About Borderline

"Borderline" is a song recorded by American singer Madonna for her eponymous debut album Madonna (1983). It was released on February 15, 1984 by Sire Records as the album's fifth single. Written and composed by its producer Reggie Lucas, the song was remixed by Madonna's then-boyfriend John "Jellybean" Benitez. The singer used refined and expressive vocals to deliver lyrics about an unfulfilled love. Contemporary critics and authors applauded the song, calling it harmonically the most complex track from Madonna and praising its dance-pop nature. In the United States, "Borderline" became Madonna's first top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number ten in June 1984. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number two after it was re-released as a single in 1986. Elsewhere, the song reached the top 10 or 20 in numerous European nations, while topping the singles chart of Ireland. "Borderline" placed number 84 on Blender magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born," while Time included it on their critics list of "All-Time 100 Songs."

Something in the way you love me
Just won't let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner
So baby, won't you set me free?

Stop playing with my heart, finish what you start
When you make my love come down
If you want me let it show, baby, let me know
Honey, don't you fool around

Just try to understand
I've given all I can
But you've got the best of me

Borderline
It feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You keep pushing my love
Over the borderline

Borderline
It feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You keep pushing my love
Over the borderline, yeah, yeah

Something in your eyes
Is making such a fool of me
When you hold me in your arms
You love me till I just can't see

But then you let me down when I look around
Baby, you just can't be found
Stop driving me away, I just wanna stay
And there's something I just got to say

Just try to understand
I've given all I can
And you've got the best of me

Borderline
It feels like I'm going to lose my mind
You keep pushing my love
Over the borderline

Borderline
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
Keep pushing my love
Over the borderline

Borderline
