Lyrics of
Faith

Faith was written and produced by George Michael. Released in 1987, it was the lead single from his debut solo album of the same name, Faith. The song reflects Michaels desire to create a work that would serve as a declaration of his musical style and identity, significantly diverging from his previous work with Wham!. Faith combines elements of rocknroll with an upbeat pop sound, and its iconic music video, featuring George Michael in a leather ... jacket and sunglasses, along with the catchy guitar riff, helped the song to achieve massive global success. The lyrics discuss the need to have faith in love and life amid uncertainties. See more [+]

Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too

Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door

Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more

Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith


Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more

Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
