Альбом Wham!

Chorus:
WHAM! BAM!
I AM! A MAN!
JOB OR NO JOB,
YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT I'M NOT.
DO! YOU!
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?
IF NOT, JUST STOP!
DON'T STAY THERE AND ROT!

You got soul....
You got soul....
I said get, get, get on down,
Said get, get, get, on down.
Hey everybody take a look at me,
I've got street credibility,
I may not have a job,
But I have a good time,
With the boys that I meet "down on the line"
I said, I - DON'T - NEED - YOU
So you don't approve,
Well who asked you to?
HEY - JERK - YOU - WORK
This boy's got better things to do
Hell,
I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt,
I choose, to cruise.
Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife,
I've found my groove and I just can't lose.
A.1. style from head to toe,
Cool cat flash gonna let you know,
I'm a soul boy - I'm a dole boy,
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy!

Chorus

Party nights, and neon lights,
We hit the floors, we hit the heights.
Dancing shoes, and pretty girls.
Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls!
Hot-damn! Everybody, let's play!
So they promised you a good job - NO WAY!

One, two, three, rap!
C'mon everybody, DON'T NEED THIS CRAP!

Chorus

IF YOU'RE A PUB MAN
OR A CLUB MAN
MAYBE A JET BLACK GUY WITH A HIP HI-FI
A WHITE COOL CAT WITH A TRILBY HAT
MAYBE LEATHER AND STUDS IS WHERE YOU'RE AT
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY
DON'T LET HARD TIMES STAND IN YOUR WAY
GIVE A WHAM GIVE A BAM BUT DON'T GIVE A DAMN
COS THE BENEFIT GANG ARE GONNA PAY!

Now reach up high and touch your soul,
The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal.
It's gonna break your mama's heart, (so sad)
It's gonna break your daddy's heart, (too bad)
But you'll throw the dice and take my advice,
Because I know that you're smart.
Can you dig this thing? - YEAH!
Are you gonna get down? - YEAH!
Say Wham! - WHAM!
Say Bam! - BAM!

Chorus

Do you want to work? - NO
Are you gonna have fun? - YEAH
Said one, two, three, rap, c'mon everybody,
DON'T NEED THIS CRAP!
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?
Everybody say Wham! - WHAM!
Everybody say Wham! Bam! - WHAM! BAM!
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?

Hey sucker
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker
(Now there's nothing you can do)

Well I hadn't seen your face around town awhile,
So I greeted you, with a knowing smile,
When I saw that girl upon your arm,
I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm.
I said "Soul Boy, let's hit the town!"
I said "Soul Boy, what's with the frown?"
But in return, all you could say was
"Hi George, meet my fiancee"

Young Guns,
Having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.
Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.
See me, single and free
No tears, no fears, what I want to be.
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!

Hey sucker,
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker!
(Now there's nothing you can do.)

A married man? you're out of your head
Sleepless nights, on an H.P. bed
A daddy by the time you're twenty-one
If your happy with a nappy then you're in for fun.
But you're here-
And you're there
Well there's guys like you just everywhere
Looking back on the good old days?
Well this young gun says CAUTION PAYS!

Chorus:
Young Guns,
Having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run.
Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties.
See me, single and free
No tears, no fears, what I want to be.
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!

I remember when he such fun and everything was fine,
I remember when we use to have a good time,
Partners in crime.
Tell me that's all in the past and I will gladly walk away,
Tell me that you're happy now,
Turning my back-
Nothing to say!

"Hey tell this jerk to take a hike,
There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like"
"Well sugar he don't mean the things he said"
"Just get him outta my way, 'cause I'm seeing red
We got plans to make, we got things to buy
And you're wasting time on some creepy guy"
"Hey shut up chick, that's a friend of mine,
Just watch your mouth babe, you're out of line"

OoooooH!

GET BACK
HANDS OFF
GO FOR IT!

Chorus

Woo-woo
Dear mummy, Dear Daddy,
You had plans forme, I was your only son.
And long before this baby boy could count to three,
You knew just what he would become.
Run along to school,
No child of mine grows up a fool,
Run along to school.
When you tried to tell me what to do,
I just shut my mouth and smiled at you,
One thing that I know for sure-

BAD BOYS
Stick together, never Sad Boys
GOOD GUYS
They made rules for fools, so get wise...

Dear Mummy, Dear Daddy,
Now I'm nineteen as you see,
I'm handsome, tall, and strong.
So what the hell gives you the right to look at me,
As if to say "Hell, what went wrong?"
Where were you last night?
You look as if you had a fight.
Where were you last night?
Well I think that you may just be right,
But don't try to keep me in tonight,
Because I'm big enough to break down the door.

BAD BOYS
Stick together, never Sad Boys
GOOD GUYS
They made rules for fools, so get wise...

Boys like you, are bad through and through.
Still, girls like me, always seem to be with you....
We can't help but worry,
You're in such a hurry,
Mixing with the wrong boys,
Playing with the wrong toys.
Easy girls,
And late nights,
Cigarettes, and love bites
Why do you have to be so cruel?
YOU'RE SUCH A FOOL

BAD BOYS
Stick together, never Sad Boys
GOOD GUYS
They made rules for fools, so get wise...

Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face,
Brush shoulders with the stars.
Where strangers take you by the hand,
And welcome you to wonderland -
From beneath their panamas...

Chorus:
Club Tropicana, drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine - there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan!

Castaways and Lovers meet,
Then kiss in Tropicana's heat,
Watch the waves break on the bay.
Soft white sands, a blue lagoon,
Cocktail time, a summer's tune,
A whole night's holiday!

Chorus

Pack your bags,
And leave tonight.
Don't take your time,
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight!
Cool, cool, cool, cool

Chorus

Cool, cool, cool, cool

Written by George Michael

Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug

You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high
When your loving starts
A jitterbug into my brain
It goes bang, bang, bang
Till my feet do the same

But something's bugging me
Something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
You left me sleeping in my bed
I was dreaming
But I should have been with you instead

Chorus:
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cos I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight

You put the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same

'Cos you're my lady I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on baby lets not fight
We'll go dancing
Everything wiil be alright

(Chorus)

Cuddle up baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there but it's warm in bed
They can dance We'll stay at home instead

(Repeat chorus to fade)

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

Should've known better

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 the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

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 your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Never without your love

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'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

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) What I did's so wrong
That you had to leave me alone

Written by George Michael

Every day I hear a different story
People say that you're no good for me
Sow you lover with another
She's making a fool of you
If you loved me baby, you'd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I'm a baby and I don't understand
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
As long as we're together
And you do

Chorus:
I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can't escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys
(Oh oh ...)
You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool
To give you all that I do
I bet you someday, baby
Someone says the same to you
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

Chorus:

You're hurting me, baby
You're hurting me, baby
Oh oh ...
You're hurting me, baby
You're hurting me, baby
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

Chorus:

I don't want your
I don't want your
I don't want your
I don't want your

To fade ...

Written by George Michael

Chorus:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (X2)

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognise me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas)

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

(Repeat chorus)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My god I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart (ooh, ooh)
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

(Repeat chorus X2)

(Gave you my heart)
(You gave me away)


(A face on a lover with a fire in his heart)
(A man undercover but you tore me apart)

(Maybe, next year)
(I'll give it to someone)
(I'll give it to someone special)


(I'll give it to someone)
(I'll give it to someone special)
Ooh, give me something in return
Hold my heart and watch it burn

(I'll give it to someone)
(I'll give it to someone special)

I thought you were here to stay
How can love be for a day?

(I thought you were someone special)

(Gave you my heart)

(I'll give it to someone)
(I'll give it to someone)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
You gave it away

(I'll give it to someone)
(I'll give it to someone)

Written by George Michael

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

Somebody tell me
(won't you tell me)
Why I work so hard for you
(To give you money, work to give you money)

Some people work for a living
Some people work for fun
Girl I just work for you
They told me marriage was give and take
Well you've shown me you can take
You've got some giving to do
And now you tell me that your 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

I can't work any harder than I do

Somebody tell me
(won't you tell me)
Why I work so hard for you
(To give you money, work to give you money)

Oh why do I do the things I do
I'd tell you if I knew
My God, I don't even think that I love you

(Won't you tell me)
(To give you money, work to give you money)

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

Written by George Michael

Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to baby
But I know, Uh-huh, that your sad
And I know I'll make you happy
With the one thing that you never had

Chorus:
Baby, I'm your man
Don't you know that?
Baby, I'm your man
You bet!
If you're gonna do it, do it right,
Right do it with me
If you're gonna do it, do it right,
Right do it with me
If you're gonna do it, do it right,
Right do it with me
If you're gonna do it, do it right,
Right do it with me

You're so good, you're divine
Wanna take you, wanna make you
But they tell me it's a crime! Oh
Everybody knows where the good people go
But where we're going baby
Ain't no such word as no

(Repeat chorus)

(Come on baby, yeah, ooh take me home,
please don't leave me here, to do it on my own....)

First class information
I'll be your sexual inspiration
And with some stimulation
We can do it right ..... Oh

So why waste time
With other guys?
When you can have mine
I ain't asking for no sacrifice
Baby you're friends do not need to know!
I've got a real nice place to go
Listen
I don't need you to care
I don't need you to understand yeah
All I want is for you to be there
And when I'm turned on
If you want me
I'm your man!

(Repeat chorus)

Now listen
If you're gonna do
You know what I say?
If you're gonna do it
Don't throw it away
Don't throw it baby
Don't throw it

Because

I'll be your boy, I'll be your man
I'll be the one who understands
I'll be your first, I'll be your last
I'll be the only one you ask
I'll be your friend, I'll be your boy
I'll be the one who brings you joy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your pearl
I'll take you half way round the world

I'll make you rich - I'll make you poor
Just don't use the door

Do it with me

Written by George Michael

I'd say love was a magical thing
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there
I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare, no I don't dare

'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared, I'm so scared

(Instrumental break)

Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care?
I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
Little by little you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care?
No I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love
And if all that there is, is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

Written by George Michael

You ask too much of me
You try my patience
Your tongue - it's like a razor
You choose your words like weapons
Here we go - Battlestations

I never have the guts to let you look inside
I don't think you'd appreciate the things that I hide

Monday was the worst day
And Friday wasn't my day
But Wednesday was the best day
Because on Wednesday night we made love

All I'm trying to give you is a good time honey
Why d'ya have to keep on playing games with my head
Used to be your baby when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle
Than we ever do in bed (Than we ever do in bed)
You don't know how much I hate that answer phone
Are you standing there?
But - you won't pick up the 'phone
Why lie to my face?
(When you can buy a tape machine to give me bullshit in your place)

Today I did something I thought I'd never do
I opened up your diary and read about you

Monday was the worst day
Wednesday we made love
And Friday - ooh but - Saturday, is today, is what I'm thinking of
Come in baby- come in close
(Take off your designer clothes)
'Cos you know what I'm thinking of
Do you remember me, do you remember us - Do you remember love?

All I'm trying to give you is a good time honey
Why d'ya have to keep on playing games with my head
Used to be your baby when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle
Than we ever do in bed (Than we ever do in bed)

La premiere fois tu m'as fait beaucoup rire
Tu etais si mignon, et tu jouais du piano
Maintenant, mon mellieur ami c'est l'argent
Au revoir, cheri
Au revoir, mon amour

Written by Don Was / Dave Was

I spend my nights down on the wharf
In unlit alleyways
By the church downtown
Where Sally prays

Come down sometime
We'll share a rusty can of corn...
And listen to the radio
I love you, I love you, it says...

Chorus:
Where did your heart go
Did you put it on a train
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico (X2)

You cry, but I don't know
I've heard it all before
There it goes again, the slamming of the door
Sometimes the river calls me
And at night it calls my name
Says "put your troubles down beside me"
Things have always been the same...

(Instrumental break)

And rock 'n' roll won't teach me
What the river said that night
I jumped into this beauty
And drifted out of sight...

(Repeat chorus)

Written by George Michael

I would lock you up
But I could not bear
To hear you screaming to be set free
I would chain you up
If I thought you'd swear
The only one that mattered
Was me, me, me
I would strap you up
But don't worry baby
You know I wouldn't hurt you
'Less you wanted me to
It's too late to stop
Won't the heaven's save me
My Daddy says the devil looks alot like you

Chorus:
Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your babies eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
When the passion dies
It's just a matter of time
Before my heart is looking for a home

Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, la, la
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (X2)

I'm like a maniac at the end of the day
I'm like a doggie barking at your door
So come and take me back
To the place you stay
And maybe we can do it once more
I'm dangerous, but don't worry baby
I get excited at the things that you do
And there's a place for us, in a dirty movie
'Cause no-one does it better than me and you

(Repeat chorus)

I ain't got no more worries
I'm gonna spend some time with you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it
I know it, I know it

Filthy

Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your babies eyes and we can (we can, woah)
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Don't you tell me lies
Because believe me baby
One day you'll wake up on your own (Woo)

I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
Everyone's got their eye on you

I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it
I know it, I know it
