Faith Lyrics

Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body I know not everybody has got a body like you but I've got to think twice before I give my heart away and I know all the games you play because I played them too Oh but I need some time off from that emotion time to pick my heart up off the floor and when that love comes down without devotion well it takes a strong man baby but I'm showing you the door 'Cause I've got to have faith I've got to have faith Because I've got to have faith, faith, faith I've got to have faith, faith, faith Baby I know you're asking me to stay say please please please don't go away you say I'm giving you the blues maybe you mean every word you say can't help but think of yesterday and another who tied me down to loverboy rules Before this river becomes an ocean before you throw my heart back on the floor oh baby I reconsider my foolish notion well I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more Yes I've gotta have faith I've got to have faith Because I've got to have faith, faith, faith I've got to have faith, faith, faith I just got to wait because I've got to have faith I gotta have faith... I gotta, gotta, gotta have faith Before this river becomes an ocean Before you throw my heart back on the floor Oh baby I reconsider my foolish notion Well I need someone to hold me But I'll wait for something more 'Cause I've got to have faith I've got to have faith Because I've got to have faith, faith, faith I've got to have faith, faith, faith

Meaning of Faith

“Faith” is a poignant exploration of heartbreak and the struggle to move on, delivered with George Michael’s signature vulnerability. The lyrics depict a man grappling with an intense, possibly manipulative, relationship where he feels emotionally drained and his heart has been repeatedly “thrown back on the floor.” He recognizes his own past mistakes in playing games and desperately needs space – time off from the overwhelming emotion – to rebuild himself before committing fully again. Despite the pleas of this demanding lover, he firmly declares, "I've got to have faith," representing a conscious decision to prioritize self-respect and avoid being trapped by another unhealthy connection. It’s about recognizing his worth, setting boundaries, and trusting in a future where love is genuine and devoted, ultimately urging him to patiently wait for something truly fulfilling rather than succumbing to immediate desire.
