One More Try Lyrics
I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm lookin' out for angels
Just tryin' to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't just let me go
'Cause teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me "No"
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go
And teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go
And teacher
There are things that I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh, so I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willin' to try
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try
Meaning of One More Try
“One More Try” is a poignant reflection on heartbreak and the struggle to move on after a painful experience. The lyrics reveal an uptown boy’s desperate yearning for love, colored by the devastating memory of a previous relationship that left him emotionally scarred and wary. He pleads for acceptance, repeating “Say you love me,” but simultaneously demands freedom, recognizing the potential for further hurt. The repeated refrain – "There are things that I don't want to learn" – symbolizes his fear of vulnerability and being controlled. George Michael’s message is one of quiet resilience; despite feeling cold and emotionally closed off, he hesitantly asks for “one more try,” acknowledging a lingering hope while fiercely protecting his pride and refusing to be defined by past trauma. Ultimately, the song captures a fragile desire for connection intertwined with a profound need for self-preservation.
