This is the 12" version of the song and it was used strictly for the video. The version played on the radio is the 7" version, similar to this but edited down. It has a shorter intro & one whole verse was removed. Radio version goes "How could you settle for a boy like me. When all I could see was the end of the week? All the things we sign, and the things we buy . Ain't gonna keep us together, girl it's just a matter of time." 12" version goes "How could you settle for a boy like me when all I could see was the end of the week? All the things we sign, and the things we buy, Ain't gonna keep us together, it's just a matter of time. My situation never changes walking in and out of that door. Like a stranger for the wages, I give you all, you say you want more. And all I could see was the end of the week. All the things we sign, and the things we buy, Ain't gonna keep us together, Girl it's just a matter of time." So you can see a lot was edited out for radio play to make it shorter. The album version is vastly different and simpler. 7" version is 5:32, 12" version is 6:34.
George Michael was not just a vocalist, he was a songwriter, musician and producer. You should definitely listen to a live performance of his. A Different Corner live on BBC for example or songs from MTV Unplugged.
I saw him perform this song live and it blew the audience away! His voice was even better than the recording. He was a musical genius.

One of my favorite songs of all time❤🎉
Stan. Wham. A Different Corner. Outstanding!!!
Bought this album when it first came out. Memories
people gloss over the lyrics, but i don't think i've ever heard someone rip their ex to shreds in such a direct, yet eloquent way, in song.
Great song and reaction Stan ❤❤❤
This is my favorite song from wham! Please react to more Wham! ❤ loved the reaction
George's favourite Wham! song. The MTV unplugged version is even better 💜 link below 👇

The radio version was the short edited version because when I bought the album, I heard the extended verson
Yes Stan you are right. I don't remember some of them parts either.
Far and away my favorite Wham!/George Michael song. I mean, it’s just a jam.
