Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

George Michael was a globally acclaimed British singer, songwriter, and record producer, celebrated for his soulful voice, versatile musicality, and impactful songwriting. His career, both as a solo artist and as part of the duo Wham!, spanned several decades and garnered immense commercial success and critical recognition. 

Born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou in East Finchley, London, Michael first rose to prominence in the early 1980s as one half of the pop duo Wham!, alongside Andrew Ridgeley. Wham! achieved massive international fame with hits like "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," "Careless Whisper," and "Last Christmas." The duo's energetic performances and catchy tunes made them a global phenomenon.

Following the amicable split of Wham! in 1986, George Michael launched a highly successful solo career. His debut solo album, "Faith" (1987), was a monumental achievement, selling millions worldwide and yielding five top-five singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including the title track "Faith," "Father Figure," "One More Try," "Monkey," and "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" (a duet with Aretha Franklin). The album cemented his status as a global superstar, blending pop, soul, R&B, and rock influences.

Throughout his solo career, Michael continued to release critically lauded and commercially successful music. His 1990 album "Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1" showcased a more mature and introspective artistic direction, featuring hits like "Freedom! '90" and "Praying for Time." "Older" (1996) was another significant album, exploring themes of love, loss, and spirituality, and included the hit single "Jesus to a Child."

Michael was known for his distinctive vocal style, adept songwriting, and his willingness to tackle social and personal issues in his music. He also collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including Aretha Franklin, Elton John, and Mary J. Blige. His musical influences ranged from soul and R&B legends to jazz and pop artists.

George Michael's career was marked by significant achievements, including multiple Grammy Awards, Brit Awards, and American Music Awards. Despite facing personal challenges and controversies, his artistry and music remained a constant source of inspiration for millions. His legacy as one of the most influential and beloved artists of his generation endures.

Lyrics

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

I will be your father figure
(oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine
(i'd love to)
I will be your preacher teacher
(be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind
(it would make me)
I will be your 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"

Lyrics

Ah, ha, ha
Oh-oh, yeah
'Til you work

Somebody told me
"Boy, everything she wants is everything she sees"
I guess I must have loved you
Because I said you were the perfect girl for me
Baby, and now we're six months older
And everything you want, and everything you see
Is out of reach, not good enough
I don't know what the hell you want from me, oh

Uh-huh, uh-huh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ah-ha, ah-ha, doo-doo-doo
La, la, la, la, la
Uh-huh, uh-huh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ah-ha, ah-ha, doo-doo-doo
La, la, la, la, la

Somebody tell me, oh
Won't you tell me?
Why I work so hard for you
Give you money
Work to give you money (oh)

Some people work for a living
Some people work for fun
Girl, I just work for you
They told me marriage was a give-and-take
Well, you've shown me you can take, you've got some giving to do
And now you tell me that you're having my baby
I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to
But one step further and my back will break
If my best isn't good enough, then how can it be good enough for two?

Uh-huh, uh-huh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ah-ha, ah-ha, doo-doo-doo
I can't work any harder than I do (la, la, la, la, la)

Uh-huh, uh-huh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ah-ha, ah-ha, doo-doo-doo
La, la, la, la, la

Somebody tell me, oh
Won't you tell me?
Why I work so hard for you
Give you money (oh)
Work to give you money (oh)

Aw, why do I do the things I do?
Tell you if I knew
My god, I don't even think that I love you (la, la, la, la, la)

Won't you tell me?
Give you money
Work to give you money (oh-ah)

Ah, oh, yeah
Tell me
Tell me

How could you settle for a boy like me
When all I could see was the end of the week?
All the things we sign, and the things we buy
Ain't gonna keep us together, it's just a matter of time
My situation never changes walking in and out of that door
Like a stranger for the wages
I give you all, you say you want more

And all I could see was the end of the week
All the things we sign, and the things we buy
Ain't gonna keep us together
Girl, it's just a matter of time

Work, work
Work, work
La, la, la, la, la (just a matter of)

Uh-huh, uh-huh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ah-ha, ah-ha, doo-doo-doo
La, la, la, la, la

Somebody tell me, oh
Won't you tell me? (Somebody)
Why I work so hard for you
Give you money (oh)

Work to give you money (oh)
Somebody tell me, whoa-oh
Won't you tell me?
Why I work so hard for you
Give you money (oh)
Work to give you money (oh)

Somebody tell me
Won't you tell me? (Oh, please tell me...)
Why I do the things that I do
Give you money
Work to give you money (oh)

Lyrics

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me
Please stay

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Was what I did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
