FOUND THE LYRICS, but no album or nothing

"Sidewalk Talk (Extended Dance Mix)"

Watch where you walk 'cause the sidewalks talk
And you can't keep a secret from the ground beneath you
Step very lightly on the earth below
Or before you know it everyone will know

Streets were paved with a thousand eyes
And try as you may you can't disguise
There's only two things that you can't hide from
That's you and the ground you're walking on

[Chorus:]

Watch where you walk, 'cause the sidewalks talk
You better watch what you do, what you do
'Cause the sidewalk talk can get carried away
You better watch what you say, what you say

Think when you speak 'cause you gotta 'long the street
They can read what you say so you gotta stay away
From words that sting, words are not true
And the things you say make a fool of you

Little white lies make the sidewalk cry
And you can betray with the things you say
Words won't last when you say 'em too fast
And you've been mislead by the things you've said

[chorus]

[Intermediate:]

When you're living on the street
Life can be full of misery
Find a place to call your own
Make your heart into a home

You can do it, uh huh
[repeat 3 times]

You can do it

After every word there's a place that heard
Every time your shoe hits the avenue
And when you've gone they'll sing a song
Of the stories you told when you felt so bold

You better think twice when you cross the ice
Everything you do comes back to you
When you're shedding a tear sidewalks will hear
When your laughter's true they'll run with you

[chorus]
[intermediate]

You can do it, uh huh
[repeat 3 times]

You can do it
[repeat 3 times]

[chorus]

Sidewalk talk
[repeat 3 times]

Let me tell ya 'bout sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
[repeat]

Watch out for sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk
Sidewalk talk

Let me tell ya 'bout
Let me tell ya 'bout
Let me tell ya 'bout
Let me tell ya 'bout sidewalk talk

it's on an album by Jellybean from '85. I don't remember the name of it offhand tho. That should help you out tho, with google. the song never appeared on any of madonna's own albums cuz she technically only is "featured" on it. great song too, although the 12 inch mix overstays it's welcome.
Keep your headphones on.

"Sidewalk Talk" is a 1985 song by Jellybean featuring Madonna.He was her boyfriend and producer in these days,and she wrote this song for his album.This song can be found on the CD "Living In Oblivion:The 80s Greatest Hits Volume 3".Here's a pic of the 12" single...

I was just listening to this yesterday, and it struck me how good it was. She should have kept this one herself and put it on the Desperately seeking susan soundtrack or something....its very New York.

A must for any future Madonna retrospective. In fact I would say after her tour, that is what WB should turn their attention to. Its gonna be like 25 years since everybody, she'll be eligable for the R'N'R Hall of fame next year so it'd be a good time for one.

Awhile back,I suggested that she should perform this song on her upcoming tour.Some fans said I was crazy,but I think this is a cool song to re-vive.

Id love to hear it. In fact id love to hear her whole first album again. She should do what Bowie did with some of his re-masters a few years back, and perform gigs where she just plays one entire album.

Apparently there is a demo of Sidewalk Talk in existence (though not in circulation) that is all Madonna. It was produced with Stephen bray so is in fact likely to be a Madonn/S Bray co-write, but this would be the first instance of Madonna rapping and not Vogue or American Life as some have stated.

The verses are sung/rapped by a lady named Catherine Buchanan.Madonna sings only the chorus and the bridge.There is a circulating bootleg copy with Madonna doing the entire song...verses and chorus.

I agree. I'd love to hear her re-work the tune for a tour!
