Wham!

Songwriter: George Michael

Producer: George Michael

You ask too much of me
You try my patience
Your tongue, it's like a razor
You choose your words like weapons
Here we go, battlestations
I never have the guts to let you look inside
I don't think you'd appreciate the things that I hide
Monday was the worst day
And Friday wasn't my day
But Wednesday was the best day
Because on Wednesday night we made love
All I'm trying to give you is a good time honey
Why d'ya have to keep on playing games with my head?
Used to be your baby, when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle than we ever do in bed
Than we ever do in bed
You don't know how much I hate that answer phone
Are you standing there?
But, you won't pick up the 'phone
Why lie to my face?
(When you can buy a tape machine to give me bullshit in your place)
Today I did something I thought I'd never do
I opened up your diary and read about you
Monday was the worst day
And Friday wasn't my day
But Wednesday was the best day
Because on Wednesday night we made love
All I'm trying to give you is a good time honey
Why d'ya have to keep on playing games with my head?
Used to be your baby, when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle than we ever do in bed, yeah
Than we ever do in bed
Monday was the worst day
Wednesday we made love
And Friday, ooh but
Saturday, is today, is what I'm thinking of
Come in baby, come in close
Take off your designer clothes
'Cause you know what I'm thinking of
Do you remember me? Do you remember us?
Do you remember love?
All I'm trying to give you is a good time, baby
Why d'ya have to keep on playing games with my head?
Used to be your baby when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle than we ever do in bed
All I'm trying to give you is a good time, baby
Why d'ya have to keep on playing games with my head?
Used to be your baby when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle than we ever do in bed
La premiere fois tu m'as fait beaucoup rire
Tu etais si mignon, et tu jouais du piano
Maintenant, mon mellieur ami c'est l'argent
Au revoir, cheri
Au revoir, mon amour

Wham! were an English pop group, formed in 1981 by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. Despite how brief their career was, the duo had a lot of impact and George Michael went on to become a successful solo artist.

Their first moment in the limelight came in 1982 when they were picked to go on Top of the Pops, and performed the single “Young Guns (Go for It!)”. It was an overnight sensation and peaked at #3 in the UK charts, paving the way for further singles “Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)”, “Bad Boys” and “Club Tropicana”. By the time they released their debut album Fantastic in 1983, Wham! had become one of Britain’s biggest pop acts. International recognition came with Make It Big in 1984, along with a string of hit singles — “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” entered the charts around the world at #1, as well as “Careless Whisper” (issued as George Michael solo piece), “Freedom” and “Last Christmas”, which made it to #2 after “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, where George Michael also participated.

By 1986, George Michael wanted to distance himself from Wham! and launch a solo career, so a final greatest hits album The Final (marketed as Music from the Edge of Heaven in the US and Japan) was released. Farewell single “The Edge of Heaven” went to #1 in the UK and made it to the top 10 in America.
