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...
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...

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.
