Father Figure

Song by George Michael from album "Faith" (1987).


That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and
naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me (understand me)
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be
Oh-oh

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and
naked
At my side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me (understand me)
But something tells me together
We'd be happy

Oh-oh baby (I will be your father figure)
Oh baby (put your tiny hand in mine)
I'd love to (I will be your preacher, teacher)
Be your daddy (anything you have in mind)
It would make me (I will be your father figure)
Very happy (I have had enough of crime)
Please let me (I will be the one who loves you)
(Till the end of time)
Doo, doo, doo, oh-ho

[short instrumental interlude]

That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyes shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me (understand me), hee
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be
Strong

Baby (I will be your father figure)
(Put your tiny hand in mine)
My baby (I will be your preacher, teacher)
(Anything you have in mind)
Hee (I will be your father figure)
(I have had enough of crime)
(I will be the one who loves you)
(Till the end of time)

If you are the desert, I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger, hunger for me
Whatever you ask for, that's what I'll be

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared but then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling
Don't think of me because all I ever wanted...
It's in your eyes
Baby, baby...
And love can't lie, no...
(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love has always tells me so
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
And I won't let you go, my baby!

(I will be your father figure)
Put your tiny hand in mine
(I will be your preacher, teacher)
And everything you have in mind
Baby (I will be your father figure)
And I have had enough of crimes
(I will be the one who loves you)
Till the end of...

(I will be your father) I will be your
(I will be your preacher) father
(I will be your father) I'll be your dad, oh
I will be the one who loves you
Till the end of
Time
