You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, you set me free

Of all the years I ever knew
Those finer ones I spent with you

I would give everything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my own
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

You taught me how to cry
I don't know why, just don't know why
You told those lies to me
You set me free, you set me free

Of all the years I ever knew
Those finer ones I spent with you

I would give everything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my own
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to hold you once again

If there's someone you know
That won't let you go
And taking it all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And you don't hear a word they say

I would give everything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my own
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to hold you once again

Just to hold you once again, once again.

Boy George

Boy George (born George Alan O'Dowd on 14 June 1961) is an English singer-songwriter, who was part of the English New Romanticism movement which emerged in the early 1980s. His music is often classified as blue-eyed soul, which is influenced by rhythm and blues and reggae. His 1990s and 2000s-era solo music has glam influences such as David Bowie and Iggy Pop. During the 1980s, Boy George was the lead singer of the Grammy and Brit Award winning pop band Culture Club. He also founded and was lead singer of Jesus Loves You during the period 1989–1992. Being involved in many activities (among them songwriting, DJing, writing books, designing clothes and photography), he has released fewer music recordings in the last decade. more »
