Into the Groove
Madonna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you can dance
For inspiration
Come on
I'm waiting

Get into the groove
Boy, you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy, what will it be?

Music can be such a revelation
Dancing around, you feel the sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm's right
I hope this feeling never ends tonight

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night, I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight, I wanna dance with someone else

Get into the groove
Boy, you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy, what will it be?

Gonna get to know you in a special way
This doesn't happen to me every day
Don't try to hide it, love wears no disguise
I see the fire burning in your eyes

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night, I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight, I wanna dance with someone else

Get into the groove
Boy, you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy, what will it be?
Yeah

Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free
Touch my body, and move in time
Now I know you're mine (you've got to)

Get into the groove
Boy, you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy, what will it be?

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night, I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight, I wanna dance with someone else

Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free
Touch my body, and move in time
Now I know you're mine

Now I know you're mine
Now I know you're mine
Now I know you're mine
Now I know you're mine
You've got to

Get into the groove
Boy, you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy, what will it be? (Yeah)
Got to

A humble suggestion to Madonna:
Album name: ‘Zephyr in the Sky’
An appeal by the fans to release a compilation of 20 masterpieces from Madonna’s catalogue personifying every emotion we have been through in this most dark age. And as we steer back to humanity and life. Search for the future.
A journey to the light, there is always a ray of hope and then the brilliant radiance of life.
Emotions and these songs clutch in perpetuity, the journey we continue.


Ray of Light
The deliverance of hope. The rhythm of life never seizes. There will always be that zephyr in the sky each night. Embrace it we can.

Masterpiece
Preservation of our most precious in peril. Our children, our people. Our kind. Caress them, protect them, enliven them.

Crazy
Souls without direction. Souls succumbing to the anarchy. Moments of lapse and dissolution of reason. There is always a method in any madness.

Miles Away
Separation - a reality, distancing in the new remote ecosystem – a way of life. Now from a far. Life anew.

4 Minutes
There were heroes. And there were those who saved the world, those who ultimately will and those who arrogantly don’t. We can all be heroes, for even more than a day.

Borderline
Barriers, walls, borders can neither prevent the triumphant human, nor conquer the invisible enemy. Humanity on the borderline of distraught. Never destroyed.

Die Another Day
Death can never be normalized. Not one, not a million. Fight. Death will come, in victory there will ultimately be death. But another day, its not our time to go.

You’ll See
Strength is personal, strength is contagion, strength prevails, strength is now our constant. You’ll see.

La Isla Bonita
My dreams are always my own and even I don’t control them. There will be sun again, there will be celebration again, we will hold hands again –into that beautiful sunset.

Ghost Town
The cradles of our civilization – devoid of voices, people, laughter, love. Ghostly in silence, our great cities shall live again – thrive they shall.

Like a Prayer
God. Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone. You will hear the voice and I always hear you call my name. Forgive me. Pray.

Joan of Arc
You’re only human. Our weakness it can never be. A Joan in us all. New awakenings.

Sorry
Not so many need to be sorry. But sorry are those who remain bigoted in normalizing death and cheating life. They must be sorry. Usher in the preservers. Change.

Another Suitcase in Another Hall
In the anarchy of this world, don’t lose yourself. ‘I’ never goes out of fashion. You are not another brick in the wall.

Dress You Up
Making love, satiated the nights of darkness, all over, all over my body, mind and soul. The adrenaline of sex, of lust, of expressing it still.

Vogue
At night we lock the door when no one else can see. There was a time with my people around me. I’m good with me for now. I n deed to dance, you can too.

Human Nature
Express yourself don’t repress yourself. Humans we are humane but he not always is. The Emperors of yore and now shall not be remembered – not those who lacked humanity and mocked death.

I rise
I am talking about a revolution. A revolution of love. Of compassion. Of kindness. Our time is now and we shall not let the autumn leaves fall in vain. All rise and realize your own renaissance – for you and for the world.

I’ll Remember
I’ll remember the love. I’ll remember the love you gave me. Now that we’re standing on our own – we shall walk again together, we shall celebrate again together. Another circus, another show.
Music
Its about the music. Its always been about the music. Music helped me breathe this, live this, survive this. Music makes the people come together – yeah.

In gratitude, Madonna.
