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 play 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 gotta have 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 lover boy 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...

    General Comment:I think this is song is about Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

    When he says, "You gotta have faith" - its about having faith in our lord.

    The part where he says "I know all of the games you play, because I play them too" is about 1 Corinthians 33:4 where Jesus plays Bocci ball with child lepers and then heals them.

    "I know not everybody
    Has got a body like you"

    Jesus has a body of three parts, the father (head), son (lower region), and holy spirit (arms). Its a physical manifestation of God's love.

    "And when that love comes down
    Without devotion
    Well it takes a strong man baby
    But I'm showing you the door "

    Obviously, George Michael has learned the ways of the lord and has turned away from sodomy and other deviant sexual behavior. I have turned away from my gay friend for the very same reason, for his is a love of no devotion and only sin and weakness.

    "You mean every word you say"

    Of course God means every word he says, and you should listen to the word of God through his son Jesus Christ.

    "Can't help but think of yesterday
    And another who tied me down to loverboy rules"

    This also has to do with turning away from sinful, evil homosexuality. I was also tied down to loverboy rules by my gay friend once, but I have learned the ways of Jesus thanks to George Michael and other positive Christian influences, like Boy George and Milli Vanilli.

    "Before this river
    Becomes an ocean"

    This is in reference to Noah's Ark, and also dolphins - they live in both the river and the oceans. I love dolphins and I'm glad George Michael made that hidden reference to them.

    "Well I need someone to hold me
    But I'll wait for something more

    Yes I've gotta have faith... "

    HEEELLLOO! How much more obvious can that be? I want something more. I want Jesus.

    General Comment:I think it's about hanging out for something real - having faith that someone special is going to come along - rather than just settling for whoever is around just because you're lonely.

    General Comment:i think this song is about a man engaged to a woman but calls off the wedding hence the bells at the beginning cuz he realises he actually doesn't love this woman and needs to have faith that he'll find someone else in the future even though she could've quite possibly been the only chance for him to settle down with someone in life. I heard this song was about Kathy Jeung so maybe he was engaged to her. If that's the case then good thing Georgie didn't go through with the wedding.

    General Comment:This song is about love, and reflecting on what love is trluy all about. It's not about head games, or broken hearts, love is spiritual, everlasting and full of faith. He's waiting for the right one to come along and refusing to take back the one who truly broke his heart, by playing games...
