Credit Card Baby Lyrics
You said that you loved me,
And I thought that it was true.
You said that you needed me,
And baby I believed that too.
I thought that you were shy,
But you put me straight with a wink of your eye.
I should've known better,
Put my hands in my pockets every time I see you cry.
People think you're just so sweet,
But they don't know you quite like I do.
I guess they think that I'm a lucky guy,
But you're not fooling everybody.
[Chorus]
You can have my credit card baby,
But keep your red hot fingers off of my heart lady.
All I know is what I see,
You're getting what you want and girl it ain't just me.
No matter how you cry,
I'm not giving any love away...
Do you think I'm crazy?
All I know is what I see,
And what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me baby?
Don't say that you love me,
Because I know that it's not true.
Just tell me you need my money,
Girl you know I'll give it to you.
Between the ocean and the sky
There are things that you can't buy.
And if you look you'll see
One of them is me.
Take you hands out of my pockets
Digging till the day you die.
People think you're just so sweet,
But they don't know you quite like I do.
I guess they think that I'm a lucky guy,
But you're not fooling anybody.
[Chorus]
These are the things that you've made for yourself,
You've gotta take your opportunities or stay on the shelf.
You've gotta stay
Oh yeah,
Well, that's OK
It's just a game that we play.
No matter how you cry,
I'm not giving any love away.
Do you think I'm crazy?
All I know is what I see,
And what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me baby?
And I thought that it was true.
You said that you needed me,
And baby I believed that too.
But you put me straight with a wink of your eye.
I should've known better,
Put my hands in my pockets every time I see you cry.
But they don't know you quite like I do.
I guess they think that I'm a lucky guy,
But you're not fooling everybody.
You can have my credit card baby,
But keep your red hot fingers off of my heart lady.
All I know is what I see,
You're getting what you want and girl it ain't just me.
No matter how you cry,
I'm not giving any love away...
Do you think I'm crazy?
All I know is what I see,
And what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me baby?
Because I know that it's not true.
Just tell me you need my money,
Girl you know I'll give it to you.
There are things that you can't buy.
And if you look you'll see
One of them is me.
Take you hands out of my pockets
Digging till the day you die.
But they don't know you quite like I do.
I guess they think that I'm a lucky guy,
But you're not fooling anybody.
You've gotta take your opportunities or stay on the shelf.
You've gotta stay
Oh yeah,
Well, that's OK
It's just a game that we play.
I'm not giving any love away.
Do you think I'm crazy?
All I know is what I see,
And what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me baby?

Michael drew his inspiration from his life. This is about the early days of Wham!, more specifically George Michael's relationship with Pat Fernandes. In the song the singer, as generous as he is, didn't regret having bought "the lady" what she had asked for, but all the same he knew she was using him.
[Edit: edited for punctuation]
How in God's name is Pat Hernandez a model. Is that for plus size? George must have lost his mind dating her. George was really smart getting rid of her.
For some reason he had terrible taste in women. Maybe because he was shy and went with anything that was easy. Not Brooke Sheilds she was very beautiful. But not George's type. No wonder he was gay dating those two woman, Pat, and Linda.
