Like a virginThis song performed by Madonna is a confessional in which Madonna talks about being in love. She uses the simile " Like a virgin" in which she compares falling in love to being like a virgin because its her first time being in love. You can tell that this song is directed toward her love interest because she talks about how warm he makes her feel and about hearing his heartbeat next to hers.I chose this song because i thought that comparison of her being in love for the first time to being a virgin was very interesting. I like this comparison because its easy to understand her feelings about being in love for the first time and she even goes on to say how she felt like a new person. I can make the assumption that she is happy to be in love because she is giving all her heart to this love interest similar to when a women gives all herself to her partner and loses her virginity.Also in other verses throughout her song she says plainly without any literary technique that he makes her feel good inside and she will be his to the end of time. Overall,the message of this song was easy to grasp and I enjoy both the lyrics and music to this song.
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats (after first time, with your heartbeat)
Next to mine
Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you

The songs need to be rap songs.
