Wham Rap!

Wham!
Bam!

A man!
Job or no job
You can't tell me I'm not
Do! You!
Enjoy what you do?
If not
Just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

You got soul...
You got soul...
I said get, get, get on down
Said get, get, get on down
Said get, get, get on down
Said get, get, get on down
Hey everybody take a look at me
I've got street credibility
I may not have a job
But I have a good time
With the boys that I meet "Down on the line"
I said
I-don't-need-you
So you don't approve 
Well who asked you to?
Hey-jerk-you-work
This boy's got better things to do
Hell
I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt
I choose, to cruise
Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife
I've found my groove and I just can't lose
A.1. style from head to toe
Cool cat flash gonna let you know
I'm a soul boy - I'm a dole boy
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy!

Wham!
Bam!
I am!
A man!
Job or no job
You can't tell me I'm not
Do! You!
Enjoy what you do?
If not
Just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!


Party nights and neon lights
We hit the floors, we hit the heights
Dancing shoes, and pretty girls
Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls!
Hot-dam!
Everybody, lets play!
So they promised you a good job-no way!
One, two, three, rap!
C'mon everybody, don't need this crap!

Wham!
Bam!
I am!
A man!
Job or no job
You can't tell me I'm not
Do! You!
Enjoy what you do?
If not
Just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

If you're a pub man or a club man
Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hifi
A white cool cat with a triliby hat
Maybe leather and studs is where you're at
Make the most of every day
Don't let hard times stand in your way
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
But you'll throw the dice and take my advice
Because I know that you're smart
Can you dig this thing?
Yeah!
Are you gonna get down?
Yeah!
Say wham
Wham!
Say bam
Bam!

Wham!
Bam!
I am!
A man!
Job or no job
You can't tell me I'm not
Do! You!
Enjoy what you do?
If not
Just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

Do you wanna to work?

Do you wanna be a jerk?
No!
Are you gonna stay young?
Yeah!
Everybody say Wham!

Young Guns

Hey sucker (What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker (Now there's nothing you can do!)
Well I hadn't seen your face around town a while
So I greeted you with a knowing smile
When I saw that girl upon your arm
I knew she'd won your heart with her fatal charm
I said "Soul boy, let's hit the town!"
I said "Soul boy, what's with the frown?"
But in return, all you could say, was
"Hi George, meet my fiancee"

Young Guns having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run
Wise guys realise, there's danger in emotional ties
See me, single and free
No fears, no tears, what I want to be
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!

Hey sucker (what the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker (now there's nothing you can do!)
A married man? You're out of you're head
Sleepless mights on a H.P. bed
A daddy by the time you're twenty-one
If you're happy with a nappy then you're in for fun
But you're here- You're there
Well there's guys like you just everywhre
Looking back on the good old days?
Well this Young Gun says caution pays!

Young Guns having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run
Wise guys realise, there's danger in emotional ties
See me, single and free
No fears, no tears, what I want to be
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!

I remember when we had such fun and everything was fine
I remember when we used to have agood time, partners in crime.
Tell me that's all in the past and I will gladly walk away
Tell me that you're happy now
Turning my back- nothing to say
"Hey tell this jerk to take a hike
There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like!"
"Well sugar he don't mean the things he said"
"Just get him out of my way, I'm seeing red
We got plans to make, things to buy
And you're wasting time on some creepy guy"
"Hey shut up chick, that's a friend of mine
Just watch you're mouth babe, you're out of line!"

Ooooooh! 
Get back 
Hands off
Go for it!
Get back 
Hands off
Go for it!

Bad Boys (Michael)

Woo-Woo
Dear Mummy, Dear Daddy,
You had plans for me,
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 a smiled at you,
One thing that I know for sure-

Bad Boys 
Stick Together, never sad boys
Good Guys 
They made rules so 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 so 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 so fools, so get wise...

Bad Boys 
Stick Together, never sad boys
Good Guys 
They made rules so fools, so get wise...

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 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

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


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 noone'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


Freedom

Everyday I hear a different story
People saying that you're no good for me
Saw your lover with another and she's making a fool of you
If you loved me baby you'd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I'm a baby and I don't understand
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell 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 baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't need your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you
Like a prisioner 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
I bet someday baby someone does the same to you
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do



Last Christmas

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

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 kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

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

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
Now I found a real love you'll never fool me again

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




Everything She Wants

I'm Your Man

And with some stimulation
We can do it right...
So why waste my time with others guys?
When you can have mine
I ain't asking for no sacrifice
Baby your friends do not need to know!
I've got a real nice place to go 
Listen

If you're gonna do it don't throw it away
Don't throw it baby
Because
I'll be your boy, I'll be your man
I'll be the one who understands
I'll be your first, I'll be your last
I'll be the only one you ask
I'll be your friend, I'Lll be your boy
I'll be the one who brings you joy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your pearl
I'll take you have way round the world!
I'll make you rich- I'll make you poor
Just don't use the door
Do it with me...



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


Battle Stations

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
'Cause 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)

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


Where did your heart go?
 
I spend my nights down on the wharf
In unlit alleyways
By the church downtown
Where Sally Prays
Come down sometime
We'll share a rusty can of corn
And listen to the radio
I love you, I love you, it says

Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?

You cry, but I don't know
I've heard it all before
There it goes again 
The slamming of the door

Sometimes the river calls me
And at night it calls my name
Says "Put your troubles down beside me"
Things have always been the same
And Rock 'N' Roll won't teach me
What the river said that night
I jumped into his beauty and drifted out of sight 



The Edge Of Heaven

I could lock you up but I could not bear
To hear you screaming to be set free
I would chain you up if I thought you'd swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up but don't worry baby
You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to
It's too late to stop won't the heavens save me
My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you

Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your babies eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
When the passion dies
It's just a matter of time 
Before my heart is looking for a home

I'm like a maniac at the end of the day
I'm like a doggy barking at the door
So come and take me back to the place you stay
And maybe we can do iy once more
I'm dangerous but don't worry baby
I get excited at the things that you do
And there's a place in a dirty movie
'Cos nobody does it better than me and you

Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your babies eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Please don't tell me lies
It's just a matter of time 
Before my heart is looking for a home

I ain't got no more worries
I'm gonna spend some time with you
Loving you takes some courage
And don't you think I know it,
I know it, I know it, I know it

Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your babies eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Don't tell me lies
Because believe me baby 
On eday you'll wake up on your own

I ain't got no more worries 
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think I know it,
I know it, I know it, I know it
