Lyrics:
Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
'Cause you said so, mmm
Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time, no, no
Let it fall by the way
But don't leave me where I lay down
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
But please don't tell me to stop
Tell the leaves not to turn
But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no
Take the black off a crow
But don't tell me I have to go
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
But don't ever tell me to stop
(Don't you ever) Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
(Don't you ever) Tell me everything I'm not
But don't ever tell me to stop
(Don't you ever)
Please don't
Please don't
Please don't tell me to stop
(Don't you ever tell me) Don't you ever
Don't ever tell me to stop
(Tell the rain not to drop)
Tell the bed not to lay
Like a open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees

The best country folk electronica mix up ever
Well Said me from Halifax N.S. Canada.
She looked gorgeous in this video. I still think her early 40s was when she looked her best
I thoroughly agree!
i disagree. thanks
sorry pal@@salsichalivre5401
Yeapp gorgeous, natural, so talented 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Agree. She looked amazing.
One of Madonna's best songs and is underrated for its originality. 23 years old and it still holds up. Nostalgic and heartfelt with the orchestral strings echoing the sentiment that time is moving and we cannot stop it. Complimented by the Wild West theme.
Geez 23 years already, seems like yesterday when this came on vh1
Well said!
#btw
All her songs hold up she’s a phenomenon
One of her worst songs.
The orchestral ending to this song is fucking incredible.
Agreed its such a simple but moving melody :)
I need a extended version with that orchestral ending longer
My favorite part ❤
CHILLS AND TEARS EVERY TIME
Concordo
Love this period in Madonna's career. The songs were beautifully crafted.
Yeahh
Music is definitely one of my favorite Madonna albums and albums in music in general
Im beginning to understand her newer attitude now because Im getting older now too! I loved her when I was a pee brained kid! And she'll never stop sounding or looking that good!!!!
I love David
You are so right. Totally agree.
The ending is pure dopamine.
😂😂 honestly
Madonna is really the source of inspiration to every pop female artist in existence
Catch it beyonce😂
♥️👍🎸🐐🔥
Take that Queen B
1) Music isn't even a country album 2) Shania Twain was doing country & adding pop influences before Madonna. Like c'mon now
i agree, shania was the pioneer of merging country and pop music, but she’s a country artist (like dolly parton), as a main pop artist, i cannot think of many who have tried country aesthetic and sound before madonna (i’m not saying it didn’t exist, but it wasn’t popular until she did it)
No matter what, I always love the choreography in this video!
Yes. Yes, we do as well. It is simple. And beauty is in the simple.
Complex but simple made simple great choreography great (music) video great song
I'd upvote you, but you're at 199. 1999 was probably the most awesome year that most of us could point to, so I don't want to change the number.
Me too. The hot cowboys don’t hurt either…
Fr
The beat is so good, loved it back in 2000 and still loving it in 2024. Definition of a timeless hit ❤
OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE LEGEND
Coming here after The Celebration Tour in Rio. Shoutout to the editor of this videoclip!

This was choreographed perfectly. Thanks for all the likes. 😊❤
I love dancing to this hit in my living room...❤️
@@luzcaicedo9879 óooooœ
Of course ! This is Madonna !
Yeah. It really is fantastic.
I couldn’t do her foot stuff if you taught me for a week straight!!
I think this might be the most beautiful thing she ever did. Underrated. She was 42, the same age Beyoncé is now (2024) when embarking on an exploration of country music. It's different (I think her whole record will be country, and B is actually from the South), but it's fascinating to see the parallels.
I did not appreciate this at the time. It's gorgeous. This was really against the grain for when it came out to mesh so many genres. The choreography is so fun and it looks like they had a ball doing it.
Madonnas song is way catchier that Beyonces
This was an one time thing. This album wasn't a country album or an attempt at one.
@@77bluegold Madonna was the first to subvert country music style. ‘Don’t Tell Me’ was the beginning of country music breaking in to the pop world. You don’t have to devote a whole album to be the first to take the country music genre and spin it on its head…just one great song will do it ☺️
@@MelanieJolie I'm gonna need a fact check on this comment 😂
You just can’t compete with madonnas creativity and artistry …. She’s just a solidified icon
Madonna looks so naturally beautiful here. One of her best looks.
Totally agreed
in my opinion, the way most if not all women should look, screw the make-up and this surgery shit, be happy with what the LORD gave you, its what on the inside that really counts
@@jetpack6565 lol no. Women should look however they want :)
I agree.
El mejor junto con el del 85✨
Anybody else on a Madonna video binge and totally blown away by her versatility? She is the queen of reinventing herself.
Exactly. Stephen Sondheim passed, who wrote Sooner Or Later, that she sand on the Oscars. Since yesterday, It's been awesome. Sondheim also wrote West Side Story.
Yeah I binge on Madonna once in a while. I can’t imagine my childhood without her many songs and her myriad of images ❤️❤️❤️
Madonna and Janet. The queens of music. So much diversity in their catalogue. Both of their greatest hits albums are enough music you ever need honestly.

Sister Ive been in LOVE with Madonna since 1986. She is absolutley AMAZING !!!

That video, the clothes,her moves, the music ...👍👍🤌❤❤😊
Hard to believe how many versions of Madonna exist. She executes each version flawlessly.
Definitely just thought this thought. Spot on!
ABSOLUTELY AGREE ❤❤

She looks so good in this❤😮
Except the one at the moment
The dancers in this video are absolutely beautiful.
I agree!
Yeah! So Beautiful dancers and costumes ~~
It’s me
oh yeah!
There are other dancers in this video?
That choreography still gives me chills😮
Choreo by legend Jamie King!
Yeah me too man ...from Portugal,
♥️
I still think about it 🙌
Same here
Only Madonna can mix Glitch Pop and Country Music and make it somewhat accessible for most listeners. Love her
That's folk-tronica - a new genre thar Mirwais and Madonna explored further in American Life

the choreography is just class!!! as is the song!
They're the perfect "dancing queer"cowboys.
Madonna's music is timeless.
I dunno. You listen to anything after ray of light .......lol
Elisabeth Chint: Only.....SOME of her songs. Most of her '80s material are pretty dated, and this is coming from a Gen X'er😲😲.
perfect description - eternal & timeless created over several decades !!!

Nicely put.
out of all pop stars she did the best country/pop mix productions.
🔥🐐🎸👍♥️
Lies
Mirwais Ahdadzaï and her did amazing job yes wich aging like fine wine just has Ray Of Light with Orbit
This wasn’t a country/pop album!! What are you talking about?
There's no "country" element in the song itself - only the style and dance of western culture with hunky guys - in a sultry-sounding pop song. Madonna did a great job implementing this western cowboy style into the video for greater visual appeal. Nicely done!
One of the best music videos of all time.
Is no one gonna talk about how the choreography is actually SO good?!?!
Load of repetitive crap. The men must be midgets because she’s just 5’ tall and she’s taller than some of them.
Iconic

True 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Madonna reinvents everything! This is how you do Country and Pop together. I hope Beyoncé's Act 2 has things like this
B now has her forgetable phase.
And just when Jay-Z thinks Queen B is the original , think again. You got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one.
I agree that Madonna did country and pop well with this song and it still holds up well in my opinion. I’m sure those that didn’t know about this song will probably hear more about it.
@@ijustwanttosay7417I agree
@@ronaldrodriguez9601 She's having her biggest hit since 2010...

It's nearly 21 years-old. This was released in mid November 2000.
kzhead.info/sun/ptSQhLipjHSdo3k/bejne.html
There's a reason why the 90s is sometimes called in the art world "the decade that never ended". (and yes, I know this song is from 2000.)
@@humanitiesprofessor1912 damn Don't attack us like this 😭😭😭😭

I love the vibe of this video. All these years later I'm still loving the dance she does.
She's a professional versatile dancer. That's why it looks so awesome and polished. 🤩
I just love she’s randomly Calabaceando in this video…. I am pretty sure I will get the “actually” response
Sei grande!❤❤
3:12 she stands on the guy's foot! Love how they laugh it off and kept it in!
Thanks, I never noticed that! Funny!
C'est ça ...😉
I never noticed that! so funny
It was filmed 20 years ago! Guys, for me it's like it was yesterday!

For me too. This Madonna's song in particular is really nostalgic to me, it just brings back loads of memories.
Me too
Same. I was 12 back then. So many fond memories when they played this song on mtv everyday.
Madonna is a time traveller . Every generation can listen to her music . Hail to the queen .
She is Madonna, the queen of music !!! I luv her
Is Amazing 🤩
Truly the “Queen of Pop”. I was suppose to grow up & be her when Lucky Star came out, IDK what happened. She keeps me inspired to stay in some sort of shape
right on

She carrys the power of nature herself❤
Madonna has tackled just about every musical genre on the planet and has made it look and sound effortless. A TRUE artist and one of a kind.
And the choreoooo 😱😱😍😍
Everytime I listen to Beyonce's new song Texas hold 'em, it reminds me of this song
At 2:15 when she starts dancing with the cowboys is probably my favorite minute of any music video, anywhere.
They are all gay but they danced there ass of in this song..
She killed that
I like it too, especially 3:12 😀
Ever noticed she steps on her backup dancer's foot at 3:12? She even looks over and tries not to laugh.
nailed it on the nail that nailed it... if that makes sense.
It’s 24 years old song but still sounds fresh
She did this on award show and it was awesome
Great music doesn't age
'coz she's trying to sound more Karen Carpenter than Minnie Mouse.
omg is it really 22 years? Time does fly
@@professormause Hahahaha! 😆
Still the best country/pop music blend ever!!
I love that coreography.
This is very nostalgic to me. I remember listening to this on the MTV channel. I was sick, off school, and my older cousin was looking after me. She was doing her university work and i was watching TV thinking, wow Madonna looks gorgeous here. Love this song, its meaning, and Madonna's look. Will always take me back to simple times of less worries, my adolescent years and just enjoying good music. Beautiful song. ❤

2000: "Is the CD skipping?" 2020: "Is the video buffering?"
Ahhh this is the best comment
Lol because I was wondering ! I was like my service SUCKS !
The video could have been buffering in 2000 also
Back in 2000 one Walmart returned their copies cause they thought they were all skipping
1978...the record just skipped really bad then magically popped right back into the track.
This is my favorite video from Madonna and one of my favorite songs from her as well. Love the song, love the choreography, love the visuals, love her look, love the dancers (all 4 are absolutely stunning).
I'm definitely voting for this song, This is my favourite Madonna song for sure, 😊 I take it you're voting for this one as well 👍🏾
@@gohondon1981I love the choreography and the video is so different. ❤❤❤
Spot on
♥️
Cowboy Carter made me revisit this legendary track
Facts just to see how it's supposed to be done... This is a classic by a none country singer, Madonna was so smooth and organic with it I would've bought a album by her if she pursued it, Beyonce's introduction feels "forced" I can't describe the feeling
@@TheRealBabylonian the lyrics for Hold em Texas was so horrible
Madonna's most badass tune and video. Hands down. She looked great during this time, too.
Deserved some awards for best video : MTV, Grammy's
Super hot

I came here to write a very similar comment. Madonna was her absolute hottest during her career and it was her musical peak. This song and music video is her greatest.

I like when she's just walking.
Soo good. Top 3 of her greatest choreos
Righttttttt?
Its amazing ❤
The music production behind this track (and many others Madonna did) is insane. That groove with the bass and kick swing and patterns, the break in the vocals, the synthesizers and ending with this cinematic cello. Superb
well said! couldnt agree more!
it brings by brain trough a lot of emotions never feeled that I 'll never really understand..
Pedro, Chico, we need a tutorial to break it down . you appear to know exactly how its made. Meanwhile i nearly snapped a hip trying to dance.

Well, to be fair Madonna did study dancing for years when she was a teenager, so she had some experience before Janet, but overall both are greatly talented.
she is such a great singer!!

Madonna, tú siempre serás la reina, mami. ❤
Can we just talk about how she ABSOLUTELY SLAYS the choreo?!!!!
I like that she let the male cowboys dance. Hadnt seen it before and i was a kid
Great Great choregraphy... each millimeters perfect... that is a great work for a great song
Soms of her best dancing
Ok, Country line dancing for your NERVES!
Btw Jamie King was the Choreographer he would later stage her live shows as Artistic Director.

Reina del pop❤
A Master Piece, and this woman is still today mindblowing
This song never goes out of style-20 years later, it’s still groovin’ Plus, no auto tune! Singers actually had to sing.
i hate to break it to you but this album has a lot of moments of auto tune! it was invented in 97’ :) still such an incredible record
No auto tune?!!!!!!!!!! LOL The song is great and using auto tune is not the crime most people think but saying that she doesn't use it, even back then, is hilarious
This song has one of the most beautiful endings ever. Wish there was a version with a prolonged ending.
I agree, I’ve always loved it…found it so peaceful ❤️
Do you of the cowboy taking his clothes off? Yeah. Me, too.
agree!
There is a longer version.
I say the same, I specifically love the end of this song.
I can't get enough of those dance moves. Particularly when they all jump in around Madonna 'out' from the background into the foreground. Such smooth movements & choreography; I love it.
She is a lion, nobody dooms a lion❤
