This is the forgotten song from the album. Not only is it thrown to the back of the tracklist; it’s also the only Madonna song on the album that wasn’t released and that wasn’t performed on the Who’s That Girl Tour.
The song was inspired by Sixties Motown and the group Martha and the Vandellas.
[Chorus]
Can't stop
Can't stop thinking about you, babe, can't stop
Can't stop screaming and shouting your name, can't stop
Look out, boy, 'cause I'm going to the top
Of your list, can't stop
[Verse 1]
I've tried and tried to get next to you
My friends say I am blind, I'll never break through
But I don't give in so easily
This I know, you just wait and see
I know that you're afraid that I might
Come steal your heart away in the night
But I can't take away what's not mine
You'll see, you'll come to me in time, can't stop
[Chorus]
Can't stop thinking about you, babe, can't stop
Can't stop screaming and shouting your name, can't stop
Look out, boy, 'cause I'm going to the top
Of your list, can't stop
[Verse 2]
I've never gone the distance before
To find if love was worth giving more
I was born to love you, I've got nothing to hide
I know about your secret side
So shut me out, I'll never let go
'Cause I can work a spell on your soul
I play the fool, but it won't last for long
Oh, no, 'cause, baby, I'm too strong, can't stop
[Chorus]
Can't stop thinking about you, babe, can't stop
Can't stop screaming and shouting your name, can't stop
Look out, boy, 'cause I'm going to the top
Of your list, can't stop
Can't stop thinking about you, babe, can't stop
Can't stop screaming and shouting your name, can't stop
Look out, boy, 'cause I'm going to the top
Of your list, can't stop
[Bridge]
Don't be afraid to try
Just let me love you for a while
You'll see what it's all about
Oh, baby, I can't clear you out
[Interlude]
(Can't stop)
(Can't stop)
(Can't stop)
[Verse 3]
So shut me out, I'll never let go
'Cause I can work a spell on your soul
I play the fool, but it won't last for long
Oh, no, 'cause, baby, I'm too strong, can't stop
[Bridge]
Don't be afraid to try
Just let me love you for a while
You'll see what it's all about
Oh, baby, I can't clear you out
[Chorus]
Can't stop thinking about you, babe, can't stop
Can't stop screaming and shouting your name, can't stop
Look out, boy, 'cause I'm going to the top
Of your list, can't stop
Can't stop thinking about you, babe, can't stop
Can't stop screaming and shouting your name, can't stop
Look out, boy, 'cause I'm going to the top
Of your list, can't stop
[Outro]
Just can't help myself
You know I've got to have you and no one else (can't stop)
Just can't help myself
You know I've got to have you and no one else (can't stop)
Just can't help myself
You know I've got to have you and no one else (can't stop)
Just can't help myself
You know I've got to have you and no one else
