Lyrics

Should have left you standing right where you stood

Should have let you go

Should have had the sense to know

Like a train you'd come

And I'd lose my place

Now I'm on this trip

I took a fall from grace

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

From the look of love

From the eyes of pride

Nowhere to go

No place to run

From the look of love

Now I've come undone

I've had a map laid out

From the day I was born

But the roads are blocked

And the paper is worn

And all the books I've read

And the things I know

Never taught me to laugh

Never taught to let go

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

From the look of love

From the eyes of pride

Nowhere to go

No place to run

From the look of love

Now I've come undone

My conscience is clear, I know right from wrong

That's a lie, I know nothing except that you're gone

But there's more to learn from the look in your eyes

That trip round this world, the stars in the sky

Now all the books I've read

And the things I know

Never taught me to live

Never taught me to let go

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

From the look of love

From the eyes of pride

Nowhere to go

No place to run

From the look of love

Now I've come undone

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

From the look of love

Lord knows I've tried

Nowhere to go

No place to run

From the look of love

Now I've come undone

(Nowhere to hide)

(No place to run)

(Nowhere to hide)

(No place to run)

(Nowhere to hide)

Video

There was no official video to support the single release of The Look Of Love.

Tour

This song brought a great intimate moment to the Who's That Girl Tour. Madonna is all alone in the spotlight. As she's walking around on stage, she seems completely lost, like Niki when she strolls alone through the city (in the movie). At the end she's struggling against the conveyor belt that in the end takes her along.
