Madonna - Like A Virgin Lyrics

Madonna Lyrics

"Like A Virgin"

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was until I found you
I was beat, incomplete, I'd been had
I was sad and blue, but you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel shiny and new

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you, 'cause only love can last
You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah, you make me bold
Oh, your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out what was scared and cold

Like a virgin (hey)
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat next to mine

You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'til the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel I've nothing to hide

Like a virgin (hey)
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
With your heartbeat next to mine

Like a virgin
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Ooh, baby yeah
Can't you hear my heart beat for the very first time?

"Like A Virgin" was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. Interestingly, it was not written for Madonna or any female singer but was inspired by Billy's personal experiences.

Songwriter explains: "I wasn't just trying to get that racy word 'virgin' in a lyric. I was saying that I may not really be a virgin — I've been battered romantically and emotionally like many people — but I'm starting a new relationship and it just feels so good, it's healing all the wounds and making me feel like I've never done this before, because it's so much deeper and more profound than anything I've ever felt."

Reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song remained at the top for the first five weeks of 1985, becoming Madonna's biggest career single.

The music video was mainly shot in Venice, Italy.

Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of this song called "Like A Surgeon".
