George Michael 有首被低估的作品,叫 “Understand”(明白)歌詞內容敘述一個男人如何認識女人的過程,從走到女人面前要電話的那一刻開始,改變了許多未來的故事。 年輕時候的我們,常覺得無所不能,也必須贏。但在愛情之後,仍必須追逐經濟上的實踐才能生存。 男人在挫折之餘,對神吶喊著為何聽不見他需求?所有男人曾經對女人的承諾,似乎都無法實現,無論男人如何努力.....男人接著對女人說,『我希望妳能明白,這一切並不是我所期待計畫的結果』。只有神知道男人的夢想是達成還是失去,不論如何男人努力嘗試著。
Woman, don't you ever wonder
Where you'd be if I just walked on by
What's your name?
Can I take your number?
Darling come with me
I'm going to change your life
When you're young you think you're winning
Why worry till the babies cry?
I was wrong; it's the blues we're singing
Chasing after pennies just to survive.
And there's no way the gods are hearing me baby
They don't even try
They don't even try
And all the things I said I'd give you
Just seem to pass me by
No matter how I try
I hope you understand
This is not what I had planned for us
God only knows if my dreams are coming or gone
(Are coming or gone)
But you're still holding my hand
Sweetheart (sweetheart)
And for every single day you're here
It's crystal clear
That God isn't mad at me at all
He ain't mad at me at all
And all this praying hard ain't gonna save the day
Maybe that's really what I'm guilty of
I know we live in times when love is not enough
It's not enough
(no no no no no)
And there's no way the gods are hearing me
Baby, they don't even try
They don't even try
And all the things I said I'd give you
Just seem to pass me by
(No matter how I try)
I hope you understand
This is not what I had planned for us
Heaven only knows if our dreams are coming or gone
(Coming or gone, coming or gone)
But you're still holding my hand
Sweetheart (Sweetheart)
So for every single day that you're here
It's crystal clear
That God isn't mad at me at all
He ain't mad at me at all
There's a place in my mind
Somewhere we could be fine
Where the children would play
And we'd eat like kings every day
