“Faith” by George Michael lyrics.
Well, I think it would be good if I could touch your body
I know not everyone has a body like yours
But I have to think twice before I give up my heart
And I know all the games you play because I play them too
Oh, but I need some time away from that feeling
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh, when that love comes down without devotion
Well, it takes a strong man, kid
But I show you the door
‘Cause I must have faith
I must have faith
‘Cause I gotta trust, trust, f—
I got to trust, trust, trust
Baby, I know you’re begging me to stay
Say, “Please, please, please don’t go away”
You say I’m giving you the blues
Maybe, huh, you mean every word you say
Can’t help but think of yesterday
And who bound me to the rules of a loverboy
Before this river became an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh, oh baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me
But I will wait for something more
Yes, I should have faith
Oh, I should have faith
Because I have faith, faith, faith
I must have faith, faith, faith
I just have to wait
Because I must have faith
I must have faith
I have to get, have to have, have to believe
Before this river became an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor (I just gotta believe)
Oh, oh baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me
But I will wait for something more
‘Cause I must have faith
Oh, I should have faith
Because I have faith, faith, faith
I must have faith, faith, faith
