Faith
Michael George Lyrics

Well, I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I am physically attracted to you and would like to be intimate with you.

I know not everybody has got a body like you
I recognize that you are particularly physically attractive and not everyone possesses such a wonderful physique.

But I gotta think twice before I give my heart away
Before I fully commit to a relationship with you, I need to be cautious and consider the possible consequences of giving my heart away.

And I know all the games you play because I played them, too
I am familiar with the manipulative tactics that people sometimes use in relationships because I have used them myself.

Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion
I am currently feeling overwhelmed by emotional and romantic entanglements and need a break.

Time to pick my heart up off the floor
I need time to recover from past emotional wounds and regain my emotional strength.

Oh, when that love comes down without devotion
If someone is not fully committed to me and our relationship, I cannot wholeheartedly accept their love.

Well, it takes a strong man, baby
It requires a great deal of strength and self-assurance to walk away from a relationship that is not fulfilling or healthy.

But I'm showin' you the door
I am ending this relationship and moving on with my life.

'Cause I gotta have faith
I need to have trust and confidence in myself and my own judgment.

I gotta' have faith
I need to believe in myself and my ability to make good decisions.

Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I must maintain my faith in myself, even when faced with difficult decisions and emotional turmoil.

I got to have faith, faith, faith
I need to have confidence in my own judgment and decision-making abilities.

Baby, I know you're askin' me to stay
You are requesting that I stay in the relationship.

Say 'Please, please, please don't go away'
You are begging me not to end the relationship.

You say I'm givin' you the blues
You feel sad and upset because I am ending the relationship.

Maybe you mean every word you say
Perhaps you truly feel the way you are expressing and are not trying to manipulate me.

Can't help but think of yesterday
I am reflecting on past experiences and how they inform my present decision-making.

And another who tied me down to loverboy rules
I have previously been in a relationship where I felt trapped and restricted in expressing myself or making my own decisions.

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before my current emotional turmoil grows to become unmanageable.

Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Before I give myself fully to you, only to have my heart broken again.

Oh, baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
I am rethinking my previous beliefs or intentions in light of new information or emotional turmoil.

Well, I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for somethin' more
Although I crave emotional connection and physical touch, I will wait for something that is truly fulfilling and supportive of my emotional well-being.

Yes, I gotta have faith
My faith in myself and my decision-making abilities is crucial.

Ooh, I gotta have faith
I absolutely need to have faith in myself and my choices.

I'll just have to wait
I need to be patient and wait for the right relationship to come along.

Because I've got to have faith
My faith in myself and ability to make wise decisions is absolutely necessary.

I gotta have faith
I must maintain my confidence and trust in my own judgment and decision-making abilities.

I've got to, got to, got to have faith
My faith in myself is not optional, it is a must.
