Now I'm Following You (part I)
Lyrics
Let's dance
You can do a little two-step
I'll go anywhere that you step to
'cause I'm following you
My feet might be falling out of rhythm
Don't know what I'm doing with them
But I know I'm following you
Unlikely as it is to me
On the floor with two left feet
Let's boogie woogie till our hearts skip a beat
But who's counting?
Encore, once again around the dance floor
Romance is in the picture too
Now I'm following you
Take it away boys
Unlikely as it is to me
On the floor with two left feet
Let's boogie woogie till our hearts skip a beat
But who's counting?
Encore, once again around the dance floor
Romance is in the picture too
Now I'm following you

Album
Song
This song is a duet between Madonna and Warren Beatty, her co-actor in Dick Tracy and real-life boyfriend at that time. With its 1'35 it's Madonna's shortest album song. The track also features in the movie, but in a version that is not sung by Madonna.
Tour
On the Blond Ambition Tour Madonna introduced her Dick to the audience. In Nice, France she even called him "ma bite". Dick is not Warren Beatty like in the movie, but one of the dancers. After a short introduction play, they dance together to Now I'm Following You (both parts), taking the audience back to the feel of classic Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers movies. The stage also recalls one of their legendary collaborations.
