how high

Madonna

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?

It's funny, I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about
I did it, just about everything to see my name in lights
Was it all worth it? And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect, I guess I deserve it

[Chorus:]
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?
Will any of this matter?

It's funny how everybody mentions my name, they're never very nice
I took it, just about everything except my own advice
Was it all worth it? And how did I earn it?
Nobody's perfect, I guess I deserve it

[Chorus]

How high, does it make a difference?
Nothing lasts forever
Should I, will it matter when I'm gone?
Will any of this matter?

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I'm gone?

[Chorus]

How high are the stakes?
(How high, does it make a difference?)
Nothing lasts forever
Does this get any better?
Should I carry on?
(Should I, will it matter when I?m gone?)
Does it make a difference?
Will any of this matter?
How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I?m gone?

How high are the stakes?
How much fortune can you make?
Should I carry on?
Will it matter when I?m gone?
