I have a tale to tell Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well I was not ready for the fall Too blind to see the writing on the wall A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned Till then, it will burn inside of me I know where beauty lives I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives The light that you could never see It shines inside, you can't take that from me A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned Till then, it will burn inside of me The truth is never far behind You kept it hidden well If I live to tell the secret I knew then Will I ever have the chance again? If I ran away, I'd never have the strength to go very far How would they hear the beating of my heart? Will it grow cold, the secret that I hide? Will I grow old? How will they hear? When will they learn? How will they know? A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned Till then, it will burn inside of me The truth is never far behind You kept it hidden well If I live to tell the secret I knew then Will I ever have the chance again? A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned Till then, it will burn inside of me

A música foi originalmente composta como uma instrumental por Patrick Leonard para o filme Fire with Fire, mas foi rejeitada pela Paramount, fazendo com que Madonna a adaptasse para o drama de crimes At Close Range, no qual eleita marido ao tempo, Sean Penn, atuava.
Lançada como o single de abertura do álbum True Blue, a faixa marcou historicamente como a primeira música de Madonna a atingir o número um na parada Adult Contemporary dos Estados Unidos.
O videoclipe apresenta uma produção minimalista, mostrando Madonna sozinha em um estúdio escuro intercalado com cenas do filme At Close Range.
Durante a turnê Confessions Tour de 2006, Madonna se apresentou suspensa em uma cruz espelhada usando uma coroa de espinhos, ato que gerou forte condenação de líderes religiosos que a acusaram de blasfêmia.
Madonna defendeu a performance controversa de 2006 afirmando que o objetivo era destacar o sofrimento das crianças afetadas pela AIDS na África.
