"Words, they cut like a knife | Cut into my life | I don't want to hear your words | They always attack | Please take them all back | If they're yours I don't want anymore

You think you're so smart | You try to manipulate me | You try to humiliate with your words | You think you're so chic | You write me beautiful letters | You think you're so much better than me

But your actions speak louder than words | And they're only words, unless they're true | Your actions speak louder than promises | You're inclined to make and inclined to break

You think you're so shrewd | You try to bring me low | You try to gain control with your words

Friends they tried to warn me about you | He has good manners, he's so romantic | But he'll only make you blue | How can I explain to them | How could they know | I'm in love with your words | Your words

You think you're so sly | I caught you at your game | You will not bring me shame with your words

Too much blinding light | Your touch, I've grown tired of your words | Words, words

A linguistic form that can meaningfully be spoken in isolation
Conversation, expression, a promise, a sigh | In short, a lie

A message from heaven, a signal from hell | I give you my word I'll never tell
Language that is used in anger | Personal feelings signaling danger

A brief remark, an utterance, information | Don't mince words, don't be evasive
Speak your mind, be persuasive | A pledge, a commitment, communication,
words"

*lyrics from Madonna' song Words

Palavras: seria esta uma das melhores composições da Madonna? Ultimamente tenho escutado muito ao "Erotica", e fico cada vez mais fascinado pelas palavras usadas nas letras das músicas. É gritante o quão maduro é este disco, tanto musicalmente quanto nos temas abordados. Não está entre os meus prediletos, mas nunca deixei de cita-lo como referência, afinal, ele tem sua importância principalmente nas faixas menos conhecidas que não foram lançadas.

Assim como ele não tem nada de erótico. A maldade está na cabeça dos preconceituosos!!! E são músicas como esta que eu digo: Gosto quando fala sobre mim, sobre algo que passei, algo que sinto, enfim, que me faz refletir e pensar que não estou sozinho nestas coisinhas simples da vida.
