Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug

You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high
When your loving starts
A jitterbug into my brain
It goes bang, bang, bang
Till my feet do the same

But something's bugging me
Something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
You left me sleeping in my bed
I was dreaming
But I should have been with you instead

Chorus:
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cos I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight

You put the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same

'Cos you're my lady I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on baby lets not fight
We'll go dancing
Everything wiil be alright

(Chorus)

Cuddle up baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there but it's warm in bed
They can dance We'll stay at home instead

(Repeat chorus to fade)

Written by George Michael

Somebody told me
Boy everything she wants is everything she sees
I guess I must have loved you
Because I said you were the perfect girl for me, baby

And now we're six months older
And everything you want and everything you see
Is out of reach not good enough
I don't know what the hell you want from me

Somebody tell me
(won't you tell me)
Why I work so hard for you
(To give you money, work to give you money)

Some people work for a living
Some people work for fun
Girl I just work for you
They told me marriage was give and take
Well you've shown me you can take
You've got some giving to do
And now you tell me that your having my baby
I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to
But one step further and my back will break
If my best isn't good enough
Then how can it be good enough for two

I can't work any harder than I do

Somebody tell me
(won't you tell me)
Why I work so hard for you
(To give you money, work to give you money)

Oh why do I do the things I do
I'd tell you if I knew
My God, I don't even think that I love you

(Won't you tell me)
(To give you money, work to give you money)

How could you settle
For a boy like me
When all I could see
Was the end of the week
All the things we sign
And the things we buy
Ain't gonna keep us together
It's just a matter of time

My situation
Never changes
Walking in and out of that door
Like a stranger
For the wages
I give you all
You say you want more

And all I could see
Was the end of the week
All the things we sign
And the things we buy
Ain't gonna keep us together
Girl it's just a matter of time

Written by George Michael

Another summer, another vacation is over
A September morning with the sun and smell of the clover
Down by the gates we sit and watch all our friends go by
And pretend we don't hear the bell that rings through the
summer sky

I was happy with the kisses she gave me
It's just that happy was she made me
Happy that was until I saw you

Chorus:
Heartbeat, heartbeat, why do you fail me now?
You hurt me, desert me in my darkest hour
Heartbeat, heartbeat, why do you keep me here?
How could I help but admire her beauty
Standing on the line between desire and duty
Heartbeat, heartbeat, it will end in tears

I need a lover that loves such a dangerous place to be
Oh, if we were meant for each other then why don't you answer me
Don't keep me waiting, you know that I long to be by your side

I was happy with the kisses she gave me
Now there's nothing on earth that can save me
Why should I care I can have you?

Chorus to fade

Written by George Michael

Foreign skies
That blinded me to empty charms
I crossed the ocean and fell into your arms
So sure, so wrong
You sang me a simple tune
I took it for a song

Say goodbye, don't tell me why you have to go
Loving you was as good as gold (as good as gold)
I'd love to love you, really love you
BUT you see, there's something you should now
I really didn't think you'd go

Because today
I could have sworn I heard you say
I love you
I want you
I need to be with you

Today
I saw something in your face
Stay here
Beside me
I need your love to hide me
You lied
And now you've gone away
And left me crying like a baby



. . .


Written by George Michael

Every day I hear a different story
People say that you're no good for me
Sow you lover with another
She's making a fool of you
If you loved me baby, you'd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I'm a baby and I don't understand
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
As long as we're together
And you do

Chorus:
I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can't escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys
(Oh oh ...)
You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool
To give you all that I do
I bet you someday, baby
Someone says the same to you
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

Chorus:

You're hurting me, baby
You're hurting me, baby
Oh oh ...
You're hurting me, baby
You're hurting me, baby
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

Chorus:

I don't want your
I don't want your
I don't want your
I don't want your

To fade ...

Written by The Isley Brothers

You're the one that makes my day
A dream come true
Yet and still you wonder
If I think of you
You ought to see how the other girls behave
When you're not around
And only then you would know
That it's on your finger I'm wound

Uh-huh

Chorus:
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
That I care

There's no need for you not to have faith in me
'Cos it's by your side girl
That I long to be
Yes there are times with my friends
When I don't have much to say
But what you don't know is with you
I could never act that way

(Repeat chorus)

I care for you baby

I swear that I care

There's no need for you not to have faith in me
'Cos it's by you're side girl
That I long to be
Yes there are times with my friends
When I don't have much to say (Uh-huh)
But what you don't know is with you
I could never act that way

(Repeat chorus)

I care for you baby

I swear that I care for you baby
I do
Have faith in me

I care for you baby

Oh-oh

Written by George Michael

Said that you love me
Thought that it was true
You said that you needed me
And baby I believe that too
I thought that you were shy
But you put me straight
With the wink of your eye
I should have known better
I know
But now my hand's in my pocket
Every time I see you cry

People think that you're so sweet
But they don't know you
Quite like I do
I guess they think
I'm a lucky guy
But you're not fooling
Everybody

You can have my credit card
Baby
But keep your red hot fingers
Off my heart
Lady
All I know is what I see
You're getting what you want
Girl
It ain't just me
No matter how you cry
I'm not giving any love away
Do you think I'm crazy
All I know is what I see
But what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me
Baby

You tell me you love me
'Cause I know that it's not true
Just tell me
You need my money
Girl
You know I'll give it to you
Between the ocean and sky
There are things
That you can't buy
And if you look you'll see
One of them is me
Take your hands out of my pockets
Dig until the day you die

People think that you're so sweet
But they don't know you
Quite like I do
I guess they think
I'm a lucky guy
But you're not fooling
Everybody

You can have my credit card
Baby
But keep your red hot fingers
Off my heart
Lady
All I know is what I see
You're getting what you want
Girl
It ain't just me
No matter how you cry
I'm not giving any love away
Do you think I'm crazy
All I know is what I see
But what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me
Baby

They don't know you
Quite like I do
And you're not fooling
Anybody
You can have my credit card
Baby
But keep your red hot fingers
Off my heart
Lady
All I know is what I see
You're getting what you want
Girl
It ain't just me
No matter how you cry
I'm not giving any love away
Do you think I'm crazy
All I know is what I see
But what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me
Baby

Time can never mend the careless whispers, of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

Should've known better

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
That you had to leave me alone
