True Blue
Madonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've looked into their eyes
But I never knew love before
'Til you walked through my door
I've had other lips
I've sailed a thousand ships
But no matter where I go
You're the one for me baby
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be true blue
Baby, I love you
I've heard all the lines
I've cried oh so many times
Those tear drops they won't fall again
I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend
So if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love was all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear
I said
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be true blue
Baby, I love you
'Cause it's true love (This time I know it's true love)
You're the one I'm dreaming of (The one I'm dreaming of)
Your heart fits me like a glove (Heart fits just like a glove)
And I'm gonna be true blue
Baby, I love you
No more sadness, I kiss it good-bye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's
True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love, it's
(True love baby) True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love, it's true
So if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear
I said
No more sadness, I kiss it good-bye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's
True love (This time I know it's true love)
You're the one I'm dreaming of (The one I'm dreaming of)
Your heart fits me like a glove (Heart fits just like a glove)
And I'm gonna be true blue
Baby, I love you
I love you (This time I know it's true love)
La la la la la la la (The one I'm dreaming of)
La la la la la la la (Heart fits just like a glove)
And I'm gonna be true blue
Baby, I love you, 'cause it's
(True love baby) true love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love, it's
(True love baby) True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love, it's true (True love baby)
La la la la la (True love baby)

Line by Line Meaning
I've had other guys
I've been in relationships before meeting you
I've looked into their eyes
I've been intimate with them before
But I never knew love before
I have never felt any meaningful emotion from a relationship before
'Til you walked through my door
Until you came into my life
I've had other lips
I've kissed other guys
I've sailed a thousand ships
I've traveled to many places
But no matter where I go
Despite where I went or who I met
You're the one for me baby
You're the only one I want to be with
This I know 'cause it's
I'm certain of this because
True love
Our relationship is built on genuine affection and sincerity
You're the one I'm dreaming of
You're the person I fantasize about and long for
Your heart fits me like a glove
We’re emotionally connected, and our hearts are perfectly tuned
And I'm gonna be true blue
I'll be loyal and truthful to you
Baby, I love you
I care profoundly about you
I've heard all the lines
I have listened to empty, clichéd expressions of love before
I've cried oh so many times
I have shed many tears because of those experiences
Those tear drops they won't fall again
I will not break down and cry any longer with you by my side
I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend
I'm thrilled because you're my confidant and companion and a romantic partner.
So if you should ever doubt
If you ever get skeptical
Wonder what love was all about
Question or confused about love
Just think back and remember dear
Recall our bond
Those words whispered in your ear
Remember intimate conversations we've had
No more sadness, I kiss it good-bye
I can forget my sad past because of you
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I feel my life is radiating with positivity and energy because of you
I searched the whole world for someone like you
I scoured high and low for someone special and it ended with you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's
Can't you see or understand that it's
(This time I know it's true love)
I can tell that it's genuine affection this time
I love you
I adore you
