Lyrics

Ain't no big deal to say I love you still

Call out my name, I'll be here

Ain't no big deal to say my love is real

When you reach out I'll be there

Please don't be afraid to look me in the eye

Sad time is gone, I got no tears to cry

So don't so say you don't know I'm right

When I say we'll get by

Ain't no big deal to say I love you still

Call out my name, I'll be here

Ain't no big deal to say my love is real

When you reach out I'll be there

Nobody makes me feel the way that you do

Night time's such a thrill when I spend it with you

Ask me what is on my mind

So I can tell you true

Ain't no big deal, my love is for real

I love you still

Ain't no big deal, my love is for real

Ain't no big deal, I love you still

Ain't no big deal, my love is for real

Baby I love you still

Ain't no big deal, my love is for real

Ain't no big deal, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Ain't no big thing, uh, uh, uh, uh

I said

Ain't no big deal, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Ain't no big thing, uh, uh, uh, uh

Please don't be afraid to look me in the eye

Sad time is gone, I got no tears to cry

Don't so say you don't know I'm right

When I say we'll get by

Ain't no big deal, my love is for real

I love you still

Ain't no big deal, my love is for real

Ain't no big deal, I love you still

Ain't no big deal, my love is for real

Baby I love you still

Ain't no big deal, my love is for real

Ain't no big deal, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Ain't no big thing, uh, uh, uh, uh

Ain't no big deal, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Ain't no big thing, uh, uh, uh, uh

Reach out, reach out

I'll be there, yeah, oh yeah

Reach out, reach out

I'll be there, yeah

I'll be right by your side

Reach out, reach out

I'll be there, yeah, oh yeah

Reach out, reach out

I'll be there, yeah

Song

In the early 80s Madonna and Steve Bray recorded a few demo's. A few would be used on Madonna's first album, others appeared on the albums 'Pre-Madonna' and 'In The Beginning' several years later.

Madonna's first contract with Sire Records wasn't for an album, but for two singles. Ain't No Big Deal was first chosen as the first single release with Everybody as a B-single. But at that time there was a discussion about who would produce the track; either Steve Bray or Mark Kamins. In the end Steve Bray sold the rights of the song to July Fourth Music. Some discogroup called Barracuda recorded their own version of 'Ain't No Big Deal', before Sire Records had the chance to release Madonna's version. So they dropped Ain't No Big Deal as a single and opted for Everybody instead.

In 1986 Reggie Lucas produced the song as a B-single for True Blue (in the US) and Papa Don't Preach (outside the US).

Because of these different productions, there are different versions of the song. Anyway, the lyrics on the left are those from the version I got! :-)
