wham! - last christmas

Happy Christmas

(Chorus)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day,
You gave it away, (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special, (special)

(REPEAT)

(Verse 1)

Once bitten and twice shy,
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye,
Tell me baby, do you recognise me,
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me.

Happy Christmas,
I wrapped it up and sent it,
With a note saying "I love you",
I meant it,
Now I know what a fool I've been,
But if you kiss me now,
I`ll know you've fool me again.

(Chorus)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day,
You gave it away (you gave it away),
This year to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special (special).

(Repeat)

Oh, Oh Baby.

(Verse 2)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes,
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice,
My God I thought you were,
Someone to rely on,
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart,
A man undercover but you tore me apart,
Oooh Ooh,
Now I've found a real love,
You'll never fool me again.

(Chorus)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
But the very next day,
You gave it away (you gave it away),
This year to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special (special).

(Repeat)

Face on a lover with a fire in his heart,
A man undercover but you tore him apart.

Maybe next year.

I'll give it to someone,
I'll give it to someone special.

wham! - careless whisper

Time can never mend the careless whispers, of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

Should've known better

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
That you had to leave me alone

wham! - murmullo inoportuno

Me siento tan inseguro
Mientras tomo tu mano y te llevo a la pista de bailar
Mientras la música muere?
Algo en tus ojos
Nos ve a la mente ese rostro plateado
Y todo es un triste adiós

Nunca voy a bailar nuevamente
Los pies culpables no llevan el ritmo
Aunque es fácil simular
Se que tú no eres tonta
Debería haberlo sabido mejor antes de engañar a un amigo
Y desperdiciar una oportunidad que me había sido dada
Pues yo nunca volveré a bailar
De la manera que bailé contigo

El tiempo nunca dá
El murmullo inoportuno de un buen amigo
Para el corazón y mente
Tu respuesta es buena
No hay confort en la verdad
Dolor es todo lo que hay

Nunca voy a bailar nuevamente
Los pies culpables no llevan el ritmo
Aunque es fácil simular
Se que tú no eres tonta
Debería haberlo sabido mejor antes de engañar a un amigo
Y desperdiciar una oportunidad que me había sido dada
Pues yo nunca volveré a volver a bailar
De la manera que bailé contigo

¿Qué soy yo sin tu amor?

Esta noche la música parece tan ruidosa
Desearía que pudiéramos salir de este gentío
Tal ves sea mejor
Herimos a otros con las cosas de hoy

Podríamos haber estado bien juntos
Podríamos haber vivido este baile
Pero ahora, ¿quién va a bailar conmigo?
Por favor quédate

Nunca voy a bailar nuevamente
Los pies culpables no llevan el ritmo
Aunque es fácil simular
Se que tú no eres tonta
Debería haberlo sabido mejor antes de engañar a un amigo
Y desperdiciar una oportunidad que me había sido dada
Pues yo nunca voy a volver a bailar contigo

Ahora que te has ido...
Ahora que te has ido...
Ahora que te has ido...
¿Qué es lo que hice tan mal?
¿Tan mal que tu has tenido que dejarme solo?

wham! - bad boys

Woo-woo
Dear mummy, dear daddy,
You had plans forme, i was your only son.
And long before this baby boy could count to three,
You knew just what he would become.
Run along to school,
No child of mine grows up a fool,
Run along to school.
When you tried to tell me what to do,
I just shut my mouth and smiled at you,
One thing that i know for sure-

Bad boys
Stick together, never sad boys
Good guys
They made rules for fools, so get wise...

Dear mummy, dear daddy,
Now i'm nineteen as you see,
I'm handsome, tall, and strong.
So what the hell gives you the right to look at me,
As if to say "hell, what went wrong?"
Where were you last night?
You look as if you had a fight.
Where were you last night?
Well i think that you may just be right,
But don't try to keep me in tonight,
Because i'm big enough to break down the door.

Bad boys
Stick together, never sad boys
Good guys
They made rules for fools, so get wise...

Boys like you, are bad through and through.
Still, girls like me, always seem to be with you....
We can't help but worry,
You're in such a hurry,
Mixing with the wrong boys,
Playing with the wrong toys.
Easy girls,
And late nights,
Cigarettes, and love bites
Why do you have to be so cruel?
You're such a fool

Bad boys
Stick together, never sad boys
Good guys
They made rules for fools, so get wise...

wham! - a different corner

I'd say love was a magical thing
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there

I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare, no I don't dare

'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared, I'm so scared

Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care

I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
Little by little you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care

No I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love

And if all that there is is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

wham! - wham rap 86

wham! - freedom

Everyday I hear a different story
People say that you're no good for me
So you love another
And she's making a fool of you
Oh
If you love me baby
Don't deny it
But you left me
And tell me
I should try it
Tell me I'm a baby
And I will understand

But to know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby
You could take me to heaven and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody's baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don't need your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can't escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys
You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool
To give you all I do
Bet you someday
Baby
Someone says the same to you

But to know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby
You could take me to heaven and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

Oh

I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody's baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don't need your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you

But to know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby
You could take me to heaven and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

I don't want your freedom
I don't need to play around
I don't want nobody's baby
Part-time love just brings me down

I don't want your
(I don't want your)
I don't want your
(I don't want your)
I don't want your
(I don't want your)
I don't want your
(I don't want your)
Oh...

wham! - wake me up before you go go

Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
You put the boom boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your loving starts
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang bang bang till my feet do the same
If something's bugging you
If something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleeping in my bed
I was dreaming but I should have been with you instead

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high

You put the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
You turn a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same
'Cause you're my lady I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on baby lets not fight
We'll go dancing everything will be alright

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high
yeah, yeah, yeah
jitterbug, jutterbug

Cuddle up baby move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there but its warm in bed
They can dance, we'll stay home instead
jitterbug

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high

wham! - a ray of sunshine

Move it move it, baby
Can't you see I'm ready to dance?
And I can't stop this rhythm in my heart.
Move it move it baby,
Can't you see I'm ready to dance?
Without this beat my life would fall apart.
Shuffle on your feet till the floor is hot,
Gonna make a lot of money,
Gonna break your heart.
Watch out boy, (watch out boy)
Shuffle on your feet till the floor is hot,
Gonna make a lot of money,
Gonna break your heart.

But I'm the only one with a key.
And that's me.

Sometimes,
You wake up in the morning with the bass line,
A Ray of Sunshine,
Sometimes,
You know today you're gonna have a good time,
And you're ready to go.

Move it move it baby
Can't you see I'm ready to dance?
And I can't keep my rhythm in my heart.
Move it move it baby,
Can't you see I'm ready to dance?
Without this beat my life would fall apart.
Shuffle to the beat,
Gonna take a cut,
There's money in your feet,
Gimme what you got.
Watch out boy, (watch out boy)
Suffle to the beat,
Gonna take a cut,
There's money in your feet,
Gonna stitch you up.

Any other boy that you see,
But not me.

Sometimes,
You wake up in the morning with the bass line,
A Ray of Sunshine,
Sometimes,
You know today you're gonna have a good time,
And you're ready to go.
Turn the music up,
Turn the music up, turn it up,
because it's all I've-
All that I've got.

Shuffle to the beat
Gonna take a cut,
There's money in your feet,
Gimme what you got.
Watch out boy, (watch out boy)
Suffle to the beat,
Gonna take a cut,
There's money in your feet,
Gonna stitch you up.

Sometimes,
You wake up in the morning with the bass line,
A Ray of Sunshine,
Sometimes,
You know today you're gonna have a good time,
And you're ready to go.

wham! - battlestations

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

Chorus:
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

Chorus

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)
'cos 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 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)

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! - club tropicana

Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face,
Brush shoulders with the stars.
Where strangers take you by the hand,
And welcome you to wonderland -
From beneath their panamas...

Chorus:
Club Tropicana, drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine - there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan!

Castaways and Lovers meet,
Then kiss in Tropicana's heat,
Watch the waves break on the bay.
Soft white sands, a blue lagoon,
Cocktail time, a summer's tune,
A whole night's holiday!

Chorus

Pack your bags,
And leave tonight.
Don't take your time,
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight!
Cool, cool, cool, cool

Chorus

Cool, cool, cool, cool

wham! - come on

Chorus:
Come On, Everybody!
Get on, with your party!
And don't let nobody say you're wrong.
O.K.
So you've lost control,
But they'll never steal your soul
No way!
That they're gonna spoil your fun.

Greedy men, in far off places,
Don't be afraid to show your faces.
We know what you've done is wrong,
But clap your hands, and sing along now!
Don't even bother, to let us know,
When you flick the switch and stop the show,
Because the party has begun,
And we'll still be dancing, as-you-run-now!

Chorus

Oh no, don't think that I'm not scared,
Oh no, don't think that I'm prepared.
I just take each day as it comes,
Because it may - it may -,
It may be the last one!
I know they don't care about me,
I ain't got no money, ain't a V.I.P.
And I know they don't care about you,
You may - as well - enjoy your life like I do!

Chorus

wham! - credit card baby

Said that you love me
Thought that it was true
You said that you needed me
And baby I believe that too
I thought that you were shy
But you put me straight
With the wink of your eye
I should have known better
I know
But now my hand's in my pocket
Every time I see you cry

People think that you're so sweet
But they don't know you
Quite like I do
I guess they think
I'm a lucky guy
But you're not fooling
Everybody

You can have my credit card
Baby
But keep your red hot fingers
Off my heart
Lady
All I know is what I see
You're getting what you want
Girl
It ain't just me
No matter how you cry
I'm not giving any love away
Do you think I'm crazy
All I know is what I see
But what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me
Baby

You tell me you love me
'Cause I know that it's not true
Just tell me
You need my money
Girl
You know I'll give it to you
Between the ocean and sky
There are things
That you can't buy
And if you look you'll see
One of them is me
Take your hands out of my pockets
Dig until the day you die

People think that you're so sweet
But they don't know you
Quite like I do
I guess they think
I'm a lucky guy
But you're not fooling
Everybody

You can have my credit card
Baby
But keep your red hot fingers
Off my heart
Lady
All I know is what I see
You're getting what you want
Girl
It ain't just me
No matter how you cry
I'm not giving any love away
Do you think I'm crazy
All I know is what I see
But what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me
Baby

They don't know you
Quite like I do
And you're not fooling
Anybody
You can have my credit card
Baby
But keep your red hot fingers
Off my heart
Lady
All I know is what I see
You're getting what you want
Girl
It ain't just me
No matter how you cry
I'm not giving any love away
Do you think I'm crazy
All I know is what I see
But what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me
Baby

This boy's got better things to do
Hell,

Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife,

Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi
A white cool cat with a trilby hat

Give a wham give a bam but don't give a damn
Cos the benefit gang are gonna pay!

Now reach up high and touch your soul,
The boys from wham! will help you reach that goal.
It's gonna break your mama's heart, (so sad)
It's gonna break your daddy's heart, (too bad)

wham! - everything she wants

Uh huh huh...
Oh yeah...
Work...work...
Somebody told me,
Boy, everything she wants is everything she sees...
I guess I must have loved you.
'Cause I said you were the perfect girl for me,
Maybe...
But now we're six months older...
And everything you want and everything you see,
Is out of reach...not good enough...
I don't know what the hell you want from me but boy...
Uh huh huh...
Oh...oh...
Uh huh huh...
Doo doo doo...
La la la la...
Somebody tell me,
Won't you tell me...
Why I work so hard for you?
All to give you money
All to give you money...
Some people work for a living,
Some people work for fun,
Girl, I just work for you.
They told me marriage was a give and take,
Well, show me you can take you've got some giving to do.
And now you tell me that you're having my baby,
I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to...
One step further and my back will break,
If my best isn't good enough
Than how can it be good enough for two?
I can't work any harder than I do...
Somebody tell me,
Won't you tell me...
Why I work so hard for you?
All to give you money,
All to give you money...
Oh...
Why do I do the things I do?
I'd tell you if I knew.
My God...
I don't even think that I love you....
Won't you tell me...
Tell me...tell me...tell me...
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 that manner through that door,
Like a stranger,
But the wages...
I give you all you say you want is love...
And all I can see is 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.
