George Michael - A Different Corner Lyrics






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

Whoa, I swear

George Michael A Different Corner Comments
  1. P.... J....

    Is it even possible not to get emotional listening to this.

    RIP George GBNF 💚

  2. t.... ....

    different corner different class rip George x

  3. M.... ....

    I was born 1966, his lyrics/songs always hit me hardest about 2 years after they were released, which is precisely matching our age-difference and the time he wrote them. For that he grew on me like a predictor of love&life, in a way. It was scary, at times. Drove me to tears, this song, back in 1988. Was right there with him at the time. Have a daughter and girlfriend now, very lucky with them both but I truly miss George. Way too young to leave us.

  4. R.... A....

    For Her!

  5. T.... W....

    RIP George. We loved and miss you like crazy

  6. M.... B....

    The range of this man's voice was amazing...Having written this when he was just 19 tells us what an incredible talent he was.

    A.... F....

    23 years old in 1986. He was born in 1963!

    A.... F....

    @Hakim2307 He started recording this in 1984, he was just 21 back then. I bet he wrote the song earlier but it's still an impressive song for a man at that age.

  16. J.... B....

    It's still a great song, never gets old , as you get older songs like this see all the more poignant. RIP George

  17. R.... R....

    Wow watery eyes . George was a great song writer .

  19. D.... M....

    I'm a lifelong hiphophead and heavy metal I despise so much pop music of the 80s and let's be honest there was a lot of trash
    But George Michael has made some of the most incredible emotional songs ever he's an all-time great in my book

    D.... M....

    YOU HAVE THE SAME 2 LOVES AS ME - HIPHOP / RAP & METAL , BUT I GREW UP IN THE 80 ' S & I LOVED IT , I ESPECIALLY LOVED BANDS LIKE GUNS & ROSES , BUT I ALSO LOVED A WHOLE HOST OF OTHERS ... & YES I WILL ADMIT I WAS IN LOVE WITH BROTHER BEYONDS NATHAN MOORE & WENT AS FAR AS GOING TO A CONCERT WHERE I PROCEEDED TO CLIMB THE STAGE & RUN AT HIM 😳🥳🤐 HOWEVER THERE WAS A LOT OF CHEESINESS TOO , BUT I WAS YOUNG & MY FIRST BAND I LOVED AS A YOUNG KID WAS WHAM ... I HAVE MY VINYL STILL , BUT GONE ARE THE WALL 2 WALL ( & CEILING ) POSTERS & MY WHAM CUSHIONS & TSHIRTS NOW ... GEORGE HAS ( EDIT ; HAD ... ??? ) A BEAUTIFUL EMOTIVE VOICE THAT PULLS HARD ON THE HEARTSTRINGS

  40. C.... ....

    This hit #7 on the charts. I was 12. How on earth have I never heard this before? OMG it's gorgeous.

  41. C.... J....

    I never knew there was a video for this song. Still one of my favorites.

  42. P.... ....

    I have always thought that George's voice was Peter Cetera's more perfect silkiness...It's exquisite

    P.... ....

    That's 'A hard habit to break'

    P.... ....

    @manos3790 "It's hard to say I am sorry'

    P.... ....

    He did it all for the 'Glory of love'

    P.... ....

    @manos3790 He also managed to "Stay the night'

  43. L.... C....

    Reposer en paix toi et ta sœur qui tu voit na pas supporter ta disparition tu voit George jai moi aussi perdu ma petite sœur chérie au moins d'août je dois tenir pour mes parents il souffre beaucoup de leur fille alors je vis tou les jours avec ca merci beaucoup pour tai chansons magnifique qui mon fait rêver quand javai 20 ans merci George m......

  44. c.... n....

    Defo one of his best emotive songs. Cowboys and Angels is Night in front of the fire on a shaggy mat music-perfection. Mothers Pride is also brilliant. Just 3 examples of how he could write brilliantly in so many different styles and on so many different subjects. You have been loved!

  45. A.... E....

    Tears. .love keep us from pain,its everything. Brilliant man.big voice" thanx, RIP George Michael. 🌟

  46. A.... I....

    Was he a Homosexual?

  47. P.... W....

    What 22 year old these days could sing like that, write music like that.. Noone!! How times have changed..

  48. R.... G....

    Amazing

  49. R.... G....

    I’ve had this stuck in my head all day. I love you, George. Miss you.

  50. d.... l....

    God what a Voice!

  51. C.... F....

    I listened to Wham and George, esp the Faith album a lot as a 10something year old growing up in not so sunny England. I have a sister 9 years older who was obsessed with him. Never really appreciated him or understood how amazing a singer he was untill I myself became an adult. I thank her for exposing me to his songs at a tender age. I know most the words to his songs just because my sister would play them every evening, literally!! So glad I knew him whilst he was alive, feeling blessed as I write this.

  52. S.... G....

    2020 still one of my favourite songs!! I can feel every word.. 💔

    S.... G....

    Such a powerful song xx

  53. B.... C....

    A masterpiece.... "nuff said!

  54. k.... r....

    The only song that truly puts me into tears

  55. Z.... ....

    2020 🖤 We miss You George Michael 🖤

  56. D.... B....

    💗💗💗

  57. R.... ....

    2020 and he is still going strong

  58. D.... S....

    The epitome of vulnerability.

  59. A.... T....

    This song made me absolutely fall in love with this man. I was in the fifth grade, the looks were an added bonus, but still to this day I will always love this man. Too many were focused on his sexuality and not his gift. Thanks for the memories. RIP❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  60. T.... w....

    A great voice and an exceptional soul

  61. A.... K....

    For you. You know who you are. I miss you so much. 💔

  62. T.... T....

    Jan.4 still listening 2020

  63. B.... V....

    George's incomparable talent oozes right out of him with this song as he makes it seem so effortless. I am literally totally fixated on his every word and deep heartfelt angelic voice when I hear this song.

  64. R.... M....

    So mellow...the background music is awesome no intoxicating.

  65. M.... A....

    George best song🎤🎶🏆💔💞

  66. E.... I....

    SUPERB,....⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ G.M ❣

  67. R.... F....

  68. H.... ....

  69. P.... W....

    If I could I would I swear

  70. T.... R....

    Hair extensions on a mullet!
    Even the phone is gay.
    The sequel to Careless Whisper.

    T.... R....

    So? You gotta problem with Gays?

    T.... R....

    @X-MISMA-X nope - just with you & yo mama. I bet anything you're obese w/self esteem issues! You're also an ignorant fascist - But probably call yourself a socialist. Silly ******.

  71. C.... G....

    Today my husband and I have 15yrs of marriage. When I look back and I think I would do all over again with him. He is the only man that can bring me to my knees he knows my every move and thought now I sit here at Cheddars and wonder what if life took us in a different hall or different class in highschool. I do believe fate had us in the right place at the right time. I dedicate this song to my fluffy. I love you babe thank you for giving 4 beautiful annoying kids. ♥️♥️♥️♥️😊😊😘😘😘😘♥️♥️

    Wow. I have been a fan of George Michael from the beginning of his career & I have never heard this particular song. I was listening to Sirius XM in the car, 80's on 8 today & this song came on. I love it. What a treat, the feeling of hearing a new George Michael song again. Takes me back to my twenties :-) Thanks George, R.I.P

  83. X.... X....

    Δεν είναι μόνο οι στίχοι ή η μουσική του τραγουδιού αυτού. Η ερμηνεία του βγάζει τόσο συναίσθημα που μόνο βιωματικό τραγούδι πρέπει να είναι αυτό. Και είναι πραγματικά σπουδαίο κομμάτι, όπως άλλωστε όλα τα βιωματικά τραγουδια. Ο George Michael θα είναι πάντα διαχρονικός... Να σαι καλά όπου και να σαι!
    It s not only the lyrics or the music of this song. It s the emotion that he gives you to this clip. This song can be nothing more than experiential... And it s really awesome like any experiential song.... No matter what, George Michael will always be intertemporal... Hope you are good wherever you are George...

  84. A.... D....

    La tua voce eterna, i miei ricordi...quante emozioni!!!❤

  85. D.... P....

    This is one of the most excruciating beautiful songs of all time. Everytime I hear that opening beat I get chills...still. It Reminds me of a heart beat. Miss you George ❤️

  86. O.... H....

    Forever in my heart GEORGE

  87. B.... F....

    "...turn in a different corner and we would never meet..."

  88. Z.... ....

    Beautiful.......

  89. a.... b....

    Is this the best video it can give us? Delete this and replace it with a 1080p quality !

    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?

    Oh, 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

  91. R.... D....
