Fastlove
George Michael Lyrics

Gotta get up to get down
In order to experience life to its fullest, you need to put in the effort and take action. You have to get out there and make things happen rather than just waiting for them to come to you.

Ooh-ooh, baby, baby
This line is repeated throughout the song and is meant to show the singer's longing for companionship, even if it's just a temporary or physical kind of love.

Looking for some education
The singer is searching for something deeper and more meaningful in his life. He wants to expand his knowledge, experience new things, and find a sense of purpose.

Made my way into the night
The singer is taking risks, stepping outside of his comfort zone, and exploring what life has to offer. He's not afraid of the dark or the unknown.

All that bullshit conversation
The singer is tired of fake, meaningless conversations and relationships. He wants something that's authentic, genuine, and real.

Baby, can't you read the signs?
The singer is dropping hints and hoping that the person he's interested in will pick up on them and make a move. He's not being direct or forceful because he doesn't want to come across as desperate or needy.

I won't bore you with the details, baby
The singer is trying to be upfront and honest about his intentions, but he doesn't want to overwhelm or confuse the other person with too many specifics. He's letting them know that he's not perfect and that he's not looking for anything too serious.

If you're looking for fastlove
The singer is admitting that he's not a long-term partner and is instead looking for something that's quick and easy. He doesn't want to waste anyone's time or lead them on.

Had some bad love
The singer has been hurt before and doesn't want to go through that pain again. He's making it clear that he's not trying to replace his past love, but is instead looking for something that can distract him from his pain and provide temporary pleasure.

Looking for some affirmation
The singer is seeking reassurance and validation from others. He wants to be told that he's desirable, attractive, and worth pursuing.

Made my way into the sun
The singer is trying to brighten up his life and escape the darkness and negativity of his past. He's looking for positivity, happiness, and joy.

My friends got their ladies
The singer is jealous of his friends who have stable relationships and families. He feels left out and lonely without a partner.

But I just wanna have some fun
The singer is not ready to settle down and start a family yet. He's not interested in the responsibilities and long-term commitment that come with a serious relationship; he just wants to enjoy the moment and live in the present.

Gonna get there in your own sweet time
The singer is patient and understanding, letting the other person take their time and make their own decisions. He's not rushing or pressuring them to do anything that they're not comfortable with.

Get yourself some lessons in love
The singer is offering advice and guidance to the other person, suggesting that they learn more about what love means and how it works. He wants them to be prepared and knowledgeable before entering into a relationship with him or anyone else.

In the absence of security
The singer is feeling unsafe and vulnerable without a partner. He wants someone to provide him with a sense of safety, protection, and stability.

Stupid Cupid keeps on calling me
The singer is referencing the mythological figure of Cupid, who is known for shooting arrows that cause people to fall in love. He's acknowledging that love can be unpredictable, illogical, and even foolish at times.

But I see loving in his eyes
Despite his reservations about love and commitment, the singer is still able to recognize and appreciate the beauty and power of love. He's not completely closed off to the idea of a genuine and lasting connection.

I miss my baby
The singer is nostalgic and sentimental, thinking about a past love that he has lost. He's feeling a sense of longing and regret.

So why don't we make a little room in my BMW, babe?
The singer is making a suggestive and flirtatious offer to the other person. He's inviting them to join him in his car, hoping that they will reciprocate his feelings and desires.

I do believe that we are practicing the same religion
The singer is trying to establish a connection and commonality with the other person. He's suggesting that they share similar values, beliefs, and priorities.

That's right
This line is repeated throughout the song and is meant to show the singer's confidence and conviction in his own desires and beliefs.
