Madonna - THE NEXT BEST THING

5 THIS LIFE

Sitting on a park bench
Thinking about a friend of mine
He was only 23
Gone before he had his time
It came without a warning
Didn’t want his friends to see him cry
He knew the day was dawning
And I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye

In this life I loved you most of all
What for?
´Cause now you´re gone and I have to ask myself
What for?
What for?
Driving down the boulevard
Thinking about a man I knew
He was like a father to me
Nothing in the world that he wouldn´t do
Taught me to respect myself
Said that we´re all made of flesh and blood
Why should he be treated differently
Shouldn´t matter who you choose to love

People pass by and I wonder who´s next
Who determines, who knows best
Is there a lesson I´m supposed to learn in this case
Ignorance is not bliss

Have you ever watched your best friend die (what for)
Have you ever watched a grown man cry (what for)
Some say that life isn´t fair (what for)
I say that people just don´t care (what for)
They´d rather turn the other way (what for)
And wait for this thing to go away (what for)
Why do we have to pretend (what for)
Some day I pray it will end
I hope it´s in this life
I hope it´s in this life time.
