Careless Whisper is famous for its iconic introductory saxophone riff and was written by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley while both were members of Wham!. George Michael later expressed mixed feelings about the song, despite its massive global success. The concept for the song came to Michael while riding on a bus to his job.
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 a silver screen And all its sad goodbyes
I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're 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 - oo - oo ohh oh
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 you're not a fool I 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, ohh oh.
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 now who'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 you're not a fool I 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
Oh ho (Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone (Now that you're gone) Was what I did so wrong? so wrong, that you had to leave me alone? Do-waa ahh, do-waa ahh, do-waa ahh, (repeat to fade)
