The footage used for the music video of the song was taken from a "live" concert in Chicago with 70,000 fans. "The video was actually shot over several days," confirms Michael Pagnotta, George's publicist. "It was shot in an airline hangar in Burbank, California where George had been rehearsing; Elton came in for a night and they ran through the song a couple of times. Then the song was filmed in its entirety live in Chicago in the middle of October as part of that Cover to Cover tour, and when Elton came out from the wings, that place went crazy." It appears on John's Love Songs compilation. The proceeds from the single were divided among 10 different charities for children, AIDS and education.
Both John and Michael performed at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert a year after the single's release.

Give you all the lovin' that your heart
Desires
One day you say you love me
The next you tell me you don't
One day you say you will
But the next you tell me you won't
There ain't much point in hanging around yeah
One day you make me feel like your love is in my hands
One day you say you'll stay
But next you're changing your plans
Hey little baby
Ain't much point in hanging around, ain't much point in hanging around yeah
'Cause' if you ain't got time for me I'll find another fantasy
It is kind of funny that you think that I am the boy to make you cry
I can make you happy
If only for a while
Little baby, oh little baby I can give you all the loving that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another fantasy
I say it could be the price of love
Could the price of hate
What am I guilty of
Why do you make me wait
So long I don't know your intentions
Look to the sky's above
I am in the hands of fate push till it gets to shove
I have got to know for heavens sake
Is this love, (is this love) is this love or invention
Baby can't you see I'll find another fantasy
Give you all the love that your heart, oh yeah
Give you all the love that your heart
Give you all the love that your heart desires
(Baby I can't) baby can't you see I'll find another fantasy
You hang around with people who are sure to make you cry
I can make you happy if only for a while
Little baby oh, oh little baby
I can give you all the lovin' that your heart desires
Give you all the love that your heart desires oh yeah
(I'm gonna make you feel so sexy) if only for a while little baby
Oh little baby I can give you all the loving that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another fantasy
(You take, you take) you take someones heart and you kick it around
Keep on picking it up
So you can watch it come down
I don't know what I am suppose to do
Why I wait for you to make up your mind
Could you please be so kind
When you know what to do I'll be in the next room
But if you make it to late I may be in the next day (Hmm)
If you ain't got time for me
I find another fantasy
If you ain't got time for me
I find another fantasy
If you ain't got time for me
I find another fantasy
The lyrics of George Michael's song Fantasy speak about an on-and-off relationship where one day, the person says they love the other, and the next they change their mind. The singer is trying to understand what their intentions are and what love means to them. The phrase "baby can't you see I'll find another fantasy" suggests that the singer does not want to keep on hanging around if the relationship keeps on being uncertain. He wants to give his love, and if the other person doesn't feel the same, then it's better to accept it and move on.
The chorus suggests that the singer is willing to give all the love that the other person desires despite the uncertainty in the relationship. The lyrics also allude to the idea that the singer is tired of waiting for the other person to make up their mind and wants to walk away from the situation.
The song has a catchy beat and melody that blends well with the lyrics. It became a hit song in the UK, reaching number 14 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was released in 1990 and was part of his second solo album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1.

Desires
Because you want and need love and attention
One day you say you love me
At times, you say you love me
The next you tell me you don't
At other times, you say you don't love me
One day you say you will
At times, you say you will stay with me
But the next you tell me you won't
At other times, you say you won't stay with me
Hey little baby
My dear beloved
There ain't much point in hanging around yeah
It is pointless to stay if you can't offer me love and attention
One day you make me feel like your love is in my hands
At times, you make me feel like you truly love me
One day you say you'll stay
At times, you say you will stay with me
But next you're changing your plans
But then, you change your mind about staying with me
Ain't much point in hanging around, ain't much point in hanging around yeah
It is pointless to stay if you can't give me the love and attention I desire
'Cause if you ain't got time for me I'll find another fantasy
If you can't offer me love and attention, I will find someone else who can fulfill my desires
It is kind of funny that you think that I am the boy to make you cry
It's strange that you assume I am the cause of your tears
I can make you happy
I can bring joy into your life
If only for a while
Even if it's only temporary
Little baby, oh little baby I can give you all the loving that your heart desires
My dear beloved, I can offer you all the love and attention you need and want
I say it could be the price of love
Love can come with a cost or cause pain
Could the price of hate
Perhaps the price of love is the risk of being hurt or the pain of hate
What am I guilty of
What have I done wrong
Why do you make me wait
Why are you making me wait for a decision
So long I don't know your intentions
It's been so long, and I don't understand your intentions
Look to the sky's above
Look to the heavens for answers or guidance
I am in the hands of fate push till it gets to shove
I am at the mercy of fate and will have to act when necessary
I have got to know for heavens sake
I need to know what's going on
Is this love, (is this love) is this love or invention
Is this true love or just an invention, a fabrication
Baby can't you see I'll find another fantasy
If you can't offer me true love, I will find someone else to fulfill my desires
You hang around with people who are sure to make you cry
You associate with people who are toxic and will hurt you
Keep on picking it up
Continuing to hold onto something that hurts you emotionally
So you can watch it come down
So you can watch it fail or fall apart
I don't know what I am suppose to do
I am not sure what action to take
Why I wait for you to make up your mind
I am waiting for you to decide what you want
Could you please be so kind
Can you please show me kindness
When you know what to do I'll be in the next room
When you are ready to decide, I'll be waiting for you
But if you make it too late I may be in the next day (Hmm)
But if you take too long, I may have moved on already
If you ain't got time for me
If you can't give me the love and attention I need
I find another fantasy
I will find someone else to fulfill my desires
If you ain't got time for me
If you can't give me the love and attention I need
I find another fantasy
I will find someone else to fulfill my desires
If you ain't got time for me
If you can't give me the love and attention I need
I find another fantasy
I will find someone else to fulfill my desires

Original has flash, pizzazz, attitude, funk and brassy sexiness all in one. Only GM can put out a fierce song like this.
He looks straight at the camera lens and cocks his eyebrow and goes “hmm” Perfection

I enjoy this song so much, a shame it wasn't major as the other songs in Faith. Or such a shame it wasn't released as a single. I still love George :)
