you just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

happy birthday, madonna.

first bits of high school. i wore lace in my hair like that, denim jackets, and those sunglasses.

those were the days of girl group aspirations, plots to move to london, to re-invent myself. i always loved this era of madonna best (though i'm also quite fond of the 'like a prayer' time, too).

something in the way you love me wont let me be
i dont want to be your prisoner so baby wont 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 dont you fool around

just try to 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

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 till i just cant see
but then you let me down, when i look around, baby you just cant be found
stop driving me away, i just wanna stay,
theres something i just got to say

just try to understand, i've given all i can,
cause you got the best of me

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
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
