RESCUE ME

SINGLES THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION 1991

Après le succès indiscutable de « Justify My Love », le 2nd inédit de la compilation « The immaculate Collection » sort aux Etats-Unis. En revanche, pour le reste du monde et notamment l’Europe, c’est le titre « Crazy For You » qui est ré-édité avant que « Rescue Me » ne soit enfin disponible notamment en album remixes. Un titre rythmé, souvent méconnu et pourtant très intéressant ! Le titre réussit tout de même à se hisser dans le top 10 de plusieurs hits mondiaux et ce malgré l’absence de promotion et de clip, Madonna étant trop occupée par ses projets de film (in bed with Madonna).

Paroles

I’m talking, I’m talking I believe in the power of love
I’m singing, I’m singing I believe that you can rescue me

With you I’m not a little girl With you I’m not a man
When all the hurt inside of me comes out You understand
You see that I’m ferocious You see that I am weak
You see that I am silly And pretentious and a freak

But I don’t feel too strange for you Don’t know exactly what you do
I think when love is pure you try To understand the reasons why
And I prefer this mystery It cancels out my misery
And gives me hope that there could be A person that loves me

Rescue me (Rescue me) It’s hard to believe Your love has given me hope
Rescue me (Rescue me) It’s hard to believe I’m drowning, baby throw out your rope

With you I’m not a fascist Can’t play you like a toy
And when I need to dominate You’re not my little boy
You see that I am hungry For a life of understanding
And you forgive my angry little heart When she’s demanding
You bring me to my knees While I’m scratching out the eyes
Of a world I want to conquer And deliver, and despise
And right while I am kneeling there I suddenly begin to care
And understand that there could be A person that loves me

Rescue me (Rescue me) It’s hard to believe Your love has given me hope
Rescue me (Rescue me) It’s hard to believe I’m drowning, baby throw out your rope

Love is understanding It’s hard to believe
Life can be so demanding I’m sending out an S.O.S.
Stop me from drowning Baby I’ll do the rest

Rescue me (Rescue me) Your love has given me hope (Your love has given me hope)
Rescue me (Rescue me) I’m drowning Baby throw out your rope (Baby throw out your rope)

Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding
Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding

Love is understanding It’s hard to believe
Life can be so demanding I’m sending out an S.O.S.
Rescue me, rescue me

It’s not my business to decide How good you are for me
How valuable you are And what the world can see
Only that you try to understand me And have the courage to love me for me

I believe (I believe in the power)
I believe that you can rescue me
(I believe that you can rescue me)

I’m singing I believe (I believe in the power)
I believe that you can rescue me (I believe that you can rescue me)
I’m singing, I’m singing, I’m singing (I believe in the power)
I believe that you can rescue me (I believe that you can rescue me)

I’m talking, I’m talking (I believe in the power)
I believe in the power of love (I believe that you can rescue me)
I’m talking, I’m talking (I believe in the power)
I believe in the power of love (I believe that you can rescue me)

I’m singing, I’m singing, I believe (I believe in the power)
I believe that you can rescue me (I believe that you can rescue me)

Hey hey, hey hey (I believe in the power)
R.E.S.C.U.E. me (I believe you can rescue me)
Only you can rescue me Hey hey, hey…
(I believe in the power) (I believe you can rescue me)
(I believe in the power) (I believe you can rescue me)
