Fastlove

George Michael

Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get... gotta get up!
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get... gotta get up!
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down

Oh, oh, baby, baby
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Oh, oh, 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

Oh, oh, baby, baby
Ooh, yeah yeah
Oh, oh, baby, baby
What's there to think about, baby?
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Hey baby, oh yeah
Oh, oh, 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

Oh, oh, baby, baby
Ooh, yeah yeah
Oh, oh, baby, baby
What's there to think about, baby?
Oh, oh, baby, baby
Get yourself some lessons in love
Oh, oh, baby, baby

Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
So close
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
I can taste it now baby
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
So close
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down

In the absence of security
I made my way into the night
Stupid Cupid keeps on calling me (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

Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Oh yeah
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Oh yeah
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down
Oh yeah
Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down

Looking for some affirmation, 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

    General CommentReally, 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! :'(

    General CommentI 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

    General Commentthis 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.

    General CommentThe 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.

    General Commentwrong 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

    General CommentThis song is pretty funky. It made me think twice about ol' boy, George. Funkier than I would have thought he was capable of. Its pretty straightforward. Some people don't want to chat about the weather, or what's on tv, or what they did at work. Some people just want to look someone else in the eye and know that they're wanted and accepted.

    Of course part of this song is about how we fill our emotional void with physical experiences. And thats a defense mechanism, and sometimes it's not all bad. Sometimes it's the medicine you need. Don't cry about the girl you loved who dumped you for no reason. Go have a fling with one who likes you, don't complicate things unless the need to be. Get yourself a lesson in love. I can dig it.

    inlieu..i'm not sure G. Mikey is exactly the marrying type.. ;)*snurkle*
