In This Life Lyrics - Erotica - Madonna

Sitting on a park bench 

Thinking about a friend of mine 

He was only 23 

Gone before he had his time 

It came without a warning 

Didn't want his friends to see him cry 

He knew the day was dawning 

And I didn't have a chance to say goodbye 

Chorus: 

In this life I loved you most of all 

What for? 

'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myself 

What for?

What for? 

Driving down the boulevard 

Thinking about a man I knew 

He was like a father to me 

Nothing in the world that he wouldn't do 

Taught me to respect myself 

Said that we're all made of flesh and blood 

Why should he be treated differently 

Shouldn't matter who you choose to love 

(chorus) 

Intermediate: 

People pass by and I wonder who's next 

Who determines, who knows best 

Is there a lesson I'm supposed to learn in this case 

Ignorance is not bliss 

(chorus)

Have you ever watched your best friend die [what for] 

Have you ever watched a grown man cry [what for] 

Some say that life isn't fair [what for] 

I say that people just don't care [what for] 

They'd rather turn the other way [what for] 

And wait for this thing to go away [what for] 

Why do we have to pretend [what for] 

Some day I pray it will end 

I hope it's in this life 

I hope it's in this life time 

(repeat)
