay on top. Look at Aretha Franklin...as far as I know she is the same lady she has always been and is still the Queen. Just my opinion, of course...diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks. ;D

Where you goin' boy, I see your legs twitchin'
Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy

Chorus:

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why
Do fools fall in love with fools like you
Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy
Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy

Why did you go and crash up your new car
Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy
Is it because it didn't take you too far
Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy
Why do you always have such a sad face
Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy
Is it because you want to get out of this place
Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy

(chorus)

Intermediate:

You're much too wild for this town
There's not much here that's gonna hold you down
You gotta lotta style it should take you far
Take you further than my back yard

Oop shoo boop oop oop sha la la la (repeat 3 times)

Took my advice and got out of this place
Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy
This ole town ain't never gonna be the same
Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy

Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy

Jimmy Jimmy, oh Jimmy Jimmy

(chorus, cut short)

Oop shoo boop oop oop sha la la la (repeat 3 times)
