| | Father Figure Lyrics Artist(Band):George Michael
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 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 But something tells me together, we'd be happy I will be your father figure (Oh baby) Put your tiny hand in mine (I'd love to) I will be your preacher teacher (Be your daddy) Anything you have in mind (It would make me) I will be your father figure (Very happy) I have had enough of crime (Please let me) I will be the one who loves you till 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 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 till 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 It's in your eyes baby, baby 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 So I am gonna love you till the end of time I will be your father I will be your preacher I'll be your daddy I will be the one who loves you till the end of time (return to top) If you find some error in Father Figure Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Father Figure I Love this song | Reviewer: Mannan | 8/12/09 When i was of 4 years i had hard this song first time in ma car with ma eldest bro.He is a lover of this and at that time i just love his voice and the music. but now i can under stand the lyrics so i love whole song.... thanks to George Michale For this wonderful song... Love u... Great song! | Reviewer: Elizabeth | 1/8/09 I remember this song since I was in high school and Father Figure still one of my favorite songs. In every song written by Michael he only expressed himself and he did a great job. Exceptional talent! Simply he gave us his words and his feelings. Every person has they own view and please do not take this song literally. Simply enjoy the song! DO NOT COMPLICATE YOUR LIFE. What i think it actually is | Reviewer: Danielle | 12/11/08 First of all stop making it like this is a bad song about children and all that cause its not. All George is saying is he will take care of her and watch over her and make sure nothing ever happens like a father would do. thats why its FAther Figure not Father although he could have left the "ill be your daddy" line out. Good Advice.... | Reviewer: SebastianMichael | 10/15/08 Why are you people talking about Michael Jackson, when George Michael did the song? Not only does it shock me that nowadays nobody seems to know how to spell! (I.E. MichEAl when it's spelled MichAEl, but also that you people have no idea what you're talking about. Michael Jackson was NEVER molested, and neither was George Michael. So here's my good advice for the day "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Complex | Reviewer: adri | 9/25/08 This is a song that can be taken literally or not. I think personally, it's all about how you identify: with the woman, with Micheal, with his real life or with his statements. I think it's about power in relationships and sexual needs. Some women need to be dominated to feel good, some men need to dominate, sometimes that is reversed, and it doesn't matter if you are gay or straight, being molested as a child can really mess with your ability to have healthy adult relationships. However, many women try to find their solace in men rather than in themselves, and thats why I think the model is angry. So gender roles, sex games, and secrecy are more likely the subjects here than his actual life. Child Molestation | Reviewer: Sharon moore | 9/19/08 I have loved this song for years for years But after reading the lyrics I got to thinking that this song as about a pervert who has had his way whith Michael when he was a child and he decided to sing about it when you think about it he was not openly Gay when he came out with this song so he was merely trying to express himself and mostly people sing wand write about experience weather they say it is fact of fiction,there is always some truth to it all I can say is poor Micheal I still love the song and I love you. Child molestation | Reviewer: Sharon | 9/19/08 After reading the lyrics it really started to make me think, and I'm thinking, this is just my theory. here you have this Gay guy that is in the closet singing this passionate song about a father fugure. I think someone has had their way with him and said some of the same things to him when he was a child and when he got older he decided to sing about it. Just think about sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime. My interpretation | Reviewer: Jon | 9/12/08 So the song is actually about the end of a romantic relationship, and the continuation of that relationship in a figurative "father figure" and "child" role. Watch the video on youtube for more hints... After some consideration, it seems right to me that the video timeline is fragmented and not linear. When he picks her up in the cab at the beginning of the video, this is the current time, and their relationship is in the past. We get flashbacks to a passionate relationship in the past between George and the supermodel. We also get flashbacks of the supermodel fooling around on George with a photographer. This is presumably what ended their passionate relationship. This is also why the supermodel is upset when she looks in the mirror, because she made a mistake. George is saying that he will still love his supermodel 'til the end of time, in any way that he can, as a teacher, preacher, and ultimately a Father figure. He also says that she should remember him. When she walks down the runway, she is looking around for her benign Father figure and protector. There is nothing creepy, or stalker-like in the song or the video, and nothing about sex with children. Seriously, think about it. I'm still a little puzzled by the female with the cigar and mustach at the end of the video. I can only guess that it's some kind of a tongue-in-cheek, gay irony thing. In that context, George's sense of humor comes through. Brilliant! I love the song and the video! The song and video portray obsessive stalking | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/9/08 Okay, watching the video indicates that George Michael is a lowly cab driver who falls for a successful model whom he picks up one evening. He obsesses with her and wishes or even believes that she might actually want to be with him. He "stalks" her on a number of occasions (outside of her dressing room, at the photo shoot, outside of her apartment, and at the fashion show). The lyrics suggest this as well. He tells what "he wanted" and what he feels "she wanted" as justification for whatever actions he has taken. He also says, " but sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime", which also suggests some form of stalking. His obsession has turned into some weird sort of reality for him as he imagines himself in various affectionate positions with the model. But we see that it is only a figment of his imagination because later scenes show him replacing himself with another man who is shown kissing her in the back of his cab. Either that....or they really did have some sort of unlikely encounter that he can't let go of and feels he needs to "stalk" and "will love herr until the end of time", her even though she is clearly "beyond" the encounter they had. Stupid people take things literally, I guess | Reviewer: Petula | 1/31/08 This is not a song about child molestation, for pete's sake--and anyone who comes to that conclusion probably ought to pull their heads out of their asses before they suffocate. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Robin. This is a song about all-consuming love, a love that borders on the obsessive and dangerous. The love is portrayed as selfless, yet is overwhelming and almost oppressive in its insistence that the lover will be ALL--preacher, teacher, father--to the one he loves. No one can meet all of another person's needs, yet the lover is insistent that HE CAN and HE WILL. That sort of "love" can be exciting, but ultimately becomes a noose about the neck of the beloved.
