MUSIC: Careless Whisper by George Michael
# Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
# Mm-mm
# 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 a silver screen
# And all its sad goodbyes
# I'm never gonna dance again
# Guilty feet have got no rhythm
# Though it's easy to pretend
# I know you're not a fool
# I should have known better than to cheat a friend
# And waste the chance that I'd been given
# So I'm never gonna dance again
# The way I danced with you
# Oh-ho
# 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 you're not a fool
# Should have known better than to cheat a friend
# And waste the chance that I'd been given
# So I'm never gonna dance again
# The way I danced with you, oh-oh
# 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 want to say
# We could have been so good together
# We could have lived this dance forever
# But now who'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 you're not a fool
# I should have known better than to cheat a friend
# And waste the chance that I'd been given
# So I'm never gonna dance again
# The way I danced with you
# Oh-ho
# Now that you're gone
# Was what I did so wrong?
# So wrong
# That you had to leave me alone? #
# Don't play that song for me
# Cos it brings back memories
# Of days that I once knew
# All those days that I spent with you
# Oh, no, don't let 'em play it Oh, no
# It fills my heart with pain It hurts
# Please, stop it right away
# Cos I remember just what he said
# He said, darlin' Darlin', I
# I love you I know that he lied
# Darlin', I, I love you Yes, he did
# I tell you he lied Darlin', I, I love you
# Yes, he did I love you
# You know he lied He lied
# He lied He lied
# He lied
# Please

# Don't you play it no more
# I can't stand it
# Don't play it no more No more
# No more No more
# No more, whoa-whoa Can't stand it
# I remember on our first date Ooh
# He kissed me and he walked away Ooh
# I was only 17 Ooh
# I'd never dream he'd be so mean
# He told me, darlin' Darlin', I love you
# But let me leave you with he lied

# Don't play it no more No more
# No more No more
# Yeah! Don't play it no more. #
# Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
# Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
# When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
# Cos my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
# It all just sounds like
# Ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo
# Mm, too young, too dumb to realise
# That I should have bought you flowers
# And held your hand
# Should have gave you all my hours
# When I had the chance
# Take you to every party cos all you wanted to do was dance
# Now my baby's dancing
# But she's dancing with another man
# My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
# Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
# Now I never, never get to
# Clean up the mess I made, oh
# And that haunts me every time I close my eyes
# It all just sounds like
# Ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo
# Mm, too young, too dumb to realise
# That I should have bought you flowers
# And held your hand
# Should have gave you all my hours
# When I had the chance
# Take you to every party cos all you wanted to do was dance
# Now my baby's dancing
# But she's dancing with another man
# Although it hurts
# I'll be the first to say that
# I was wrong
# Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
# To try and apologise for my mistakes
# But I just want you to know
CROWD: # I hope he buys you flowers
CROWD: # I hope he holds your hand
CROWD: # Gives you all his hours
CROWD: # When he has the chance
CROWD: # Take you to every party
CROWD: # Cos all you wanted to do was dance
CROWD: # Now my baby's dancing
CROWD: # Dancing with another man
# I hope he buys you flowers
# I hope he holds your hand
# Gives you all his hours
# While he has the chance
# Take you to every party, cos I remember how much you loved to dance
# Do all the things I should have done
# Baby, when I was your man
# And do all the things that I should have done
# When I was your man. #
Thank you.
# All that I have is all that you've given me
# Did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
# I gave you all the love I had in me
# Now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true
# Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
# I see you across the street
# And I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
# You talk of love but you don't know how it feels
# When you realise that you're not the only one
# Oh, you'd better stop Stop
# Before you tear me all apart
# You'd better stop Stop
# Before you go and break my heart
# Ooh, you'd better stop
# Time after time I've tried to walk away
# I've tried to walk away
# But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
# So I just resign myself to it every day
# Now all I can do is to leave it up to you
# Oh, oh you'd better stop Stop
# Before you tear me all apart
# You'd better stop Stop
# Before you go and break my heart
# Ooh, you'd better stop if you love me
# You will remember
# Now's the time to be sorry
# That day forever
# I won't believe that
# You'd walk out on me
# Baby, yeah, yeah
# Ooh! #
# So you're in love with someone else
# Someone who burns within your soul
# And it looks like I am the last to know
# I hear you've never felt so alive
# So much desire beyond control
# And as usual, I am the last to know
# The last to know how you're feeling
# The last to know where you are
# The last to know if you're happy now
# Or if he's treating you like I treated you
# Or if he's cruel
# I'll be the last to know
# We spent summers up beyond the bay
# And you said these are such perfect days
# That if the bomb drops, baby
# I wanna be the last to know
# But now you're living up behind the hill
# And though we share the same city and feel the same sun
# When your winter comes
# I'll be the last to know
# Always the last to know how you're feeling
# The last to know where you are
# The last to know if you're happy now
# Or if he's pleaded with you
# Like I pleaded with you if you go
# Don't let me be the last to know
# Don't let me be the last
# To know
# Creation's gone crazy
# The TV's gone mad
# Now you're the only sane thing that I've had
# Always the last to know how you're feeling
# The last to know where you are
# The last to know if you're happy now
# Or if he's cheated on you
# Like I cheated on you, oh
# You were the last to know
# Don't let me be the last to know... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'd like to go back now and do a song for you
that I wrote about a red-headed lady,
one that was trying to steal my old man.
Women'll do that, you know!
She didn't get him, but her name was Jolene.
# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
# I'm begging of you please don't take my man
# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
# Please don't take him just because you can
# Your beauty is beyond compare
# With flaming locks of auburn hair
# With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
# Your smile is like a breath of spring
# Your voice is soft like summer rain
# And I cannot compete with you Jolene
# He talks about you in his sleep
# And there's nothing I can do to keep
# From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
# Oh, but I can easily understand how you could easily take my man
# But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
# I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
# Please don't take him just because you can
# You could have your choice of men but I could never love again
# He's the only one for me, Jolene
# I had to have this talk with you My happiness depends on you
# And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
# I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
# Please don't take him just because you can
# Jolene
# Jolene... #
That's still two keys. Jolene!
Thank you!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach
# I feel it in the air
# The summer's out of reach
# Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone
# I'm driving by your house
# Though I know you're not home
# I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun
# You got your hair combed back and these sunglasses on, baby
# And I can tell you My love for you will still be strong
# After the boys of summer have gone
# I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream
# Remember how you made me crazy Remember how I made you scream
# Now, I don't understand what happened to our love
# But baby, when I get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
# I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun
# I see ya walkin' real slow Smiling at everyone
# I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
# After the boys of summer have gone
# Out on the road today
# I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
# A little voice inside my head said
# Don't look back You can never look back
# I thought I knew what love was What did I know?
# Those days are gone forever I should just let 'em go but
# I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun
# You got the top pulled down and the radio on, baby
# But I can tell you My love for you will still be strong
# After the boys of summer have gone
# I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun
# You got your hair slicked back... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Somebody said you got a new friend
# Does she love you better than I can?
# It's a big black sky over my town
# I know where you at I bet she's around
# Yeah, I know it's stupid
# I just gotta see it for myself
# I'm in the corner watching you kiss her, oh-oh
# I'm right over here Why can't you see me?
# I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
# I keep dancing on my own
# I'm just gonna dance all night
# I'm all messed up I'm so outta line
# Stilettos on broken bottles
# I'm spinning around in circles
# I'm in the corner watching you kiss her, oh
# I'm right over here Why can't you see me?
# Oh-oh-oh
# I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
# I keep dancing on my own
# So far away, but still so near
# The lights go on, the music dies
# But you don't see me standing here
# I just came to say goodbye
# I'm in the corner watching you kiss her, oh
# I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
# I keep dancing on my own
Oh, yeah
# I'm in the corner watching you kiss her, oh
# Oh-oh-oh
# I'm right over here Why can't you see me?
# Oh-oh
# I'm giving it my all
# But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh-ooh
# I keep dancing on my own
# I keep dancing on my own... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# I thought I saw you in the Battleship
# But it was only a lookalike
# She was nothing but a vision trick under the warning light
# She was close Close enough to be your ghost
# But my chances turned to toast
# When I asked her if I could call her your name
# I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook
# Huddled up in a wicker chair
# I wandered over for a closer look and kissed whoever was sitting there
# She was close and she held me very tightly
# Till I asked awfully politely
# Please, can I call you her name?
# And I elongated my lift home
# Yeah, I let him go the long way round
# I smelt your scent on the seat belt
# And kept my short cuts to myself
# I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak
# Messing with the smoke alarm
# It was too loud for me to hear her speak
# And she had a broken arm
# It was close, so close that the walls were wet
# And she wrote it out in Letraset
# No, you can't call me her name
# Tell me where's your hiding place
# I'm worried I'll forget your face
# And I've asked everyone
# I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
# I elongated my lift home
# Yeah, I let him go the long way round
# I smelt your scent on the seat belt
# And kept my short cuts to myself
# I saw your sister in the Cornerstone
# On the phone to the middleman
# When I saw that she was on her own
# I knew that she'd understand
# She was close Well, you couldn't get much closer
# She said, I'm really not supposed to, but, yes
# You can call me anything you want... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Looking from a window above it's like a story of love
# Can you hear me?
# Came back only yesterday
# I'm moving further away
# Want you near me
# All I needed was the love you gave
# All I needed for another day
# And all I ever knew
# Only you
# Sometimes when I think of her name
# When it's only a game and I need you
# Listen to the words that you say
# It's getting harder to stay
# When I see you
# All I needed was the love you gave
# All I needed for another day
# And all I ever knew
# Only you
# All I needed was the love you gave
# All I needed for another day
# And all I ever knew
# Only you
# This is going to take a long time
# And I wonder what's mine
# Can't take no more
# Wonder if you'll understand
# It's just the touch of your hand
# Behind a closed door
# All I needed was the love you gave
# All I needed for another day
# And all I ever knew
# Only you... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# We belong together
# And you know that I'm right
# Why do you play with my heart?
# Why do you play with my mind?
# Said we'd be forever
# Said it'd never die
# How could you love me and leave me
# And never say goodbye?
# When I can't sleep at night without holding you tight
# Girl, each time I try
# I just break down and cry
# Pain in my head
# Oh, I'd rather be dead
# Spinning around and around
# Although we've come to the end of the road
# Still, I can't let go
# It's unnatural
# You belong to me
# I belong to you
# Girl, I know you really love me
# You just don't realise
# You've never been there before
# It's only your first time
# Maybe I'll forgive you Oh-oh-oh
# Maybe you'll try
# We should be happy together
# Forever, you and I
# Will you love me again like you loved me before?
# This time I want you to love me much more
# This time instead just come to my bed
# And, baby, just don't let me down
# Although we've come to the end of the road
# Still, I can't let go
# It's unnatural
# You belong to me
# I belong to you... #
SPOKEN: Girl, I'm here for you
All those times at night when you just hurt me
And you just ran off with that other fella
Baby, I knew about it
I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love you, do you?
I'm here for you, girl
I'm not out to go out there and cheat all night
Just like you did, baby But that's all right
I love you anyway
And I'm still gon' be here for you till my dying day, baby
Right now, I'm just in so much pain, baby
Cos you just won't come back to me, will you?
Just come back to me...
# Yeah, yeah... #
SPOKEN: Yes, baby, my heart is lonely
My heart hurts, baby
Yes, I feel pain too
Baby, please...
# This time instead, just come to my bed
# And baby, just don't let me down... #
Everybody, sing it!
# Although we've come to the end... #
# The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
# The answer is easy if you take it logically
# I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
# There must be 50 ways to leave your lover
# She said, it's really not my habit to intrude
# Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
# So I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
# There must be 50 ways to leave your lover
# 50 ways to leave your lover
# You just slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan
# You don't need to be coy, Roy Just get yourself free
# Hop on the bus, Gus You don't need to discuss much
# Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free
# She said, it grieves me so to see you in such pain
# I wish there was something I could do
# To make you smile again
# I said, I appreciate that
# And would you please explain about the 50 ways
# She said, why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
# And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
# And then she kissed me
# And I realised she probably was right
# There must be 50 ways to leave your lover
# 50 ways to leave your lover
# You just slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan
# You don't need to be coy, Roy Just get yourself free
# Hop on the bus, Gus You don't need to discuss much
# Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free. #
APPLAUSE
# Mornings alone
# Oh-oh-oh-oh
# When you come home I breathe a little faster
# Every time we're together
# It'd never be the same
# If you're not here
# How can you stay away? Away so long?
# Just give me a reason
# Give me a reason
# Cos I, I don't wanna say it
# I don't wanna find another way
# Make it through the day without you
# It's just another day
# Oh-oh, making the time
# Find the right lines to make you stay forever
# What do I have to tell you?
# I'm just trying to hold on to something
# Oh-oh-oh
# Give us a chance to make it To make it
# Give me a reason
# Cos I, I don't wanna say it
# I don't wanna find another way
# Make it through the day without you
# Make it through the day
# Cos I, I, I can't resist
# Trying to find exactly what I miss
# It's just another day without you
# Yeah, yeah, yeah
# I, I, I don't wanna resist
# I don't wanna find another way
# Make it through the day without you
# It's just another day
# Oh... #
# We've already said
# Goodbye
# Since you've gotta go Oh, you'd better go now
# Go now, go now
# Go now, ooh
# Before you see me cry
# I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
# Cos how many times do I have to tell you, darling, darling
# I'm still in love with you now?
# Whoa-oa-oa
# We've already said
# So long
# I don't wanna see you go Oh, you'd better go now
# Go now, go now
# Go now
# Don't you even try
# Telling me that you really don't want me to end this way
# Cos, darling, darling, can't you see I want you to stay?
# Yeah, yeah
# Since you gotta go Oh, you had better go now
# Go now, go now
# Go now
# Before you see me cry
# I want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
# Cos how many times do I have to tell you, darling, darling
# I'm still in love, still in love with you now?
# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
# I don't wanna see you go but, darling, you'd better go now! #
# Standing on the platform watching you go
# It's like no other pain I've ever known
# To love someone so much
# To have no control
# You said, I want to see the world
# And I said, go
# But I think I'm lost without you
# I just feel crushed without you
# Cos I've been strong for so long
# That I never thought how much I needed you
# I think I'm lost without you
# Strangers rushing past just trying to get home
# You were the only safe haven that I've known
# Hits me at full speed Feel like I can't breathe
# And nobody knows this pain inside me
# My world is crumbling
# I should never have let you go
# I think I'm lost without you
# I think I'm lost, lost, lost
# The way
# Ooh-ooh-ooh
# Ooh
# And I'm lost without you
# You
# I just feel crushed without you
# And I've been strong for so long
# That I never thought how much I love you
# Standing on the platform watching you go
# You said, I want to see the world
# And I said
# Go. #
# I saw a girl brought to life
# She was warm, she came around like she was dignified
# She showed me what it was to cry
# But you couldn't be that girl I adored
# You don't seem to know, seem to care what your heart is for
# But I don't know her any more
# There's nothing where she used to lie
# My conversation has run dry
# That's what's going on
# Nothing's fine, I'm torn
# I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
# I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
# Illusion never changed into something real
# I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
# You're a little late, I'm already torn
# And so I guess the fortune-teller's right
# I should've seen just what was there
# And not some holy light
# You crawled beneath my veins, and now
# I don't care, I had no luck
# I don't miss it all that much
# There's just so many things
# That I can't touch, I'm torn
# I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
# I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
# Illusion never changed into something real
# I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
# You're a little late, I'm already torn
# There's nothing where he used to lie
# My inspiration has run dry
# That's what's going on
# Nothing's fine, I'm torn
# I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
# I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
# Illusion never changed into something real
# I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
# You're a little late, I'm already torn. #
CHEERING
# I guess now it's time for me to give up
# I feel it's time
# Got a picture of you beside me
# Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
# Oh, yeah
# Got a fist of pure emotion
# Got a head of shattered dreams
# Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now
# Whatever I said, whatever I did
# I didn't mean it
# I just want you back for good
# Want you back, want you back, want you back for good
# Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
# You'll be right and understood
# Want you back, want you back
# I want you back for good
# Unaware but underlined
# I figured out this story No, no
# It wasn't good No, no
# But in the corner of my mind Corner of my mind
# I celebrated glory
# But that was not to be
# In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
# Can't you find Can't you find
# A little room inside for me For me
# Whatever I said, whatever I did
# I didn't mean it
# I just want you back for good
# Want you back, want you back
# See, I want you back for good
# Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
# You'll be right and understood
# Want you back, want you back
# I want you back for good
# And we'll be together
# This time is forever Forever
# We'll be fighting and forever we will be
# So complete in our love
# We will never be uncovered again
# Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
# I just want you back for good
# Want you back, want you back, want you back for good
# Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
# You'll be right and understood
# Want you back, want you back
# See, I want you back for good
# Whenever I'm wrong, I'll tell you
# I just want you back for good
# Want you back Want you back
# I want you back for good
# Whenever I'm wrong, I'll tell you
# I want you back Want you back
# I want you back
# See, I want you back for good
# Oh, yeah
# I guess now it's time
# That you came back for good. #
CHEERING
# Who broke my heart?
# You did, you did
# Bow to the target
# Blame Cupid, Cupid
# You think you're smart?
# Stupid, stupid
# Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
# Shoot that poison arrow
to my heart
# Shoot that poison arrow. #
