I've had other guys
I've looked into their eyes
But I never knew love before
'Til you walked through my door
I've had other lips
I-I-I've sailed a thousand ships
But no matter where I go
You're the one for me baby
This I know 'cause it's
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be
True blue
Baby I love you
I've heard all the lines
I've cried oh so many times
Those tear drops they won't fall again
I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend
So if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear I said
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be
True blue
Baby I love you
'Cause it's
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be
True blue
Baby I love you
No-o more sadness
I kiss it good-bye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's
So if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear I said
No-o more sadness
I kiss it good-bye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be
True blue
Baby I love you
I love you
(This time I know it's true love) lala lalalala
(The one I'm dreaming of) lala lalalala
(Your heart fits just like a glove)
And I'm gonna be
True blue
Baby I love you

The
title track was released as third single. Many will agree this song
is the least representative of Madonna's work and certainly of her
image. Between all the controversies, this silly 'doo-wop' love
song just seems a little odd. Nonetheless it became a #1 hit
in the UK and Japan, while it got to #2 in Canada and #3 (Gold)
in the US.
Video
There
are two different videos for True Blue. The official video - released
in Europe - was directed by James Foley. It shows Madonna and
three backup singers (including her friend Debi Mazar) as some
all-American bubblegum-chewing girls chatting about their true
love. Compared to the controversial Like
A Virgin and Open Your Heart, this song
and video were totally different from Madonna's style. A second
video for True Blue - released in the US - was made by Angel Gracia
and Cliff Guest, winners of the MTV 'Make My Video'-contest. » Watch the video on our blog
Tour
On
the Who's That Girl Tour,
Madonna got out a pretty white dress for this lovvy-duvvy song.
Her girlfriends back her up behind her. Then her guy (the dancer)
invites her for a sweet dance.
