A Different Corner
George Michael · Ladies & Gentlemen CD1
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
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
A Different Corner
Released in 1987 on the album Ladies & Gentlemen, "A Different Corner" stands as a defining track in George Michael's evolution from Wham! to a solo artist. The song captures the melancholic and introspective mood of the late 1980s, featuring Michael's signature falsetto and a smooth, soul-infused production style. It reflects a period where he began exploring deeper emotional themes, moving away from the upbeat pop of his earlier career. The recording showcases his vocal versatility and the polished sound that would characterize his subsequent work, cementing his status as a major figure in modern pop music.
