Faith
George Michael (Cover) Lyrics

Well I guess it would be nice
I am somewhat unsure so I am speaking in the conditional tense, it would be really nice if I could touch your body.

If I could touch your body
Being able to touch and feel your body would be incredible.

I know not everybody
I am aware that not everyone possesses a body as wonderful as yours.

Has got a body like you, uhh
There's no denying that your body is one of a kind and stands out amongst the rest.

But I've got to think twice
However, I need to give this a second thought before I let myself fall for you.

Before I give my heart away
I don't want to give my heart to you too easily.

And I know all the games you play
I am aware of all the tricks and schemes you play to get what you want.

Because I play them too
The fact that I have played these games myself means that I know what to expect.

Oh but I
Despite this, I feel that I need a break from the ups and downs of love.

Need some time off from that emotion
I really need a break from all the emotional games and confusion.

Time to pick my heart up off the floor
I need time to focus on myself and heal from past heartaches.

Oh when that love comes down
When the next wave of love comes my way,

Without devotion
Without a true and devoted love,

Well it takes a strong man, baby
It takes a strong person to be able to recognize this and walk away.

But I'm showing you the door
I am choosing to walk away from this before it gets too serious.

'Cause I gotta have faith
The reason for this decision is because I need to have faith in true love and devotion.

I gotta faith
This is why I choose to have faith.

Because I gotta to have faith faith
I must have faith in order to get through the ups and downs of love.

I gotta to have faith, faith, faith
It's important for me to have faith in love and the relationships it brings.

Baby
Addressing the person he's in a relationship with.

I know you're asking me to stay
I understand that you're asking me to stay in this relationship.

Say please, please, please, don't go away
You're begging me to stay with you and not leave.

You say I'm giving you the blues
You claim that I'm making you sad and giving you the blues.

Maybe
Perhaps

You mean every word you say
I believe that you are being genuine and mean everything you're saying.

Can't help but think of yesterday
It's hard to ignore the memories of past relationships that have kept me tied down.

And another who tied me down to lover boy rules
Thinking of the past partner who may have hindered my ability to trust.

Before this river
Before this becomes something bigger than it is,

Becomes an ocean
Before things get too deep and complicated.

Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Before you break my heart again and leave me feeling hurt and vulnerable.

Oh baby I reconsider
I need to rethink this and take a different approach.

My foolish notion
I must recognize my naive and silly thought process.

Well I need someone to hold me
I do need someone to love me and care for me.

But I wait for something more
However, I am going to wait for a love that is true and devoted.

Yes I've gotta have faith
I need to have faith to achieve this type of love.

Unh I gotta faith
I need to stay strong and believe in love.

I gotta to have faith, faith, faith
I must hold onto my faith in love and let that be my guide.

I gotta to have faith, faith, faith
Faith is what will carry me through the ups and downs, I must hold on tight.
