George Michael Quotes About Songs

Quotes about: Songs

• So you scream from behind your door, say what's mine is mine, and not yours
  I may have too much, but I'll take my chances
  Cause God's stopped keeping score
  And you cling to the things they sold you
  Didn't you cover your eyes when they told you that he can't come back
  Cause he has no children to come back for
  It so hard to learn, there's so much to hate
  Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
  And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
  So maybe we should all be praying for time

But we couldn't do that over here because we couldn't release a single without an album.

• A lot of people felt that I was just tying that into the "I Want Your Sex" theme because of the AIDS thing and the prospect of the song's being banned.
