well I guess it would be nice
if I could touch your body
I know not everybody
has got a body like you

but I've got to think twice
before I give my heart away
and I know all the games you play
because I play them too

oh but I
need some time off from that emotion
time to pick my heart up off the floor
and when that love comes down
without devotion
well it takes a strong man baby
but I'm showing you the door
'cause I've gotta have faith

baby
I know you're asking me to stay
say please please please don't go away
you say I'm giving you the blues
maybe
you mean every word you say
can't help but think of yesterday
and another one who tied me down to
loverboy rules

before this river becomes an ocean
before you throw my heart back on the floor
oh baby I reconsider
my foolish notion
well I need someone to hold me
but I'll wait for something more

yes I've gotta have faith...

(George Michael)

. . .



that's all I wanted
something special, something sacred-
in your eyes
for just one moment
to be bold and naked
at your side

sometimes I think that you'll never
understand me
maybe this time is forever
say it can be

that's all you wanted
something special, someone sacred-
in your life
just for one moment
to be warm and naked
at my side

sometimes I think that you'll never
understand me
but something tells me together
we'd be happy

chorus
(baby)
I will be your father figure
(oh baby)
put your tiny hand in mine
(I'd love to)
I will be you preacher teacher
(be your daddy)
anything you have in mind
(it would make me)
I will be you father figure
(very happy)
I have had enough of crime
(please let me)
I will be the one who loves you-
until the end of time

that's all I wanted
bu sometimes love can be mistaken
for a crime
that's all I wanted
just to see my baby's
blue eyed shine
this time I think that my lover
understands me
if we have faith in each other
then we can be
strong

chorus

if you are the desert
I'll be the sea
if you ever hunger
hunger for me
whatever you ask for
that's what I'll be...

so when you remember the ones who have lied
who said that they cared
but then laughed when you cried
beautiful darling
don't think of me

because all I ever wanted
it's in you eyes baby, baby
and love can't lie, no...
(greet me with the eyes of a child)
my love is always telling me so...
(heaven is a kiss and a smile)
just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby

chorus

I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I'll be your daddy
I will be the one who loves you
until the end of time

(George Michael)

rhythm 1 Lust
there's things that you guess
and things that you know
there's boys you can trust
and girls that you don't
there's little things you hide
and little things that you show
sometimes you think you're gonna get it
but you don't and that's just the way it goes

I swear I won't tease you
won't tell you no lies
I don't need no bible
just look in my eyes
I've waited so long baby
now that we're friends
every man's got his patience
and here's where mine ends

I want your sex
I want you
I want your...sex

it's playing on my mind
it's dancing on my soul
it's taken so much time
so why don't you just let me go
I'd really like to try
when you tell me you're gonna regret it
then I tell you that I love you but you still say NO!

I swear I won't tease you
won't tell you no lies
I don't need no bible
just look in my eyes
I've waited so long baby
out in the cold
I can't take much more girl
I'm losing control

it's natural
it's chemical (let's do it)
it's logical
habitual (can we do it?)
it's sensual
but most of all...
sex is something we should do
sex is something for me and you

sex is natural-sex is good
nor everybody does it
but everybody should
sex is natural-sex is fun
sex is best when it's..    one on one
        one on one

I'm not your father
I'm not your brother
talk to your sister
I am a lover

c-c-c-c-come on

what's your definition of dirty baby
what do you consider pornography
don't you know I love you till it hurts me baby
don't you think it's time you had sex with me

what's your definition of dirty baby
what do you call pornography
don't you know I love you till it hurts me baby
don't you think it's time you had sex with me

sex with me
sex with me
have sex with me

c-c-c-c-come on

rythm 2 Brass in love
oh so much love
that you've never seen
let's make love
put your trust in me

don't you listen to what they told you
because I love you
let me hold you
oh

I'm not your brother
I'm not your father
oh will you ever change your mind
I'm a gentle lover with a heart of gold
but baby you've been so unkind

come on
I want your sex
come on
I want your sex
that's right, all night
oh I want your sex
I want your...sex

sexy baby's
sexy body
keeps me guessing
with a promise
I know we can come together
but the question is
will we ever?

sexy baby's
(sexy baby's)
sexy body
(sexy body)
keeps me guessing
with a promise
I know we can come together
but the question is
will we ever?

together-you and me

(George Michael)

I've had enough of danger
and people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
just trying to find some peace
now I think it's time
that you let me know
so if you love me
say you love me
but if you don't
just let me go...

chorus
'cos teacher
there are things
that I don't want to learn
and the last one I had
made me cry
so I don't want to learn to
hold you, touch you
think taht you're mine
because it ain't no joy
for an uptown boy
whose teacher has told him goodbye,
boodbye, goodbye

when you were just a stranger
and I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
now I feel the heat
that look in your eyes
telling me no
so you think that you love me
know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
just let me go...

chorus

so when you say that you need me
that you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're that strong
let me go

and teacher
there are things
that I still have to learn
but the one thing I have is my pride
oh so I don't want to
hold you, touch you
think that you're mine
because there ain't no joy
for an uptown boy
who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold
Inside
maybe just one more try

(George Michael)

DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN

I've never been one
for playing games
you can move your mouth forever
but the words sound just the same
something like
bang bang you're dead
couldn't we just make love instead
say yes because it's what we do best
and I've had such a hard day

take me where their eyes can't find us
without you I may as well just...

how much-do I have to say
what more-do you have to see
what will it take to make you love me
well you're not the first
you're not the last
you're not even the one who loves me best
but all I think about is you

take me where their eyes can't find us
without you I may as well just...

take me where their eyes can't find us
without you I may as well just...

DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN

please don't wander from my door

I've never been one
for playing games
you can move your mouth forever
but the words sound just the same
something like
bang bang you're dead
couldn't we just make love instead
say yes because it's what we do best
and I've had such a hard day

so don't bring me down
won't you give me break
somebody give me a break now!

DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN
DON'T BRING ME DOWN

sweet little boy with oh such a big mouth
harsh words can get you into hot water
when people don't understand you baby
I'm always here for you
and I
and I will never bring you down, down,
down my baby

trust me
I want you to trust me
oh trust me
'cause I won't bring you down
(don't bring me down)
I won't bring you down
do you trust me
yeah

(George Michael)

Jimmy Got Nothing made himself a name
with a gun that he polished for a rainy day
a smile and a quote from a vigilante movie
our boy Jimmy just blew them all away
he said it made him crazy
twenty five years living hand to mouth
hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

sweet little baby on a big white doorstep
she needs her mother but her mother is dead
jus another hooker that the lucky can forget
just another hooker
it happens everyday...
she loved her little baby
but she couldn't bare to see her living hand to mouth
hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

I believe in the gods of America
I believe in the land of the free
but no one told me
(no one told me)
that the gods believe in nothing
so with empty hands I pray
and from day to hopeless day
they still don't see me
(see me)

everybody talks about the new generation
jump on the wagon or they'll leave you behind
but no one gave a thought to the rest of the nation
"like to help you buddy, but I haven't got the time"
somebody shouted save me
but everybody started living hand to mouth
hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

there's a big white lady
on a big white doorstep
she asked her daddy and her daddy said "yes"
has to give a little for the dollars that we get
has to give a little-
they say it's for the best
somebody shouted
maybe
but they kept on living hand to mouth
hand to mouth, hand to mouth, hand to mouth

so she rans to the arms of America
and she kissed the powers taht be
and someone told me
(someone told me)
that the gods believe in nothing
so with empty hands I pray
and tell myself
one day
they just might see me...

(George Michael)

I loved you once
but look at you now
you're in someone else's bed
I loved you once
so I don't know how
you're with a man like that
you'd be better of dead
he don't care
he don't treat you right
it's not fair
I still want you at night
can't you see you made a mistake girl
he treats you like dirt and I hate it

chorus
na na na na na na lady look at your hands
you got two fat children and a drunken man
betcha don't, betcha don't like your life
betcha don't, betcha don't like it
ma ma ma ma baby look at your hands
you should have been my baby when you had the chance
betcha don't, betcha don't like your life
betcha don't, betcha don't like your life now

he hits you once
he hits you twice
he don't care about the blood on his hands
but that's OK
'cause it's his wife
"it's the only thing she understands" he says

say you're gonna leave hin
say you're gonna try
but you're only talking
oh I know you think I'm a young boy
but I'm good and I think we can make it

chorus
(don't like your guy now)

well excuse me baby but it's making me mad
the only one you want is the one you'll never have
it's so sad
the only one you'll never have
it's too bad
only one you'll never have

na na na na na na lady look at your hands
you've got two fat children and a drunken man
and I bet you don't like your life now

(George Michael)

chorus
why can't you do it?
why can't you set your monkey free?
always giving in to it-
do you love the monkey or do you love me?
why can't you do it?
why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?

oh I count to ten
but I don't know how and I don't know when
to open my eyes
if you kiss me again
like you just did now, like you just did then-
I've had the rest
now it's time I had the best
so you tell me that you won't do anymore

well I'd write your heart a letter
but i think you know me better
if I keep on askin' baby, maybe
I'll get what I'm askin' for

chorus

oh I hate your friends
but I don't know how and I don't know when
to open your eyes
yes the monkey's back again
do you want him now like you did back then?
I tried my best
but your head is such a mess
so I guess that I don't want you anymore

well you say you care about me
taht you just can't do without me
but you keep on dancin' baby
'til that monkey has you on the floor

chorus

don't look now
there's a monkey on your back
don't look now
there's a monkey on you...

(George Michael)

. . .



you are far
when I could have been your star
you listened to people
who scared you to death
and from my heart
strange that you were strong enough
to even make a start
but you'll never find
peace of mind
till you listen to your heart

chorus
people
you can never change the way the feel
better let them do just what they will
for they will
if you let them
steal your heart from you
people
will always make a lover feel a fool
but you knew I loved you
we could have shown them all
we should have seen love through

fooled me with the tears in your eyes
covered me with kisses and lies
so goodbye
but please don't take my heart

you are far
I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces
and mend my heart
maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
but I'll never find
peace of mind
while I listen to my heart

chorus

but remember this
every other kiss
that you'll ever give
long as we both live
when you need the hand of another man
one you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
like I always do
there's something there
that can't compare with any other

you are far
when I could have been your star
you listened to people
who scared you to death
and from my heart
strange that I was wrong enough
to think you'd love me too
I guess you were kissing a fool
you must have been kissing a fool

(George Michael)

. . .



it's late
time for bed
so I sit, and wait
for that gin and tonic
to go to your head

I know
it's a devious plan
but it's the only way that I know
to get those big bad carkeys
out of your habd

you know
that I remain a gentle man
but even so
there's only so much
a gentleman can stand
sleep with me
oh sleep with me tonight

my cards are on your table
my dreams are in your bed
if I was able
I'd be there instead

sleep with me tonight

(George Michael)
