{Note: The Madonna Timeline is an ongoing feature, where I put the iPod on shuffle and write a little anecdote on whatever was going on in my life when that Madonna song was released and/or came to prominence in my mind.}
You say that you need my loveAnd you’re wanting my body, I don’t mindBaby all I’ve got is timeAnd I’m waiting to make you mine
You say you wanna stay the nightBut you’ll leave me tomorrow, I don’t careAll of your moves are rightWe can take it anywhere…
I have absolutely no recollection of this song from when it came out. It was early days for Madonna, before I was even aware of myself, much less the latest pop star about to take the world by storm. We were both in our infancies then. Of course I become aware of it later on, but by then other songs and career moves held my attention, and this one never took on classic status in my eyes. That’s ok – not every single Madonna song is destined for epic effect, and others seem to have embraced this one from the get-go so it doesn’t lack for fans. I’m just not one of them.
Maybe we were meant to be togetherEven though we never met beforeWe got to move before the sun is risingAnd you’ll be walking slowly out the doorOut the door
Physical attraction (physical attraction)It’s a chemical reaction, oohIt’s a physical attractionIt’s a chemical reaction, yeah
Song #171 – ‘Physical Attraction’
