I won't let you down
I will not give you up
gotta have some faith in the sound
it's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
so please don't give me up
because I would really, really love to stick around
heaven knows I was just a young boy
didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirls pride and joy
and I guess it was enough for me
to win the race? a prettier face!
brand new clothes and a big fat place
on your rock and roll TV
but today the way I play the game is not the same
no way
think I'm gonna get me some happy
I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I told you so
there's something deep inside of me
there's someone else I've got to be
take back your picture in a frame
take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
sometimes the clothes do not make the man
chorus
all we have to do now
is take these lies and make them true somehow
all we have to see
is that I don't belong to you
and you don't belong to me
freedom
you've gotta give for what you take
freedom
you've gotta give for what you take
heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
what a kick just a buddy and me
we had every big-shot goodtime band on the run boy
we were living in a fantasy
we won the race
got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
for the boys on MTV
but today the way I play the game has got to change
oh yeah
now I'm gonna get myself happy
I think there's somethig youshould know
I think it's time I stopped the show
there's something deep inside of me
there's someone I forgot to be
take back your picture in a frame
take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
sometimes the clothes do not make the man
chorus
well it looks like the road to heaven
but it feels like the road to hell
when I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
posing for another picture
everybody's got to sell
but when you shake your ass
they notice fast
and some mistakes were build to last
that's what you get
I say that's what you get
that's what you get for changing your mind
and after all this time
I just hope you understand
sometimes the clothes do not make the man
I'll hold on to my freedom
may not be what you want from me
just the way it's got to be
lose the face now
I've got to live
(George Michael)
The lyrics FREEDOM '90 of GEORGE MICHAEL is also present in the album Listen without prejudice (1990)
George Michael, all'anagrafe Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (Londra, 25 giugno 1963 – Londra, 25 dicembre 2016), è stato un cantante britannico di musica pop, rock, soul e R and B. Con circa 100 milioni di dischi venduti, è uno degli artisti musicali britannici di maggior successo, sia in patria che all'estero. Inizialmente membro del duo pop Wham!, ha intrapreso una fortunata carriera solista nel 1987 con l'album «Faith», vincitore di due Grammy Awards negli Stati Uniti (come artista R and B, pur essendo bianco). Il disco è stato accompagnato da una tournée mondiale di grande successo. Successivamente ha pubblicato altri album come «Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1» e «Older». Dopo un periodo dedicato all'esecuzione dal vivo di cover di brani di altri artisti (a causa di problemi legali con la propria etichetta) e una breve crisi personale dovuta in parte a scandali legati alla sua omosessualità, è tornato alla ribalta nel 2004 con l'album «Patience». Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi figurano «Faith», «Father Figure», «Freedom! '90» e «Careless Whisper».
