Physical Attraction Lyrics

You say that you need my love
And you're wantin' my body, I don't mind
Baby all I've got is time
And I'm waiting to make you mine

You say you wanna stay the night
But you'll leave me tomorrow, I don't care
All of your moves are right
We can take it anywhere, this

Chorus:

Physical attraction
It's a chemical reaction
Physical attraction
Chemical reaction

Trying hard to get away
But I can't seem to fight the way I feel
Even though you're not for real
Your touch is driving me
Crazy and when you smile
It's just makin' me want you more and more
Baby won't you stay a while
It could be such a fantasy

(chorus)

Maybe we were meant to be together
Even though we never met before
We got to move before the sun is rising
And you'll be walking slowly out the door

(chorus)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Physical Attraction is by far Madonnas deepest song of "hunger". The hunger of the flesh and the heart. Released in 1983 it is one of Madonnas earliest songs. It was released as a single, which explains why its so long. it fuses pop, synth, r&b, and what would be a trademark in many other songs... deep throaty talk. It is about uncertainty, about wanting and waiting - much like Borderline. I love it for its length and confusion and for Madonnas earliest if not the first example of her extremely wide vocal range, of which very very few singers have. A this time Madonna was hungry for International fame and fortune amidst the hard rough dirty city of New York. In a crowded megalopolis city of NY, Madonna would certainly be looking for love, someone to nurture her.

Of all he songs this is my favorite without a doubt. Its true pure Madonna as a young artist singing from the heart and soul.
