George Michael - Precious Box Lyrics

In my house there's a circle, where the life comes in
From the stars to my home, down through the stone
I could have been so alone
Without my precious box
Have I a family? I guess not
I've never seen a lot of beauty
In my life

Well, in your house, there are servants
And the lights all dim
Such a beautiful home, your agent's on the phone
They never leave you alone
The party never stops!
You say that's fantasy, I say "so what, I need a little beauty"

Ooh, so let me in
You know you've kind of got under my skin
You know we never see a lot of the action round here
My dear
You may want to strip again

And you look so fine in your gucci suit
And you're making more money than your daddy
Could have imagined
But people can go out of fashion, honey, yeah, ooh, any time

Take that picture, stop acting so dumb
Don't you know that the moment will come
I will find someone like you
But with something extra, I'm sorry, baby
I don't know why
Say, I don't know why that is

The systematic breakdown of my community
You know I hate my job, I try to save but God
There's just never enough
Switch on, the pressure, stops
You know the one for me, she's on fox
And she's a little beauty

(Give me your life) give me your life, give me your life
I want it
Because lately, it's so freezing out here (this side of the glass, life keeps kicking my ass)
In so many ways, but you make it good
Made me the kind of happy that my baby never could
(This side of the glass) oh, yeah

I know that you would now, baby
Take that picture, stop acting so dumb
Don't you know that the moment will come
I will find someone like you
But with something extra, I'm so sorry, baby
I don't know why (i don't know why)
I don't know why that is

Mhm, mhm-mhm
Precious keeps me company
Ooh, keeps me from being alone

'Cause no-one comes in the morning
No-one comes in the evening time
I'd sit and wait for the phone to ring
I could be waiting my whole damn life

So sick of the same old faces
In this street, where nobody talks to me
And the funny side of the situation is
I don't care, I'll always be there
Oh, when you come
Down from the sky
And make yourself at home
In my house, baby

These days it's the money, the money
The money, honey, or your life
I said, don't you know you can't have both
I said, don't you know you can't have both
I said, don't you know you can't have both

Stop acting so dumb
The moment will come
I will find someone like you
Something extra (always happens baby to me), I'm so sorry, baby
I don't know why (something)
I don't know why that is (tell me why, that is)

You may want to strip again
You may want to let me in
You may want to sacrifice (sacrifice)
More than you think is fair or right

You may want to think again
You may want to watch your friends
You may want to change your mind
You may wish you could turn back time

You may want to strip again
You may want to let me in
You may want to sacrifice
More than you think is fair or right

You may want to think again
You may want to watch your friends
You may want to change your mind (oh)
You may wish you could turn back time (oh, oh yeah, hey)

You may want to strip again
You may want to let me in
You may want to sacrifice
More than you think is fair or right

You may want to think again
You may want to watch your friends
You may want to change your mind
You may wish you could turn back time
