Father Figure

(album: Ladies & Gentlemen: The Songs Of George Michael - 2014)

That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred in your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked at your side

Sometimes I think that you'll never understand me
(Understand me)
Maybe this time is forever, say it can be

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred in your life
Just for one moment, to be warm and naked at my side

Sometimes I think that you'll never understand me
(Understand me)
But something tells me together, we'd be happy, whoa, whoa

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time

That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's blue eyes shine

This time I think that my lover understands me
(Understands me)
If we have faith in each other then we can be strong

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time

If you are the desert, I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger, hunger for me
Whatever you ask for, that's what I'll be
So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared but then
Laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling, don't think of me
Because all I ever wanted
Is in your eyes
And love can't lie, no

(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always telling me so
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time

I will be your father, I will be your
(I will be your preacher teacher), yeah
(I will be your mother)
I'll be your daddy
(I will be the one who loves you)
'Til the end of time
