Is This Love (Bon d'Accord)

Lyrics

How can I be sure you're telling me the truth
In this house of games you never you show your cards
You claim madness it's become convenient
I don't wanna hear your angry words again

You hear voices taunting you to leave me
Then you're sorry you hold me in your arms
You have demons, nothing can control them
Who can blame you if you're not in charge

Is this love, I think not
I wanna get off this merry-go-round
History will repeat itself
And I won't let you take me down

Treat me like a curse then tell me I'm your saviour
I'm living with the stranger I used to know so well
Waiting for your answer is a kind of torture
Could I grow accustomed to this kind of hell?

You hear voices taunting you to leave me
Then you're sorry you hold me in your arms
You have demons, nothing can control them
Who can blame you if you're not in charge

Is this life, I think not
I wanna get off this merry-go-round
History will complete itself
And I won't let you take me down

I'd like to get to know you
You could warm up your hands on my heart
I've got so much to show you
But for now it's just, bon d'accord

Song

This song was supposedly written for the Hello Suckers! musical in 2004. That project never materialized, but Madonna saved some for her later work and this track in particular became the basis of the Hard Candy album track Voices, reworked by Justin, Timbaland & Danja.
