Madonna - Love Tried To Welcome Me Lyrics






These are my hands, but what can they give me?
These are my eyes, but they cannot see
These are my arms, but they don't know tenderness
And I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness
And loneliness has never been a stranger to me, but

[Chorus:]

Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in

These are my lips, but they whisper sorrow
This is my voice, but it's telling lies
I know how to laugh, but I don't know happiness
And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still

[Chorus2:]

Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
I was covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in

Love tried to break me

And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still

[chorus, inserting "I was" before "Guilty"]
[chorus2, removing "I was"]

(Love tried to break me)
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
(I was covered with dust, covered with sorrow)
Love tried to take me in
(Covered)

Still, love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
(Guilty of lust and sin)
Covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in

(Love tried to break me)
Love tried to welcome me
(Love tried to welcome me)
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
(But my soul drew back)
Love tried to take me in
(I was covered with sadness)

Love tried to welcome me [fade]

  23. A.... S....

    Unpopular opinion: Bedtime Stories is one of her Best Album

  24. T.... M....

    How can a song like this did not become a single and did not have a clip, one of the best Madonna's ballads so far!

  25. J.... M....

    Esté álbum me encanta sobretodo porque me identifica.

  30. O.... V....

    Child🙇

  31. R.... W....

    ~Calming~Soothing~

  32. F.... ....

    The most beautiful Madonna's ballad..

  33. w.... ....

    My absolute favourite of my album and a very favourite of all time.

  34. J.... K....

    Madonna 2019

  35. M.... C....

    Este álbum es tan suave, tan reconfortante, lo escucho y adoro desde hace varios años. ❤️

  36. M.... O....

    Great song!!!!

  37. A.... L....

    The lyrics are amazing in this song - some of my favorite Madonna lyrics ever. One of her more obscure, yet incredibly powerful tracks.

  38. B.... ....

    i cant stop crying and shaking

  39. t.... ....

    this album has such a relaxing intimate feel to it, it's a pleasure to listen to from beginning to end

  40. L.... M....

    I kind of remember Madonna saying going to a strip club watching the girls inspired the song.

  41. M.... B....

    Who still loves this track in 2019-surely not just me?!

    M.... B....

    Goooodddddd song.

    M.... B....

    Matthew Baxter I have loved it ever since she launched it and I will forever and for always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    M.... B....

    it may be my favorite madonna song. I feel she was being so incredibly honest and open with this song. On an album dedicated to trashing her detractors she takes a moment to show that she has considered their perspective too.

    M.... B....

    Bay city gal destined to conquer the world. #motown

  42. j.... ....

    Why was this never included in Something to Remember, I'll never understand.

  43. J.... H....

    Back in the late 90's, after I got home from a long day at work, I'd play Madonna's "Erotica" & "Bedtime Stories" back to back!!! She helped me unwind and relax...works everytime!!!

  44. W.... H....

    Utterly sublime. In addition to the exquisite vocals, the orchestration is glorious x

  45. S.... Q....

    The most underrated and Great song of Madonna. Lyrics and music. Beautiful. And she was 30. Few pop singers come remotely close to her depth and introspection.

    S.... Q....

    She Was 36 When She Done Bedtime Stories In 1994. But True It Is Really Great Writing And Beautifully Delivered.

  46. R.... K....

    One of my favorite songs . I absolutely adore it. And the whole album. And I adore Madonna ❤️❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑

  47. S.... L....

    Soundtrack of my life. Thank you Madonna. The song reflects my love life so greately.

  48. j.... ....

    Essa música consegue me atingir de uma forma única.

  49. e.... ....

    Bedtime Stories definitely is the album for traveling!

  54. L.... A....

  68. a.... ....

    I'm so covered with dust and sin...

  69. M.... K....

    Madonna You Rock this World

  70. F.... A....

    Time pass bye..but this is still one of the BEST R&B songs of all time.

  71. D.... M....

    Haunting!!! ❤️❤️❤️ one of her best pieces of work. Such a shame she doesn't sing any of these ballads off This album anymore

  72. D.... J....

    When some of my friends who are mostly into Gaga or Beyonce and they will ask me what Madonna or Janet Jackson 90's classic albums I can suggest, for Madonna, I suggest them to dig Bedtime Stories or Erotica(aside from the Ray of Light). They will saw Madonna's confessions and underrated ballads. Probably it was shadowed due to Body of Evidence or Sex book but definitely Bedtime Stories and Erotica has the best and solid cuts of songs.

  73. P.... B....

    I think that if she had released this as a single it would have been huge, just a beautiful lyric and lush music

  74. T.... ....

    you cant.

  75. A.... K....

    I remember the 1992 Erotica era. You must remember this was pre-internet, pre-cell phones, social media did not exist back then. There was a massive backlash against her when EROTICA came out. This, BEDTIME STORIES, is 2 years later and a more subdued and low-key affair. But it would take all the way 'til 1998 and RAY OF LIGHT for her to career to finally from the scorn of 1992 and EROTICA. By that time, she cleaned up her image.

  76. a.... b....

    This used to be my theme song. Now I'm open to love. Also some of these lyrics are from a Classical song by Ralph Von Williamson

  77. s.... ....

    I've always known and liked this song...but have literally just realised how much this song is me all over...

  78. V.... ....

    OMG this is her best ballad ever. This should have been a great video & single. This would have been a HUGE hit.
    It's hauntingly beautiful !!!!!!

  79. M.... M....

    Instead of spring its always winter and my heart has always been a lonley hunter

  80. K.... ....

    Breathtaking. I love you Madonna!

  81. j.... r....

    Les paroles s'envolent mais l'Ecriture restent.....

  82. R.... S....

    I love this song so much! 😭😭😭😭

  83. V.... B....

    Love tried to take me in ....

  84. M.... T....

    I love that this album is filled with such chill songs to relax to. Very bedtime story-ish

  85. M.... C....

    Fucking sexy!!!

  86. P.... M....

    TELL ME WHITCH LANGUAGE NOW BECAUSE I.M A ROOKIE ..HA..UNBALIVABLE,,AND PROD FIERE TO BE A FRENCH PEA SOUP SO ...

  87. P.... M....

    STAY LIKE THIS IN YOUR SOUL...AND THE BEST IS THERE..

  88. E.... C....

    Perfeição essa música e essa diva do pop!

  89. D.... P....

    Whoever says Madonna can't sing ought to listen to this song and actually the whole album. Yes, she doesn't have a Whitney voice but she doesn't have to. She is able to express such an amazing gamut of emotions - from lust to love to sadness to depression and desolation to happiness and joy again. Madonna is also one of the few artists who can create entire conceptual albums filled with particular moods and atmospheres which encapsulate whole periods and eras. Just listen to anything from Erotica through to Confessions and you'll be immersed in so many different worlds and facets of Madonna's personality. Her spirituality and soul are addictive and so enriching, lush and powerful.

    D.... P....

    Well said!

    D.... P....

    Dimitar Pijev she has so much than withney s voice ..so much deep inside of soul and heart ..so much

    D.... P....

    Fuck off

    D.... P....

    @darryl baskerville bye bitch to the left now thank you.

    D.... P....

    Amen, Dimitar!!!!!

  90. T.... I....

    Her voice is so sensual...Madonna is 1 of my favorite Pop recording artists....

  91. M.... M....

    Awesome song,criminally underrated

  92. O.... M....

    The story of my life...

  93. N.... L....

    She feels so true in this one, I love this record. I think this album is the beginning of her "opening-sensible" era including Evita, Ray of Light and Somenthing to Remember.

  94. b.... ....

    Just no melody.

  95. c.... ....

    magique

  96. T.... M....

    Sex & The City should have had this song on the show "love tried to break me"

  97. s.... ....

    what a gorgeous song

  98. L.... C....

    just an amazing and a beautiful song

  99. P.... ....

    One my all time favorite songs!! Got it on repeat!!

  100. R.... O....
