About Borderline

"Borderline" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna for her eponymous debut album Madonna (1983). It was released on February 15, 1984 by Sire Records as the album's fifth single. Written and composed by its producer Reggie Lucas, the song was remixed by Madonna's then-boyfriend John "Jellybean" Benitez. The singer used refined and expressive vocals to deliver lyrics about an unfulfilled love. Contemporary critics and authors applauded the song, calling it harmonically the most complex track from Madonna and praising its dance-pop nature. In the United States, "Borderline" became Madonna's first top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number ten in June 1984. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number two after it was re-released as a single in 1986. Elsewhere, the song reached the top 10 or 20 in numerous European nations, while topping the singles chart of Ireland. "Borderline" placed number 84 on Blender magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born," while Time included it on their critics list of "All-Time 100 Songs." more »

Something in the way you love me won't' let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner, so baby, won't you set me free
Stop playing with my heart
Finish what you start
When you make my love come down
If you want me, let me know
Baby, let it show
Honey, don't you fool around

Just try to understand (understand)
I've given all I can
'Cause you got the best of me

Borderline,
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Borderline,
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline
(Borderline)

Keep on pushing me, baby
Don't you know you drive me crazy
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me
When you hold me in your arms, you love me 'til I just can't see
But then you let me down, when I look around
Baby, you just can't be found
Stop driving me away, I just want to stay
There's something I just got to say

Just try to understand (understand)
I've given all I can
'Cause you got the best of me

Borderline,
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Borderline,
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline
(Borderline)

Keep on pushing me baby
Don't you know you drive me crazy
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Look what your love has done to me
Come on baby, set me free
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline
(Borderline)
You cause me so much pain, I think I'm going insane
What does it take to make you see?
You just keep on pushing my love
Over the borderline

Keep pushing me baby
Keep pushing me baby
Keep pushing my love

Come on baby
Come on darling, yeah
