Outside

George Michael · Ladies and Gentleman CD2

I think I'm done with the sofa
I think I'm done with the hall
I think I'm done with the kitchen table, baby

Let's go outside (let's go outside) in the sunshine
I know you want to, but you can't say yeah
Let's go outside in the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best

So my angel, she says, don't you worry
'bout the things they're saying, yeah
Got no friends in high places and the game that you gave away
wasn't worth playing

Let's go outside in the sunshine
I know you want to, but you can't say yeah
Let's go outside in the meantime
Take me to the places that I love best

And yes, I've been bad
Doctor, won't you do with me what you can
You see I think about it all the time, twenty-four seven
(Twenty- four, twenty-four seven)

You say you want it, you got it
I never really said it before
There's nothing here, but flesh and bone
There's nothing more, nothing more
There's nothing more, oh, oh, oh

Back to nature, just human nature
Getting on back to -

I think I'm done with the sofa
I think I'm done with the hall
I think I'm done with the kitchen table, baby

Let's go outside in the sunshine
I know you want to, but you can't say yeah
Let's go outside in the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best

And yes, I've been bad
Doctor, won't you do with me what you can
you see I think about it all the time
I'd service the community but I already have you see
I never really said it before

There's nothing here, but flesh and bone
There's nothing more, nothing more
There's nothing more
Let's go outside
Dancing on the D-train, baby

( You want it, you got it)
When the moon is high
( You want it, you got it)
And the grass is jumpin'
Come on, just keep on funkin'
( I'm dancing on the D-train)
Keep on funkin', just keep on funkin'

I'm dancing on the D-train
I'm dancing on the D-train........

Outside - George Michael

Released on the 1987 album Ladies and Gentleman, 'Outside' stands as a defining track in George Michael's solo career, marking his transition from the pop duo Wham! to a mature solo artist. The song blends R&B and pop sensibilities with a distinct vocal delivery that showcased Michael's growing range and emotional depth. As a key component of the album's second disc, the recording reflects the late 1980s musical landscape, characterized by its polished production and introspective themes. The track remains a staple of his discography, often cited alongside hits like 'Careless Whisper' and 'Faith' for its ability to capture both commercial appeal and personal vulnerability. Its enduring popularity underscores Michael's significant influence on modern pop music and his ability to craft songs that resonate across generations.
