Lyrics
I would lock you up
But I could not bear to hear you
Screaming to be set free
I would chain you up
If I'd thought you'd swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up
But don't worry baby
You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to
It's too late to stop
Won't the heavens save me?
My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you
You take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide you baby's eyes and we can...
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
When the passion dies -
It's just a matter of time before my heart is
Looking for a home
I'm like a maniac, at the end of the day
I'm like a doggie barking at your door
So come take me back to the place you stay
And maybe we can do it once more
You say I'm dangerous
But don't worry baby
I get excited at the things that you do
And there's a place for us in a dirty movie
'Cos no-one does it better than me and you
You take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can...
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Please don't tell me lies
It's just a matter of time before my heart is
Looking for a home
I ain't got no more worries
I'm gonna spend some times with you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it
You take me to the edge of heaven
You tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can...
You take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Don't you tell me lies, because believe me baby
One day you'll wake up on your own.
I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
Everyone's got their eyes on you
I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that I know it - เพลง
One of the things that I loved about George was that even though he was clearly the star of Wham!, He always tried to stay close to Andrew on stage. Sharing the spotlight.
@🦀Sébastien lol wtf are you talking about bro. Insecurity 😂
@🦀Sébastien all cap bruhhh
This and Careless Whisper were at the end of his WHAM days and are really good. Even though he went on to be a massive star you can see he is at full power already. So cool in this video and like you said you can tell he liked having Andrew there
@@S0nyToprano He never looked insecure to me , he didn’t need anyone , he was the epitome of greatness !!!!!!
Never-the-less, I think George's stuff was always the best as part of Wham, he was never as good once he went solo. When I look at him here, so full of life, knowing that he'd still be with us today if he hadn't f*cked his life up. It makes me both sad and angry. 😥😡
Imagine being 23 , ridiculously handsome, extremely talented , money in the bank and bringing your hugely successful band to an end to pursue a solo career when you know how badly insecure you are and will not have your band partner to lean on as a crutch, to help take the attention away from yourself..but you do it anyway because your talent is too big and too great for Wham.
I actually cried watching this go out on tv in 1986 as they were my favourite band , but less than a year later Faith was released. THANK YOU SO MUCH GEORGE..you’re an absolute legend and your music lives on
Yes!!! Georgios was supremely talented and a gift from Heaven! His music lives on and his artistry remains cemented in the annals of music forever!
Yess!!!
What a beautiful tribute to our Georgios. You said it and The music was his safe space. Performing was his love. Now Im crying. Lord I miss that man. 😢 💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔
Yess he was very young here 23 years just like i was 23 7 years ago he was 24-25 he was on solo faith album
He wasn't too talented for WHAM.....I liked the WHAM-Time WAY better than his solo-stuff. Don't get me wrong, his stuff was amazing but you know.....some stuff were only possible in the 80s. I adore this decade so much I could cry when I watch this.
George you are not on the edge of heaven you are there entertaining the angels with your beautiful voice miss you George rest in peace
With hindsight, you can sometimes imagine George Michael falling out of bed in the morning and writing a hit single before he hit the floor.
George was only 23 here but looked like a real man, wow George, what a magic you are.
I know..😉
@🦀Sébcrab Oh give it a rest.
I don't understand why this song is so underrated. I actually think this song is extremely good, maybe even one of the best of Wham.
I always loved this song. He wrote great stuff no matter what period he was in.
It's not underrated at all... This was the very last song Wham did and when George played his 25 Live concerts he always incorporated it in his set list.... As any Wham/George fan will tell you, its a classic, just because it's not heard as much as Last Christmas etc its still up there with all their hits
@@BeeBee-gi2zr And for those here thinking it's underrated today it wasn't when it was released in 1985/6...it was everywhere...it's 1 of their greatest hits...
Yes, my Favorite.
Ulderico Plum This is my first time actually hearing this song
The most beautiful man to have ever existed.
Facts💯
Agree
George had a heart as big as Texas.His generous charity was only dixmscovered after he passed.So humble.May he rest in peace.
I don’t know about you but watching this back reminds me of the best time in music. So much energy. So much freedom, what a fabulous pop tune. He was a rising star that gave us everything. Watching the Brit awards last night just wasn’t the same. How lucky were we to be teenagers at this magical time. ❤
I was senior in high school in 1986 when the song came out. Wham was my favorite in the 1980s. Old memories never die out
George was the ENTIRE package! Talent, good looks, hot, generous, and just a great human being! Love him more each day.
The dance moves George does in the beginning of the video are hot 🔥🔥🔥
Which musician other than George Michael could be more handsome , talented and charitable in one pack ?
Can't beat that 80's energy. One of their best.
😎🕺
Hell yeah..👍
That leather jacket means the end of Wham and the start of the Faith era
Great video and great song - definitely one of their very best. I think George needed Andrews light - hearted presence. The difference in his energy in Wham! and his later solo career is extraordinary. He's so missed. 🧡
He’s so close to his ‘Faith’ look transformation here ❤
Proper
George Michael. Can’t take my eyes off of him and, it’s the year 2020! Miss you George. RIP.
Me to can't believe it
Same!!! It‘s insane how pretty he was!! I wasn‘t even born when this was recordet but God I would freak out if someone would look like this today!! 😍😍😍
@@jackieooooxx4558 like what .?
@@kathyhayward2228 Same here. Such a huge loss💔🌹
@@kathyhayward2228 like GEORGE!!!!!!!!!!!!
George really had 'it' at an early age. He owned the stage, the voice, the moves. He developed the art of writing lyrics, putting one note after another together & make music to accompany his lyrics. One of if not the best live performer of all times. Keep the videos coming.
Good song
While I of course think Michael Jackson was the better at this, George Michael was phenomenally gifted. This isn’t bashing in the slightest. Michael Jackson was just out of this universe good at it while George was just a ring or 2 below.
There isn't a comparison between Michael Jackson and George Michael. Michael Jackson was one dimensional, he could sing and dance. George was multi talented, wrote lyrics, took one note at a time and eventually formed a complete song. George also taught himself how to play numerous musical instrument, he had rhythm and could senusually move while singing. Again, simply no comparison. George Michael was the ulitmate super star.
@@victoriadodds3953 come on let's not be biased now. Michael Jackson wrote and composed Billie Jean all by himself. That's argubally his best song and one of the best pop songs of all time.
Michael Jackson has some of the best music ever. What will be his legacy is the physical freak he turned into and his obsession with little boys. He will be forever tainted. For me at least.@@quicktingz2097
On top of everything else, gotta say, the man could dance.
My favourite Wham song! It was recorded the month my kid brother died aged just 34. It makes sad when I hear it, but also more importantly, makes me remember my late brother. Rip George and Edwin.
George Michael can sing any song his dances move was awesome he had women and men screaming for him he will always be a legend
I fell in love with George Michael in 1983 when I was 19. I could do all the dances like in Young Guns & Wham rap. I still miss him every day. Although we lost him too soon, his music will live on forever. You're right, he will always be a legend
every time you see them on stage,, no matter where,,, it Always looks like they are having a BLAST,,, I miss seeing this,, Andrew and George were freakin' AMAZING!!!!,, I know good things never last,, but I am so grateful I grew up listening to WHAM!!, my poor kids,, that was all I played when they were growing up,, and lol my Grandkids,, Hey,,, Good Music is Good Music!!!🥰😘
Hes got the moves as well, the whole goddam package, a musical freak in a nice way
George was one of the best. We lost George, when he was 53. When, we lost George, we lost one of the best. He was so electric & chrismantic
George's dancing is just so Sublime... I mean seriously come on.. no one did it or does it better today. This is really a great song vocally, lyrically, Melody wise and the presentation was so eye catching. This is one time you could forget they really weren't singing and playing!
Michael Jackson obviously danced better. But George Michael had great moves for a white guy.
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
He was a good person and so talented!
I love George and Andrew! If I were a teen back then I would have had both on my wall. I love the talent and charisma! They are so fun to watch. The persona they created within WHAM! epitomizes the freedom, whimsy, pizazz, and innocence of the 80s!❤❤❤
My first concert was Wham at the Brixton Academy. Must have been 1986. I was 12 and I remember them playing this song. Probably the best moment of my childhood. Thanks Dad xx
I love you george , god bless 💛💛
Look at that confidence he had...yeah...yeah!!!! Had that in his career ..... forever George Michael...you had it from the go....in this video ...it was seen and felt from your success!!! WHAM!!
Alongide his many prodigious talents, George Michael also possessed the greatest clap in popular music.
George Michael will always be the most handsome, the most cheritable and the most sex appealing king of music.
I have to agree.
You are from India! Also my childhood name was Moushami.
Better than the music they play today
I betcha!!!!!!!!!!
Amen.
That's because regardless of some of frivolity of Whams song George was a true talent. Unlike a lot of 'modern songwriters' he was a craftsman that not only wrote songs but played instruments too, Wham was the launchpad for his amazing solo career.. He had so much talent and he was a lovely person too, I miss him very much, he was amazing live and he was bloody gorgeous too! x
Yes!
Yeah. They were supposed to put THIS song on graduation parties, not damn Now United, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, or any fake pop idols from 21th century. They could as well put as background songs the Beatles' songs, the Rolling Stones' songs, the Who's songs, Culture Club's songs, Wham's songs. But no, they don't. They put every single current literal bull shit.
George & Andy ♥️
What a duo. They look as if they having the best time ever, as if they were born to be on that stage.
I love George Michael and the 80's so much!
George Michael is one of the best musician singer ever lived.
We miss you George!😭💔
I miss him too
It’s 2023 ❤ Listen to these other Wham songs that I haven’t heard back then in the late 80’s. I’m loving them. THIS one I can put as one of my favorites.
Love to see these guys perform.
I miss George Michael 😢 RIP 🙏🏼🕊️💙to an Icon who made incredible music.
My first love ,George Michael😍
how touching,
Mine too!!!!!😍
Deborah Hillier. Mine too.
And mine 😊😍
Same here. Careless Whisper. I was 4.
I remember to have seen this song on top of the pop at the telly with my parents. I was 18 years old !
He was so ahead of his time george and new exactly what he was doing an absolute genius and great guy R.IP GEORGE
Well said👏😎 RIP George Michael🙏💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
No, he didn't I say. Nice guy though, no argument there. I just wish he had been more smarter; our enemies are everywhere and we need to be so strong to handle what they throw at us.
Nobody is perfect and God loves him just the way he is. ❤️
The one and only Deon Estus on bass. The unseen hero behind a lot of George’s hits
I loved Deon too. Don't you love his song Heaven Help Me that George sang backup on?
I kinda wish Wham would've continued on, they looked so cool and handsome during the time of 'the edge of heaven', I actually think it's my favourite. And musically I think they still weren't done and over. Of course I love George's solo career, but I personally don't believe Wham had run its course at that point. Eh, still for the little time they were together, they gave us soo much.
I agree, wham ended prematurely. George could have given it a couple more years. In those two years we could have had more of these pop gems before he went on to the serious solo stuff. Such an amazing talent.
Couldn't take my eyes off of him and listened intently to the lyrics even though I've heard the song a thousand times over in the last 34 years. Now that's a good song written and performed by the incomparable Talent of George Michael and the appealing concept that Wham had. George is simply one of a kind. RIP we miss you dearly and forever ❤❤
Hopefully one day George's estate will release the Wham final live concert, at Wembley Stadium back in the day, 28th June 1986, which has never seen the light of day..it would be amazing for the fans if it got released one day.😊👌👌
Absolutely agree ..
Agree with you Kevin Brown...
but wouldn't it be awesome
to ALSO have the Wham! and Yog videos & duets & maybe the best of the best interview snippetts.
💕 Miss George...
Fame is such a beast...
Was watching an interiew of him the other day & the sublime beauty
of his joy 💕 ...
anyones joy really ...
& how he was so hounded by the media & how disrespectful they were to him. Horrible not to be able to walk down the street in peace !!!
He had such a beautiful & sweet soul....makes me so sad...
as ANYONE who had to experience that ~
would have been affected too.
It just makes me wonder ...if he had been able to create a
"Branson Missouri" concert venue in England & performed when he felt like it with out all the hassle of the travel & the interviewing & the selling of himself ...If it would have made a difference somehow. Elton, Adele, The Stones, Sting, Amy Winehouse
& all the other English performers....make life a little easier for them all.
This fame devouring people
thru paparazzi, newspapers, magazines & interviewers, & all the fucking autographs - ( people - really ?
...wouldn't it just be nice to spend a moment with him & say - hey ....thank u for all the great music - u r loved & enjoy your day)... & the grouling touring schedules- this all has to stop !
Winehouse, Brittany Spears,
Lady Gaga ...
( & Lady Di )
How many are going to be gound up and spit out ?
❤💕❤💕❤💕❤💕❤
Let's hope so, I'm sure there's quite a lot of stuff that could be released but it's up to them I suppose... I love his new song, This is how.... He had so much more to give us, it's a travisty he's gone, huge loss to his 'lovelies'
@@BeeBee-gi2zr it's about time they released this wham final concert live, it's the fans who deserved it for being loyal to our favourite singer for all these years, and also the cover to cover show live which George never released to the fans, it's been recorded as we had don't let the sun go down on me video with Elton John..how great would it be to have these concerts released with George singing at his vocal best live..I really do hope that George's estate will read this..and we finally get what us fans so deserve.😊👌
@@BeeBee-gi2zr yes I like the new song very much indeed but we need more new material from George.😉👌👌
I get always so happy when I listen to music of WHAM! What was it a great time. 💓💓💓💓
Me too. It makes me smile. Puts me in a good mood. I don’t know any other music that does that for me. He was truly a gift from God❤️
George had it all!!!! Good heart looks and plenty of talent ❤❤❤❤❤❤
wow I love his funky jacket,Michael gone with last Christmas
Oh my God what era!!!!!! 80s greatest era of music. June 2021
Glad I was kid when this was on TV and on the Radio. Truly Grateful and Blessed Today. Got lucky with Life's Gifts.
On a different level
Great song this the final song from Wham!! Then George went on to superstar status with his Debut solo album Faith..RIP legend.👌👌
GEORGE 🍃🌹🍃 MICHAEL
Phenomenal Supermodel 🕊
Thank You for The Musical Legacy..
George, Your Wonderful Energy Continues in 21st Century too..💘
God he was in a league of his own.
Haha. Love the way George smiles at Andrew’s sheer audacity on the non guitar playing. Meanwhile, Andrew just styles it out and gets away with it because he’s so confident. Good times!
The crowd believed him and that's all that counts in the end. Music is just different, not about being the best but the most self-assured, sympathetic, convincing, popular. Although George, on the other hand, had it all. But he was a very rare species.
Legend never die! Wham forever! ❤🌹😘😘
❤️❤️
🌹🌹💋
Indeed
Top nummers maakte hij dezenook superr 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Прекрасное исполнение Джорджа ,ты лучше всех ,гениальный музыкант и певец ,поэт !
George's vocal style:
Wham Fantastic album = confident, having fun
Wham Make It Big = pop, ballads
Wham The Final = sexy, cool, (leading to Faith style)
I remember all of this as it was happening - loved me some Wham! - amazing
💜GEORGE💜
I have always loved so much this wonderful man, his talent is simply boundless 🤩🤩🤩 I love you George...till the end of time ♥️♥️♥️
Wow, where are your replies?
Your words are so genuine, you deserve heaven for supporting such a beautiful person,
Me too.
He had a gentle soul. Still missed.
Take me back to the 80s please. Everything was better.
He absolutely rocked this gig 🔥
Well said👏😎 RIP George Michael🙏💎💎💎💎💎
Forever George Michael and Wham !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful Voice Of George 💖💖 The Best Voice Sweet Voice Lovely Voice What Voice So So Beautiful ❤️ Splendid George
Belter of a track!!! George was a diamond!! Rest in peace dude
saw them in 1986. best live performance ive ever seen.
flawless performance.
I don't know why he was so insecure, he was gorgeous
Jean Bean he wanted his music to be heard, he wanted to be a mega star, but he didn’t want the fame, nor the scrutiny that came with it. I am 100% that he would have been happy to just let his music do the talking and nothing else. Unfortunately that’s not the way it works though and he couldn’t cope with the spotlight. By leaving Wham it was the best thing and the worst thing he did.
Ryan Richards yeah, he left wham so he wouldn’t be 40 singing young guns, but by doing that he was alone for years without the presence of his best friend, and it only got worse when he was entrapped
@Dynamitekid 100 George Michael was more of a man than most..he was a good man
If you're gay and brought up in an environment that is fairly homophobic, as pretty much everywhere was back then (and still is to a large extent), it leaves its mark. You hold back on everything because you're not sure how badly people are going to react to you.
@@th8257 He was a good man, eyes don't lie! I think that's why women loved him, he was beyond his pretty face. The world lost a genuine, talented, good man
George was so natural, loose & relaxed, everyone else was stiff & like actors.
absolutely loved him, still do.
I was born 10 years after this song was released... Love wham so much wish music was still like this. RIP George x
Litterlly one of the best songs performed live
Wham! was so legendary. I love them 💗💗
I love you forever George ❤❤ ❤
What a beautiful man
inside and out ❤
With a beautiful voice.
So damn hott in this video
🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥
Great Wham !! Great George !! 🤩🤩
Those moves, super !! 😍😍❤️❤️
😢😢✝️💖💖💖
George already has his "revenge" jacket from the Faith video.
George Michael will be Always my favorite Singer
Gosh, such a loss. RIP 🌹
Nice to see Deon Estus on bass whom George would return the favour helping out with background vocals on his solo hit Heaven Help Me 3 years later. There’s no denying Wham! recorded many great songs that have stood the test of time.
Shane Anthony met Dion in LA in Dec and he’s the nicest guy ..
Too true. That was a great album.
RIP to both Deon and George 😇🙏
Another George Michael classic.
Love his dancing.....he's got the moves!!!!......2020
Yes! He was not only talented but gorgeous as well. 😍😍❤️❤️
What a wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤
But Always knew... George Michael would continue and always continue... FOREVER AN ARTIST... ALWAYS LOVED.. NEVER FORGOTTEN.... FOREVER MISSED.... YES THATS YOU GEORGE MICHAEL!!!
TOO MUCH.
G.M.I.L.Y.F.
Fantastic!! I was 14 when this song came out and I went to The Final - it was amazing.
George Michael is so handsome omg, Good bless him and her magnificent voice
I am a Whamaholic so sad they split but I love George's solo Music Too. George left us too soon.💔 We will never know how much more music he would have blessed us with.🎶🎸
Aww miss you George Michael thanks for all the songs rip angel from australia 😇😇😇🥰🥰
Excellent excellent
Every time I play this song, I just feel like dancing. 🎶🎶🎶
A man who can dance and sing, my goodness, talk about a woman finding a treasure. 😀
Most of these comments saying George, George, George but Andrew was the one that got George to basically become the guy people know and love. I feel bad that Andrew Ridgeley didnt get the recognition he deserved. I understand that George was the star but still. Even to this day with interviews with Andrew Ridgeley, all they ask him is about George. They never ask what hes doing or anything.
"It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength"
YES ! ANDREW...❤😂❤
So cute when he hides his baby‘s Andrew‘s 👀 eyes!!❤️😂😎
Hey look! He's wearing his iconic Faith jacket and Andrew's wearing George's jacket in the Where Did Your Heart Go video.
This is not the faith jacket its one of a few replcas he burned one as well in freedom but not the same as in faith that was still in hi house
And Andrew is wearing the Faith boots!
@@lizlatford9372 there was a shop in the Kings Road, London that sold the boots. I bought a pair. they were ridiculously long and went rusty after a couple of years. They even had a few BSA jackets in there.
@@lizlatford9372 George has boots on too I don't know if its the same ones as Faith or similar but George had a lot of those Jackets from Faith he burned one in Freedom 90 not the Jacket but a replica he and Andy were similar things yes sometimes if Andy had a costume I think George pretty much got one similar to him or had one made that was like it if you look at their stage clothes they were beautifully coordinated they were so close they probably shared things though I don't think Andrew has on the Faith boots and that Jacket George has on is not the same one as in Faith its similar another one like it LOL though I do think they shared outfits I seen photo shoots of one wearing a shirt in one photo then another photo the other one will wear it its like a fish net shirt when they were younger LOL
@@lukeheatley4148 yeah the one in this video is not the same one in Faith I think its a replica he said he had a few jackets like that not sure it looks different to me here
The legend wham forever
What amazes me is how much George changed from when he did Bad Boys in 1983 to this is 1986. Another classic.
Did he really know he was so beautiful 😍
Takes me back to my youth! Love Wham! Love George
Wham!/legend and fantastik!
