Justify My Love Lyrics
I wanna kiss you in Paris
I wanna hold your hand in Rome
I wanna run naked in a rainstorm
Make love in a train cross-country
You put this in me
So now what, so now what?
Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to justify my love
Hoping, praying
For you to justify my love
I want to know you
Not like that
I don't wanna be your mother
I don't wanna be your sister either
I just wanna be your lover
I wanna be your baby
Kiss me, that's right, kiss me
Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to justify my love
Yearning, burning
For you to justify my love
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
Talk to me -- tell me your dreams
Am I in them?
Tell me your fears
Are you scared?
Tell me your stories
I'm not afraid of who you are
We can fly!
Poor is the man
Whose pleasures depend
On the permission of another
Love me, that's right, love me
I wanna be your baby
Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to justify my love
I'm open and ready
For you to justify my love
To justify my love
Wanting, to justify
Waiting, to justify my love
Praying, to justify
To justify my love
I'm open, to justify my love
Meaning of Justify My Love
“Justify My Love” is a desperate plea for reciprocation within a passionate and consuming relationship. Madonna embodies the raw desire and vulnerability of someone utterly devoted, yearning for their partner to acknowledge and validate this intense love. The repeated questioning – “So now what? Wanting, needing, waiting… For you to justify my love?” – reveals a profound insecurity and dependence; she’s offering complete openness, fantastical scenarios like kissing in iconic cities or even running naked in the rain, yet still demanding proof of affection. She rejects platonic roles, craving intimacy and connection, expressing a fear of being controlled by another's approval. Ultimately, the song is about needing someone to recognize and cherish her love without conditions, illustrating the painful struggle for emotional validation and the yearning for a truly selfless devotion – “To justify my love.”
