About Secret Garden

"Secret Garden" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna for her fifth studio album, Erotica. It was written and produced by the singer and Andre Betts. Like many of the songs that resulted from the sessions with Betts, the song has a jazz-flavor, but leans into the then-burgeoning acid jazz and downtempo sounds emerging from the UK. As with many of the album’s lyrics, double entendres abound on “Secret Garden”; but in this case, there’s .

Secret Garden Lyrics

[00:26.66] In my secret garden, I'm looking for the perfect flower
[00:32.15] Waiting for my finest hour
[00:34.91] In my secret garden, I still believe after all
[00:40.97] I still believe and I fall
[00:43.61] You plant the seed and I'll watch it grow
[00:47.82] I wonder when I'll start to show
[00:50.64] I wonder if I'll ever know
[00:54.04] Where my place is
[00:56.91] Where my face is
[00:58.95] I know it's in here somewhere
[01:01.68] I just wish I knew the color of my hair
[01:06.03] I know the answer's hiding somewhere
[01:09.96] In my secret garden, there's
[01:14.35] A petal that isn't torn
[01:18.30] A heart that will not harden
[01:22.42] A place that I can be born
[01:26.86] In my secret garden
[01:31.17] A rose without a thorn
[01:34.25] A lover without scorn
[01:39.32]
[01:44.66] If I wait for the rain to kiss me and undress me
[01:48.30] Will I look like a fool, wet and a mess
[01:52.47] Will I still be thirsty
[01:56.23] Will I pass the test
[01:59.20] And if I look for the rainbow, will I see it
[02:04.37] Or will it pass right by
[02:07.85] 'Cause I'm not supposed to see
[02:12.12] 'Cause the blind are never free
[02:16.80] Even at my secret garden
[02:19.66] There's a chance that I could harden
[02:21.81] That's why I'll keep on looking, for
[02:24.47] A petal that isn't torn
[02:28.01] A heart that will not harden
[02:32.26] A place that I can be born
[02:36.38] In my secret garden
[02:40.99] A rose without a thorn
[02:44.57] A lover without scorn
[02:51.10] I still believe, I still believe
[02:58.95]
[03:01.33] 'Cause after all is said and done
[03:05.21] I'm still alive
[03:06.31] And the boots have come and trampled on me
[03:09.38] And I'm still alive
[03:10.60] 'Cause the sun has kissed me, and caressed me
[03:15.55] And I'm strong, and there's a chance
[03:19.85] That I will grow, this I know
[03:24.35] So I'm still looking for
[03:26.65] A petal that isn't torn
[03:29.78] A heart that will not harden
[03:34.32] A place that I can be born
[03:38.32] In my secret garden
[03:42.43] A rose without a thorn
[03:47.48] A lover without scorn
[03:52.83] Somewhere in fountain blue
[03:56.40] Lies my secret garden
[03:58.36]
