Fastlove Lyrics

(Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Ooh ooh, baby baby)

Looking for some education
Made my way into the night
All that bullshit conversation
Baby, can't you read the signs?

I won't bore you with the details, baby
I don't even wanna waste your time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right

But if you're looking for fast love
If that's love in your eyes, it's more than enough
Had some bad love
Some fast love, is all that I've got on my mind

(Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Ooh, yeah yeah (ooh ooh, baby baby)
What's there to think about, baby?
(Ooh ooh, baby baby) hey baby, oh yeah (ooh ooh, baby baby)

Looking for some affirmation, made my way into the sun
My friends got their ladies, they're all having babies
But I just wanna have some fun

I won't bore you with the detail, baby
You gotta get there in your own sweet time
Let's just say that maybe, you could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right

But if you're looking for fast love
That's love in your eyes, it's more than enough
Had some bad love
Some fast love, is all that I've got on my mind

(Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Ooh, yeah yeah (ooh ooh, baby baby)
What's there to think about, baby?
(Ooh ooh, baby baby) get yourself some lessons (ooh ooh, baby baby)

So close I can taste it now baby
So close

In the absence of security, I made my way into the night
Stupid Cupid keeps on calling me
And I see lovin' in his eyes
I miss my baby, oh yeah
I miss my baby tonight
So why don't we make a little room in my BMW, babe
Searchin' for some peace of mind
Hey, I'll help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing the same religion

Oh, you really oughta get up now, that's right
Oh, you really oughta get up

Looking for some affirmation
(Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down

Cover art for Fastlove lyrics by George Michael

there's fastlove part II also. it's in george michael upper album, a 2nd cd with Older. it's special edition you can get off amazon i think

Really, I didn't know there was a II!!!?? One of my favourites upbeat tracks ever! Of course it's about casual sex, but it's still so well written that it's just exquisite! I adore the "so why don't we make a little room in my BMW...." And the "I do believe that we are practising the same religion"...I even used to quote that! haha And the "I miss my baby..." The guy has physical needs, but still can't get that person out of mind, like happens to everyone who isn't over someone so important to us! :'(

I lOVE this song! Just so funky!

Honestly I think it's about not wanting all of the emotional crap in a relationship. What he wants is just a pure physical relationship

Cover art for Fastlove lyrics by George Michael

this song is an absolute classic....it's not so well known though so some dont really know about it...but yeah, it's str8 forward, a guy was in a committed relationship, didn’t work out and now he just wants to not worry about love (and have a good ol time) – like lots of people who come out of a failed relationship, he's looking for a shallow escape from his heartbreak. classic lines include "in the absence of security, I made my way into the night" and "I miss my baby, tonight / so why don’t we make a little room in my BMW" and of course "had some bad love / so fast love is all that's on my mind". i love how it also sounds like he's trying to recruit someone else and save that person from the heartache and complexity of relationships.

The song is an amazing song!! The song is clearly about his sexuality "i do believe that we are practicing the same religion". He wants fast love, he just wants sex wherever whenever with whomever. "make a little room in my BMW babe".. It's pretty obvious. The whole albums about change, and more importantly accepting change.

wrong lyrics

in the absence of security I made my way into the night stupid cupid keeps on calling me but I see nothing in his eyes

It's nothing in his eyes not lovin' in his eyes.

and the song is about cruising

@Serafina Pekkala This lyric is almost always wrong on lyric sites. Good catch. The irony is that “lovin’” is exactly the opposite of what he’s looking for!

Cover art for Fastlove lyrics by George Michael

This song acknowledges how George Michael dealt with the grief of his first partner, Anselmo Feleppa who died of HIV/AIDS in 1993 ("I miss my baby, oh yeah. I miss my baby, tonight") sung in such an anguished way and he dealt with that grief by endless one night stands over a 3 yr period ("Baby, I ain't Mr Right. But if your looking for fast love, if that's love in your eyes. It's more than enough") Ironically he would meet his next partner, Kenny Goss in 1996, the same year that his album "Older" and one of its hit singles, "Fastlove" came out. While this song, to some, seems like an exultation of having one night stands with no commitment, to me, it's really about dealing with grief, by trying to feel nothing at all but temporary relief. ("Stupid cupid keeps on calling me. And I see loving in his eyes") To be honest, I didn't much care for it when it first came out, but over the years, it's grown on me & now I love it.
