In Madonna's song G, she brings us on a journey of a night of partying and having fun. The song's opening line, "you're gonna love this, you can't touch this, 'cause I'm a bad bitch," sets the tone for the entire track - this is a celebration of Madonna's badassery. The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of not holding anything back and going full throttle, "we go hard or we go home, we gon' do this all night long, we get freaky if you want, bitch I'm Madonna." Madonna is the queen of the party, and she wants everyone to know it.
In the first verse, we see Madonna and her entourage heading up to the rooftop, where the party is happening. The music is loud, and the bass is pumping, and this makes her want to let loose and have a good time. They're drinking, and no one can stop them from having fun. Madonna even mentions that they'll be kissing everyone around them - showing that this night is about living in the moment and enjoying themselves.
The second verse shows Madonna taking the party up a notch. This time, they jump into the pool with their clothes on, and she even brought some fireworks to light up the night. The neighbors are not thrilled with the noise, but Madonna doesn't care - she just wants to have fun. The theme of the song comes through again during this verse; Madonna wants to blow up the house tonight and do whatever it takes to have a good time.
Overall, Madonna's song G is an anthem for living in the moment, letting loose, and having fun. Madonna's attitude shines through, and the song is a party from beginning to end.

Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Light are low, the curtains down
There's no one here (There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd)
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around (No one around)
Watching you, watching me,
One lonely star (One lonely star you don't know who you are)
I've always been in love with you (Always with you)
I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true)
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye (Bye bye), say good-bye
Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart (Breaking my heart)
Hide behind your smile,
All the world loves a clown (Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown)
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played (Role that you played)
No more masquerade,
You're one lonely star (One lonely star and you don't know who you are)
I've always been in love with you (Always with you)
I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true)
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
I've always been in love with you (Always with you)
I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true)
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye (Bye bye), say good-bye
All the world is a stage (World is a stage)
And everyone has their part (Has their part)
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break (You'd break, you'd break, you'd break)
You'd break my heart
I've always been in love with you (I've always been in love with you)
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
I've always been in love with you (Always with you)
I guess you've always known it's true (You know it's true)
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye (Bye bye), say good-bye
Say good-bye

I really miss the music video era. It was such a cool time to sit in your living room or bedroom and just let VH1 or MTV play videos uninterrupted. This video itself is a masterpiece
