Madonna - Like a Virgin Lyrics

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
Id been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Chorus:

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats (after first time, with your heartbeat)
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

(chorus)

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You’re so fine and you’re mine
Ill be yours till the end of time
cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Ive nothing to hide

(chorus)

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

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Cant you hear my heart beat
For the very first time ?

Madonna wears a wedding gown in the music video, which was directed by Mary Lambert.

“Like a Virgin” was honored by Rolling Stone and MTV in 2000 as the fourth song on their list of the “100 Greatest Pop Songs”.

The hook has been known to be similar to Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” although Jackson’s song is about a man denying paternity of a child and Madonna’s is about a reality-altering love. In reality, the hooks of both songs borrow heavily from The Four Tops’ “I Can’t Help Myself”. Madonna acknowledged the similarities between her hit and those of Jackson and The Four Tops by incorporating elements of each into her live performances of “Like A Virgin” (with “Billie Jean” during 1985’s The Virgin Tour and with “I Can’t Help Myself” during 1987’s Who’s That Girl World Tour.

Madonna performed “Like a Virgin” at the first MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in 1984.
