An Easier Affair
George Michael Lyrics

Here comes one for the ladies
George Michael is dedicating this song especially to his female fans.

For the ones who love me
This song is for the people who truly love him and his music.

To think I thought I could be some kind of family man
George Michael once thought he could settle down and start a family, but he now realizes it's not for him.

I told myself I was straight
George Michael tried to convince himself that he was heterosexual.

But I shouldn't have worried
He shouldn't have worried about his sexuality as his destiny was already set.

'Cos my Maker had a better plan for me
George Michael now understands that his sexuality was predetermined by God.

And I'm dancing with the freaks now
George Michael is now embracing his true self and enjoying the company of other people who are considered 'freaks' in society.

I'm havin', I'm havin' so much fun
He's thoroughly enjoying his current lifestyle now that he's accepted his identity.

What you sow is what you reap now
George Michael believes that you get what you give in life, and he's giving out positive energy to everyone around him through his music and dance.

I'll do my dance with everyone
He is not discriminating against anyone, but rather, finds joy in dancing with everyone around him.

I've been getting too much Sun
He's been out in the spotlight too often, and therefore has received excessive criticism.

(Yes I'm dancin' with the freaks now)
He's not ashamed of who he is, and is openly embracing his true identity.

We're havin', we're havin' too much fun for them
He's having too much fun living his life and people are disapproving of it.

Look who's talking Guilty feet now'
People who have previously judged him are now feeling guilty or hypocritical about it.

Well let me tell you people
He's now addressing everyone that has had a negative impact on his life.

It's an easier affair
Living life without worrying about other people's approval is much easier than he thought it would be.

Not living my life with other people on my mind
He is now living his life for himself, and not trying to please everyone else.

No, got nothing to hide from anyone
There's nothing he's hiding about his true self; he's being transparent.

Yes, I'm walking on new air
He feels like he's living life on a new level of freedom and not being held down by societal expectations.

Just living my life
He's just doing what he wants to do in life.

Better believe I'm gonna get what's mine
He is determined to achieve his dreams and live life on his own terms.

See I don't have the time
He doesn't have time to worry about the critics or naysayers.

For the haters
He has no time for people who don't support him and his true identity.

And all the time that I wasted
He acknowledges that he went through a phase in life in which he wasted time trying to fit into societal norms.

How careless of me
It was foolish of him to try to be someone he's not, but he has now grown to realize it's not his identity.

Too young and stupid to see
He was young and immature, and therefore, wasn't aware of his true self yet.

I put my life in their hands
He allowed other people to control his life and thoughts about his identity.

(Gonna look for Cupid, man)
He's going to search for someone that Cupid deems as his true soulmate.

Oh, and I know that they want me to hate them
People have not been kind to him, and want him to feel negatively towards them.

There's no hurry
He's not in a hurry to change how people feel about him, he will get there in his own time.

I'll just have to be the bigger man
He will not let people drag him down to their level, as he is mentally above them.

If I turn the other cheek now
If he decides to ignore the negativity about his identity, he will rise above the critics.

Would that be, would that be too much fun for them'
He's acknowledging that people who have criticized him might not find it fun that he's going about his life unconcerned about their opinions.

Don't let them tell you who you are is not enough
George is encouraging his listeners to stay true to their own identity and not let anyone convince them otherwise.

Don't let them tell you that it's wrong
Don't let society convince you that your identity is wrong when it is not.

Or that you won't find love
You will find love in life despite societal expectations and norms.

Don't let them use my life to put your future down
Don't let people bring you down by using George's story and experiences against you.

Don't let them tell you that happiness can't be found
Don't let critics and negative people convince you that you cannot find happiness.

Take it to the streets
Get out and live your life the way you want to without hesitation.

There are stories you can keep
Everyone has their own story, keep them to yourself and nobody can use them against you.

They're just passing you by
If you don't live life true to yourself, time will go by without you noticing.
