To Have And Not To Hold
Madonna
Ray Of Light [1998]

Lyrics:
To have and not to hold
So hot, yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way

To love but not to keep
To laugh, not to weep
Your eyes, they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay

Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have, not to hold

To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all
To break my fall

Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have, not to hold

You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold

Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have, not to hold

You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold
To break my heart

This is her best album, in my humble opinion. She was caught up in the majesty of being a mom and finding peace in her daily worship. She was balanced and thriving.

I am actually surprised to find so few recent comments about this masterpiece here. What a mesmerising song it is and always will be.

I love the chanting of "abahu purusakaram" throughout the song, not only is it part of Shanti, but it's a really nice touch in this song

IMO, her most beautiful song ever, so tender, so sensual, so beautiful. Also her best album by far...

When I was 13 I bought this Album and I fell in love with it and now at 34 to this date I still am. I love you Madonna.

Where do I start on expressing how undervalaued this song is. It's relevance is eternal. Unrequited love or losing love. So beautifully sung and the melody has wings.

Omg. Madonna has so many hits. Haters can hate but she has been one of the most productive stars ever. She truly deserves to be the Queen of Pop.

'To kiss but never be

and theres no one at all to break my fall.'


Such an impossible feeling and so perfectly put into words, song, music.


A masterpiece.

One of my favorite song on "Ray of Light" if not THE favorite. Deep, hypnotizing and with a intricate message.

This song says something very sad. Is a cycle without end. The person always attracts you and you can never have her. In the end, you will again go straight to her... And only you to blame.

My mum introduced me and my dad to this album last year after playing it in its entirely over three months. I was crying the first time I heard Drowned World/Substitute For Love. Now, I love her music and this album is one of my all time favourites.

I haven't heard this song in ages and just yesterday i heard it on my class of yoga and it was magical we were all moving to the rhythm of the song synchronized, such a beautiful imagery, indescribable with words. We touched heaven.

Madonna at her best during this period.
