Like a moth to a flame enters the chat

It's always been interesting to me how much she seems to reference her previous work in her new work. Some are blatant and obvious like the end of Deeper and Deeper using the same outro lyrics as the outro lyrics from Vogue. "Let your body move to the music, let your body go with the flow".  Other times it can be a bit more subtle or not recognized. Like her reusing the lyrics from Love Song on Hung Up. "Time goes by so slowly for those who wait and those who run seem to have all the fun"

"I've just woke up from a fuzzy dream" was a lyric shared by both Miles Away and Broken, that were written around the same time. Much probably M was still trying to save her marriage so that's why she picked MA over Broken for Hard Candy tracklist.

"Like a moth to a flame" is a very common English idiom which means "completely involved to."

There's more than that. "Fuzzy dream" appear on Broken also. She loves to have fuzzy dreams. 

Tell me you haven't read me...

From Into The Groove:

You've got to
Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me

From Open Your Heart:

Don't try to run
I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying
You've got to
Open your heart to me, baby

From Express Yourself:

Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know you've got to
Make him express how he feels and maybe
Then you'll know your love is real

Ooh, you've got to
Let your body move to the music
Ooh, you've got to just
Let your body go with the flow

From Beat Goes On:

Say what you like, do what you feel
You know exactly who you are
The time is right now
You've got to decide
(ok, this last is a bit of a stretch LOL)

Okay, this one is not about identical phrases word for word, but about an action itself:

Spanish Eyes:

I light this candle and watch it throw
Tears on my pillow
And if there is a Christ, he'll come tonight
To pray for Spanish eyes

Erotic:

Light the candles
Until they're nice and soft
And when they start to drip
I'm going to get you off

Messiah:

I'll light a candle here in the dark
Making my way to your heart
I'll cast a spell that you can't undo
'Til you wake up and you find
