| its about giving head clearly, but 'deaderos' has a good point about relating it to religion and things.. which is kind of ironic, no? you have to realize this song came out in her transition from marilyn monroe to madonna manson and right near the 'fuck the black jesus' stage.. | |

| Yeah i agree, it's basically about all the negative criticism she gets. Hate her or love her she's still going to do her thing. :) | |

| I agree, I've always thought this song was about a blowjob. The music video is completely just to throw people off. | |

| Holy shit! I thought it was a blowjob too!...and my friend was telling me that it was a religious experience, but then if it really was a prayer it would be "A Prayer" not "Like A Prayer"...you see? the "like" is the key. Oh yeah, the Rufio cover is rad. | |

| Dizzychick: I think it's awfully synicial to suspect a front with religion, but anythings possable... I know what it's like to feel the power when im at prayer, and i know what it feels like to have chemicials in your brain going 90 to nothing over another person, i think she is full of faith, and isnt such a materealistic girl as she seems to be.... | |

| This song is about having sex. By down on my knees she means shes begging, she wants to get him off. | |

| so glad im the first to comment cuz i love this song. this is the perfect song to close COADF. its basically her F-U song. ithe lyrics are basically self-explanitory. I think she made this song to shoot back at her critics from American Life and kinda her whole career cuz she's still here. | |

| It's probably her first good song, with the possible exception of Papa Don't Preach. | |

| i'm with awakenpunk. Aside from that one line in the chorus, there's no indication that it's about blowjobs. So basically you're focussing on a single line and ignoring everything else. Just because Madonna's a slut doesn't mean ALL her songs are about sex. | |

| okay. believe what you want about this song. but i STRONGLY doubt it's about blowjobs. anyway - this song is the one that got me into singing. i really can't believe that some people are so immature to believe that this is about giving head. *shakes head* | |

| I also agree that the blowjob reference is ridiculous. she's relating her love experience to a religious one, and when she's on her knees (ie praying) she wants us to feel that experience. | |
