Things haven't been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never, ever, ever gonna let it go
Bridge:
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me
Chorus:
Mmm mmm (skip for the first two times)
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret
You gave me back the paradise
That I thought I lost for good
You helped me find the reasons why
It took me by surprise that you understood
You knew all along
What I never wanted to say
Until I learned to love myself
I was never ever lovin' anybody else
(bridge)
(chorus, repeat)

(chorus, repeat)
Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret
Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret
Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret for me
Mmm mmm, mmm mmm, mmm mmm
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never, ever, ever gonna let it go
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret
That I thought I lost for good
You helped me find the reasons why
It took me by surprise that you understood
You knew all along

Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret

I think the song is about the secret of happiness. When I read/listen to these verses: "until I learn to love myself, I was never ever loving anybody else", "happiness lies in your hands" and "untill you share your secret with me" it comes to my mind that the secret that this person keeps is what you have to to be happy...you have to love yourself, and make yourself happy, cause your happiness is YOUR responsability..this is the secret, then this person shares this great discovery of life with Madonna.
Ever since Madonna's brief and secret relationship with Tupac Shakir came to light, I have thought this song was about him/them. They met in 1993 and this song came out less than a year later in 1994.
It's been suggested that the lover's "secret" was being a transexual.
"Happiness lies in your own hand It took me much too long to understand How it could be Until you shared your secret with me"
Notice how Madonna doesn't actually tell you what the secret is... lol ... not directly anyway.
'(a)(penis) lies in your own hands'
'something's cumming over me'
'Mmmmmm, my baby's got a secret'
This song reminds me of the 'Law of Attraction". Which is discussed in the book and the dvd "The secret". Coincidence?
Oooooh uncanny!
Oooooh uncanny!
I just watched the video, if you noticed she lays on a person with a dress on, HE has man hands, and you see at the end that she and he are married with a child, and he is a cross dresser, or a trans sexual. So at the end she accepts him for who he is. Happiness lies in your own hands, it took to much for me to understand, how it could be.
very good song
She wasn't able to love anyone because she didn't love herself. Finally she meets a guy who helps her through that and she is able to love him. The secret is that he knows EXACTLY how to win her over!
I think this song is about the love of God. Her "baby" is God and the secret is the belief.
"Things haven't been the same Since you came into my life You found a way to touch my soul .. Happiness lies in your own hand It took me much too long to understand .. You gave me back the paradise That I thought I lost for good You helped me find the reasons why"
She's simply talking to God about how her life changed, how she understood things clearly after he came into her life.
I always thought it's written for a lover but I couldn't fit that "Until I learned to love myself, I was never ever loving anybody else" line to it, but if you think about finding the love of God and inner peace, it fits.
And finally "Something's coming over, my baby's got a secret" makes a lot of sense.
The video itself has religious references and watch Secret DWT backdrop, it has religious rituals of Buddhists, African tribes, Sufis, Jews, Christians and other believers.
@belmad = ''WHOEVER YOU ARE = YOU FUCKING NAILED IT, I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS = BECAUSE ''I AM'' THE 1 SHE IS SINGING ABOUT, WHY YOU MENTIONED ALL OF THOSE RELIGIONS, IS BEYOND ''ME'' BECAUSE THE 1 TRUE LIVING GOD, IN NOT IN ALL FORMS OF VARIOUS WORLD RELIGIONS''

@belmad = ''CHECK OUT ''MY'' REPLY 2 ''FROZEN'' & YOU WILL SEE, THAT THE TRUE ANSWER = ''GOD WAS / IS, & ALWAYS WILL BE HER LOVER, & THEN SOME'' ~

@belmad you are very close! She wrote it after about a guy she dated and later discovered that he was very religious. Not sure if she ever publicly mentioned this, but that is definitely what it was written about. The video references being in xtc, through love and God, with references to MDMA-pacifiers, tight muscles, rubbing etc.

I saw the video for SECRET for the first time today (11-3-2012). There were a lot of old African-American musicians around Madonna while she sang. I think the secret could be heroin. I don't think it's about GOD. I'll have to re-view vid to catch the transexual and the kid.
Anyway, from what I'VE HEARD, heroin lets you love everybody & everything, at least while you're high.
