Faith Lyrics

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 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 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...

I think it's about hanging out for something real - having faith that someone special is going to come along - rather than just settling for whoever is around just because you're lonely.

@highonsugar FULLY agree 100% esp. in reference to:

"Oh when that love comes down Without devotion Well it takes a strong man, baby But I'm showing you the door"

I dont think its about being IN a relationship..

I relate it to an ex wanting you back, trying to kiss you etc. and knocking her back, feeling tempted because youre lonely, but having faith that you can hold out for something better..

...Well it takes a strong man baby But I'm showing you the door....

featherfeat- i think its more like, he wanted someone to hold, but will wait for someone who will be something MORE than just... a body to be with.

You sing it George Michael! You gotta have faith! And a shitty relationship is not worth it just to have someone!

I was going through some stuff in a relationship not long after this came out and my friend MADE me listen to it and pay attention to the words...

Thankyou George Michael for saving me!! (Well, waking me up and bringing me to my senses and stuff anyway! :D)

I agree with princess*delilah, though I'm not sure if this songs fits into our world today, but it's great to visualise a place and time when courting and self control, were prioritised above tying another notch in your belt, or giving into lonelyness

This song is about having two women, one who the man loves, and the other who has sex with him but doesn't love him, and he's show the second one the door.

I just want to point out that the organ during the fade-in intro is playing the Wham! song "Freedom."
