Precious box


In my house there's a circle, where the life comes in
From the stars to my home, down through the stone,
I could have been so alone,
Without my precious box
Have I a family? I guess not
I've never seen a lot of beauty
In my life.

Well in your house there are servants, and the lights all dim
Such a beautiful home, your agent's on the phone, they never
leave you alone
The party never stops!
You say that's fantasy, I say "So what, I need a little beauty..."

So let me in,
You know you've kind of got under my skin
You know we never see a lot of the action round here
My dear
You may want to strip again

And you look so fine in your Gucci suit
And you're making more money than your daddy
could have imagined
But people can go out of fashion, honey, yeah, any time

So take that picture, stop acting so dumb
Don't you know that the moment will come
I will find someone like you
But with something extra, I'm sorry baby
I don't know why
I don't know why that is

The systematic breakdown of my community
You know I hate my job, I try to save but God
There's just never enough
Switch on, the pressure - stops
You know the one for me, she's on Fox
And she's a little beauty...

Give me your life, give me your life, I want it
Because lately, it's so freezing out here
(This side of the glass, life keeps kicking my ass)
In so many ways, but you make it good
Made me the kind of happy that my baby never could
(This side of the glass...)

So take that picture, stop acting so dumb
Don't you know that the moment will come
I will find someone like you
But with something extra, I'm so sorry baby
I don't know why
I don't know why that is

Precious keeps me company
Keeps me from being alone

Because no-one comes in the morning
No-one comes in the evening time
I'd sit and wait for the phone to ring
I could be waiting my whole damn life

So sick of the same old faces
In this street, where nobody talks to me
And the funny side of the situation is
I don't care, I'll always be there

When you come down from the sky
And make yourself at home
In my house

Because these days it's the money the money
The money, honey, or your life
I said don't you know you can't have both

Stop acting so dumb
The moment will come
I will find someone like you
Something extra, (always happens baby to me) sorry baby
I don't know why (something)
Said I don't know why that is

You may want to strip again
You may want to let me in
You may want to sacrifice
More than you think is fair or right

You may want to think again
You may want to watch your friends
You may want to change your mind
You may wish you could turn back time.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

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».
