Song lyrics
It's funny that way
You can get used to the tears and the pain
What a child will believe..you never loved me.

You can't hurt me now.
I got away from you
I never thought I would
You can't make me cry.
You once had the power, I never felt so good
By myself

Seems like yesterday
I laid down next to your boots and I prayed
For your anger to end
Oh Father I have sinned

You can't hurt me now.
I got away from you
I never thought I would
You can't make me cry.
You once had the power, I never felt so good
By myself

Maybe someday
When I look back I'll be able to say
You didn't mean to be cruel
Somebody hurt you too.

You can't hurt me now.
I got away from you
I never thought I would
You can't make me cry.
You once had the power, I never felt so good
By myself

I'm a very big Madonna fan. I remember the video....the little girl whos mom died and her father that was mad all the time. I always sang this song when I was a kid, never knowing what it was about and never understanding it. But as I got older I understood. Madonna actually had a childhood like that, so its an emotional song.

This song is very touchy...
She really knows how to sing about important matters or issues that she has experienced through her life...

LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!!

im not really a madonna fan, but i remembered seeing this video when i was younger, and how sad it was. vaguely, i remember it being about a young girl who lost her mother, and her father was always angry. but the lyrics at the end of song, show she realised that her father was hurt/upset and didn't mean to be like this.
