I didn't like Deeper & Deeper when it came out, I appreciated it years later.

probably my favorite video era from her. I always found the Rain video to be ahead of its time, visually.

It started with Justify My Love - the Erotic videos and into the Bedtime Story video, I think there is some kind of extension of the directors

the Girly Show is her best concert yet, 2nd to Confessions

The Erotica and Vogue eras were Madonna at her best.

This is my favorite M era.

This album took me on a trip.

The videos? WOW!

This should have been a single!

WAITING

Well, I know from experience
That if you have to ask for something more than once or twice
It wasn't yours in the first place
And that's hard to accept when you love someone
And you're led to believe in their moment of need
That they want what you want but they don't

Bridge:

Don't go breaking my heart like you said you would
Baby, you're no good
And you hurt me like no other lover ever could
Don't go making me cry
You're gonna say goodbye
Baby, tell me why
Tell me why or you're gonna have to justify this

Chorus (substituting "This" for "I'm" in 2nd line):

Waiting for you
I'm waiting
Can't you see I'm waiting for you
Don't break my heart

(repeat chorus)

It was so easy in the beginning
When you didn't feel like running from your feelings like you are now
What happened? What do I remind you of?
Your past, your dreams
Or some part of yourself that you just can't love?
I wish I could believe you
Or at least have the courage to leave you

Life has taught me that love with a man like you
Is only gonna make me blue
But I love you anyway no matter what you do
You don't come around here like you did before
When you did adore
Tell me what I did to deserve this

(chorus)
(chorus, substituting "Just" for "I'm" in 2nd line)

Intermediate:

Finally I see a different man
Only love can hurt like this can
Finally I see a different face
Tell me who is going to take my place

(bridge)

I knew it from the start that you would desert me
You're gonna break my heart
Baby, please don't hurt me
(repeat)

(intermediate)

(chorus, repeat)

I knew it from the start that you would desert me
You're gonna break my heart
Baby, please don't hurt me
(repeat)

(chorus)

Break my heart
Don't break my heart
(repeat twice)

Break my heart
You broke my heart (repeat twice)

Uh, next time you want pussy, huh
Just look in the mirror baby.

Funny how Erotica is the least appreacited M era by the casual mainstream fan (or is it AM? ), but it's easily the FAV era of MANY hardcore fans...

not me, though, that would be 86-90: True Blue-YouCanDance-Who'sThatGirl-LikeAPrayer-BATour-DickTracy/Vogue

or 98-01...

For me it's between 91 and 2001. One of the best decades of any performer's careers

those are my two favorite Madonna tours

This was a hot time for the Justify My Love/Erotica/Bed Time Stories

the early 1990's and there was a bit of a sexual revolution going on

the early 1990's was very interesting in pop culture, even shows like MTV's the Real World

had substance to it

And you saw in a lot of different forms what has happening in societies around the world

can't bring myself to let you go.....

Bad Girl....I hated at first.

After listening to it years later and becoming a Modonna fan slowly I thought it was lyriclly engrossing and thoughtful. The video was done very well and is a bit depressing.

Now...I dont hate the song but I don't find myself playing it much...the melody is too slow and singing those same words over and over wears thin after a while.

You're on the org and the org has lots of gay men. "Erotica" which has lots of house music is definitely her gayest sounding album so we love the hell out of it.

I liked the SNL performance of Bad Girl

I love the nasty/slutty vibe of Erotica and the connections with the gay/dance/club world of the early 90s

but the album is way too long, and she seemed a bit sad during that era...

Sometimes,if you ask me,I'll say that Erotica is my favorite Madonna album.Other times,I'll say Ray Of Light is my favorite.Just depends on the day I really can't decide.

Personally I think it would have been amazing....If she removed Did You Do It? She doesn't even sing it!
