I have to admit that I initially found Madonna’s Hard Candy disappointing. I mean, some of the songs are absolute rubbish. I still think half of the album is absolute trash, but this album does contain some rather good songs, 4 Minutes.. Heartbeat.. Miles Away. And I think Madonna has come up with possibly two of the best songs in her career. I’m posting a video a fan made out of the first one - Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You.
As quiet as it is tonight, You’ll almost think you were safe
Your eyes, are full of surprises, They cannot predict my fate
Waiting underneath the stars, There something you should know
The angels they surround my heart, Telling me to let you go
I bet he couldn’t
I bet he couldn’t recognize
But I fed right into it
Who am I to criticize
Somehow I’ll get through it
And you won’t even realize
Falling through your own disguise
It’s like over and over
You’re pushing me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over
I keep on comming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it’s over
You can lie to me right through your smile
I see behind your eyes
Now I’m sober
The more intoxicating my mind
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do, I do, I do
You almost fooled yourself this time, Let all the saints be graced
You hide your sadness behind your smile, And you keep your lost heartbreak
The steps that edge along the ledge is much higher than it seems
But I’ve been on that ledge before, You can’t hide yourself from me
I bet he couldn’t
I bet he couldn’t recognize
I still played right into it
Who am I to criticize
Somehow I’ll get through it
And you won’t even realize
Falling through your own disguise
It’s like over and over
You’re pushing me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over
I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it’s over
You can lie to me right through your smile
I see behind your eyes
Now I’m sober
The more intoxicating my mind
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do, I do, I do
It’s like over and over
You’re pushing me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over
I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it’s over
You can lie to me right through your smile
I see behind your eyes
Now I’m sober
The more intoxicating my mind
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
You, you, you
Devil wouldn’t recognize you
You, you, you
Devil wouldn’t recognize you
You, you, you
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do
I do, I do
You, you, you
Devil wouldn’t recognize you
But I do
