One More Try Lyrics

I've had enough of danger
People on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
I think it's time
That you let me know...
So if you love me say you love me
But if you don't just let me go...

'Cause teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
And the last one I had made me cry
So I don't want to learn to hold you touch you...
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy for an uptown boy

Whose teacher has told him goodbye goodbye goodbye

When you were just a stranger and I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes telling me no...
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song
I know it's wrong
Just let me go...
And teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had made me cry
So I don't want to learn to hold you touch you...
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy for an uptown boy

Whose teacher has told him goodbye goodbye goodbye

So when you say that you need me

That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong you're not that strong let me go
And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh
So I don't want to learn to hold you touch you...
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy for an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try...

George Michael (born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963 in East Finchley, London, England died on December 25, 2016 in Goring Oxfordshire, England) was an English pop musician of English/Greek Cypriot ancestry. Michael began his career by forming a band called The Executive together with his best friend Andrew Ridgeley, a fellow pupil at Bushey Meads School, though it did not survive for long.

It wasn't until he formed the duo Wham!, working together again with Ridgeley, in 1981 that he achieved success. Their first album, 'Fantastic!', achieved almost instant acclaim, and, within a year, they had released their classic debut single, "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)". Their second single, "Young Guns (Go For It)", became the first in a string of Top 10 hits in the U.K. singles chart, showing that they had captured a spirited, dance pop side of the popular new wave scene.

Those songs were rapidly followed by tracks such as "Bad Boys", "Club Tropicana", "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", "Freedom", "Last Christmas", "Everything She Wants", and "I'm Your Man". With the commercial and critical success seen by the band after their second album, 'Make It Big', they appeared to be on top of the world. George Michael also sang on the original Band Aid recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas", and he donated the profits from the "Last Christmas" / "Everything She Wants" dual-single release to the charity.

With the strong acclaim received by his solo releases "Careless Whisper" (1984) and "A Different Corner" (1986) stories of an impending Wham! split intensified. Michael and Ridgeley just seemed pulled in two distinct musical directions. The group duly separated in the summer of 1986 after a farewell single was released, "The Edge Of Heaven", and their last album came out. They did a well-received sell-out concert at Wembley Stadium as well.

Some of his biggest hit singles as a solo artist include the single "Faith" (taken from his debut album Faith that not only became number one on both sides of the Atlantic but also resulted in stunning four number one singles in America) and many more.

"Careless Whisper" (written when he was seventeen) became one of the most played songs of the decade and voted Londoner's Favourite record of all time in January 1995 in a competition run jointly by the capital's leading evening newspaper and radio station. He was then also voted Best Male Singer by the same radio station and by the readers of a national newspaper. Some of his other hits include "Father Figure", "One More Try", "Freedom 90", "Fastlove", "Jesus To a Child", "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" (a duet with Elton John), 2002's "Freeek!" and "Shoot the Dog".

Songfacts reports that "White Light" was made available to download on August 12, 2012, 30 years after George first entered the UK singles chart with “Young Guns (Go For It!).” He described the track as a "thank you to everybody who has been a part of [his] success", adding: "I mean everybody, including the press!! Long may it continue."
