Lyrics
Every day I hear a different story
People saying that you're no good for me
Saw your lover with another and she's makin' a fool of you, oh
If you love me baby, you'd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I'm a baby, and I don't understand
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do
I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't need your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you
Do, do, do
Whoa, oh, yeah
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can't escape until you love me
I just go from day to day knowing all about the other boys
You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool to give you all that I do
I bet you someday, baby, someone says the same to you
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do, oh
I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you
Do, do, do
Can't you see you're hurtin' me?
Whoa, oh, yeah
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
You hurt me baby, hurt me baby
Oh
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
You hurt me baby, hurt me baby
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
'Cause baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do, oh
I don't want your freedom
I don't need to play around
I don't want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't want your (I don't want your)
I don't want your (I don't want your)
I don't want your (I don't want your)
I don't want your part time love
Oh - Hudba
The trumpet you hear beginning at 5:46 was played by my late father. He never got much public recognition for his contribution to this song, but I always told him the song wouldn’t have been the same without him! We miss him everyday!
rip to ya father. part of of an iconic song and band x
It’s a shame that they don’t play that part on the radio..it’s a integral part of the end of the song. Just know that your father made good music and memories for many, many people RIP.
Love that part of the song
Wow that's fantastic. His music lives on.
@@blueknight5754 thank you so much. He never admitted it, but I do think it broke his heart when he realized they had cut him out of the radio version.
Who is listening to this master piece in 2024
I'm listening, this one always perked me up
Who's listening in 2024?? Ok just me then eh😆
Are you kidding?😂❤😂
Ok, others, START REPLYING❗😠😆🥳🤗❤️🙃😅
No! Not just you..
Me too)))) April of 2024! 🥰
And me too!
George created 2 different classic songs called Freedom. What a legend. RIP
One with Wham in 1984 or 1985, and one as a solo artist in 1990.
RIP George Michael. This is my most favorite song of his.
I agree: the outro was stunning.
mine too.
lolomgmetobavi You should check out Careless Whisper live in China. It is outstanding!❤️
lolomgmetobavi My teacher even cried that his fav band whams George Michael died
PLZ get me 100 subs PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ Sorry to hear that :( George Michael was a great singer.

Could not agree more.
The only pop band who was able to perform in China........That is history....RIP George......what a loss..........

So good! I've never heard this version with the horns at the end - BEAUTIFUL! I don't think people realize how huge it was that WHAM! got the green light to perform in China. What an incredible feather in their cap. It was a big deal then - and a big deal now. ❤
Wham's greatest hit. George was an incredibly talented songwriter.
yes it is!!!!!!!!
Yes. He was.
Its wasn't their greatest they had 3 no1 hits this wasn't one
Jesus is real
Really the best
子供の頃姉にLPレコード聞きなさいと言われてこの曲を聞いてから大好きになりました。
アンドリューさんまた日本に！！！京都にもきてね✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
This video is unexpectedly avant-garde for wham. I studied modern Chinese history, language and literature for years-and this strikes me as being historical. I'm seriously impressed and have gained new respect for Wham! This has long been my favorite song of theirs.
The beginning of the video surprised me as well; at first, I thought maybe a song wouldn't actually play but that it was more an interview-type deal.
Weird how a western band could have perforned at mid 80s but not now at 2021 lol
A
I saw a documentary somewhere that elaborated on this and it had to do with which band was more likely to respect the culture. It was a toss-up between Queen and Wham, and Wham won the bid. It was something to that effect.
The video was directed by Lindsay Anderson, the great British director of films like "If..." with Malcolm McDowell. Obviously he did it mostly for the money, but you see his calibre of talent.
What a great song! WHAM!
RIP George 🙏
I saw Wham! in Miami in 1985. I was 16 years old and it was one of the most fun concerts that I have ever attended. So much energy and happiness! There were three or four women for every guy and they were soooooooo beautiful! I was a little too young and shy to go for it with adult women, but it sure was fun just being a part of that amazing crowd! Thank you for those good times and wonderful memories George Michael!
Shoo John, where at in Miami? I saw him in high school as well, but I thought it was the Sportatorium (which was in Hollywood). Anyway, you're right. What an amazing, "happy" concert! With a LOT beautiful women I had NO clue what to do with!!!lol (FWIW, my older sister took me. So yeah, I was clueless...;))
Cornelius Praeda Hah! It's been so long that I'm having a hard time remembering! I do recall for sure that it was outside so maybe the Orange Bowl? If I'm recalling accurately the Hollywood Sportatorium was an inside venue (and an acoustical disaster), but maybe I'm misremembering. Either way, such good times! Also, tomorrow, send your sister a note saying "thanks" for taking baby bro to see such an awesome performer. Best regards sir!
Cornelius Praeda I figured it out. I saw Wham! at Miami Stadium, an old baseball stadium that was in Miami until it was torn down in the late 90s or early 00s. I knew I saw them outside and a google search showed that they played there in September of 1985. Also, not to be morbid, but thinking of the Hollywood Sportatorium and artists who passed away in 2016, I saw Prince in concert at that venue. Believe it or not, he was the opening act for Billy Idol. Prince had just started to blow up with "1999" and "Little Red Corvette" while Idol was in his full glory. Both Prince and then Idol were really great.
hey guys,,born in 57...in from canada.... in '80 i think...hollywood sportatorium...first row, elbows on the barrier Beachboys when they were still big. i remember the standing room pushing to the front,,we used hands and arms to brace against the front barrier....just didnt want to get crushed....was bit scared but was obviously packed house and always party when they played then........anyway thanks for your stories......always liked wham and michael solo...djed lots of radio and many parties...you could never go wrong with wham or michael... happy new years from toronto.
cornelius...envy...I would have loved to see a concert...
I miss George Michael. So talented, so handsome, and such a good human being.
Same 😔
i too i'm 10 but that don't mean i can't love his songs
@@minoelec No one said that if you are young you can’t listen to old songs, actually, if you like them, you have a great musical taste!
*doesn't
Same.
Oh the awesome memories this brings back . So glad I lived life in the 80s ❤ what a blast
Could not agree more!!!
Great time to be a teenager all throughout the 80s😊
RIP...
マイケルの歌声を聴けばいつだってあの時代が蘇る。素敵な歌をありがとう！ずっと忘れないよ～
やっぱこれが一番好き
この曲は理屈抜きに好きです。この曲をよく耳にしたのは中学卒業間際だったので、やはりあの頃を思い出します。
What a time it was to grow up in the 80s. I’m crying bc this music and era was so great. And George’s voice…❤
I agree!
80's rule 💗
Yo ugual me hiso llorar recordandob1985 en mexico
You're not alone. From a 42 year old male.

Rest In Paradise George.
Wish he was still here instead though :(
Tony Patty my heart is still broken over his loss. 💔😭😢
In the evening that George Michael passed away, a comet literally crossed the Los Angeles sky, I saw it, I was there. Never forgot! RIP George, a great artist. 🕊️🙏🏻

I was one of the first westerners working in China in the 80s and this video reminded me of those days. China has come so far in 40 years. But there are still few pop musicians in the west who can rival George!
Every person deserves freedom. Personal, Sexual, Religious and more
We are a free people and George knew this from the beginning.
Can't believe the news today. This song will always be one of my favourites.
I adore this song too
This was the song I most remember - it was from the first album cassette I ever bought (I was nine years old in 1984).
I've watched this video thousands of times, just can't believe his death..
Yup, I was 12 yrs old when this came out. Such a happy song.
It's still difficult for me to believe that GM is gone... among all that has happened this year is the first time I feel like crying, it is the saddest thing for me 😓 ... people with a soul as big as Him they should not die 😞😞
We will always love you GM!!!!! 💗💕
Tragic. What a voice he had and seemed like a great person.
Zero auto tune was used in this man’s entire career. Just don’t make them like they used to
我这几天都在听“威猛”的歌，没想到2021年最后一天看到这条在中国演出的视频，勾起我满满的回忆，我是70年的，威猛是我的第一盒西方乐队磁带，真是美好的音乐！George，祝你世界那边一切都好！
I don't think people know how ground breaking this video was. First the innovation of the mini-documentary at the beginning and then the actual visit of a Western pop band to China. China in the 80's was still a closed communist society and nowhere near as open as it is today. It would be like a band visiting North Korea today.
HELLH0WND I do I do
Yes how China has changed!
Wait! You... you said that Communism was bad? HOW DARE YOU!!!
China a globalists tool (Rockefeller, etc.) in Mao times, in the 80s, today plandemic 2020 year
yes i remember this visit was historic! then followed by like Billy Joel and such
Wham and George Michael is undoubtedly one of the greatest British music bands and person Great Britain has ever produced. Until I have not seen the video of Freedom, I never thought that it would be like this, so cross-cultural loving message. Hats off to the boys for bringing two worlds closer.
He's British? I thought he was American??
***** He a born brit
English mother, Greek-Cypriot father
How can you listen to George talk and not know he is british his accent is thick LOL specially when he was younger
that's subjective! Duran Duran top band of the 80's
59歳です。この北京公演は中国で初めて開催された洋楽のライブだと当時聞きました。聴衆のリズムに上手く乗り切れない感じ、でも感情が沸き上がって体で表現せずにはいられない様子を他のどの曲でもない「freedom」のPVとして世に出す、当時見ていて目頭が熱くなりました。
The trumpet at the end really adds gravitas to the song
RIP George... Thank you for all the wonderful memories
hearing stories about Wham! from my mom makes me so happy. How she had their posters, singing their songs in her school functions. If one thing I could turn back in time, was to take her to George Michael or Wham concert....
There songs are FOREVER. Timeless and uplifting. We miss you George!!
Yeah timeless trash
This video is so full of beauty and innocence...
this is my favourite wham song. Can't believe George Michael has passed away. 😞
Freddie Mercury and George Michael......... The gratest guys of the world!!!!!!!!
セブンイレブンで流れてて調べたら出てきて嬉しかった😊
Classic WHAM. I love a lot of their songs, but I think this is the absolute best one.
Yes.
Absolutely xx
Deffinetly! 👏👍💯😄
Agree.
It was actually George Michael’s favourite Wham song too and my personal favourite
I like how the majority of the audience don't understand the language but enjoy the music.
+GenXtasy ...Music is a universal language of it s own
So nice to see young people having fun - now, if only the older generation.....
Brought tears in my eyes. George and his mates look so happy in a foreign land, in a completely different culture. He was great, so were his band mates. Love you all.
I love the reaction from the audience. A lifetime of oppression and when they get some freedom in their ears they go mad🤣. Beautiful
@@chrisolagrim3597 Me too, Especially knowing that Communist China only had access to western music starting around 1978, so the fact that by the mid 1980’s the PRC got their first taste of New Wave British Pop back then and the band to do it was Wham! is like a huge cultural event I feel got forgotten (I know the western groups that played in the USSR were as important later, but I feel this is as big).
It’s also important to remember, this was pre 1989 Tiananmen Square, it’s amazing to see this tbh.
🕊&❤️ in 2022
@@MrKenichi22 and now it’s oppressive again
@@humanchannel7825 To be fair, China’s goal was to technologically and economically equal the west, not to become a free Democracy.
Cool Breeze it wasn't as fun as it looked a lot of things happened there that were scary kids got beat for dancing George didn't find out till after the concert
RIP George 😢💔 Best voice ever.
Rest in peace George Michael
As sad as it is, I believe George is finally free. He has struggled with personal demons for years and now he has been liberated. See you in heaven George.
C West It makes me so sad that such a beautiful soul was so tormented and sad! He deserved to be a happy person on this earth! It gives me peace that he now is free! I am sad that one one of the people I really wanted to see Live won’t ever happen. I’m glad I have these videos to watch!
Happy 60th birthday George Michael!!!
He would still be celebrating if he was still alive
Heard this song a few days ago here in 2021. Hadn't heard it since I was a kid of 8 years old back in the 80s. I had to pull my car over and just sit and listen to it. I was put into a time machine where the world was happy. Some things sucked, some people were treated poorly, some people lived in poverty, but there was still a vibe and spirit of joy back then. Fast forward to me being 45 years old in 2021 and I sit and wonder "How could anyone have this much joyful energy that almost 40 years later they can STILL make me smile and make me tap my feet?"
Make a commitment TODAY to be THAT person people remember 40 years ago, and when they remember you, they smile and feel the joy. The stress and anxiety of today will be NOTHING in 40 years.
I certainly hope you're right. Im also 45,young enough to remember those times,though not necessarily young anymore! Caught in the middle
@@trtb056 My children! I'm 76 and a George fan !!!!
I'm the same age, and you pretty much summed it up. That's exactly how I feel when I hear great songs like this one from the 80s. Miss that era...there was none like it.
Omg, you' re right !
So eloquently put, bravo sir.
5:47 To see everyone dancing and happy that's how the world should be 24/7.
This music is so much better than anything we have today
news flash! people having been saying this crap for centuries and it's never actually been true
true
Agree.
Well said
Remember when pop in general used to be good, nowadays it’s just mass produced hot garbage
Brilliant and uplifting. 💯❤

Die Hard Fan, I am well traveled. Care to elaborate?
i dont see intergration as a positive
I was ten when this came out and too be frank was never a fan but as the years have passed, I find myself frequently listening to 80s songs that literally almost have my eyes welling up remembering long lost family members and various memories!

Congrats on number one!!!

Listening to this song for the first time in many years. It's strange how as we get older, we understand some song lyrics more. I loved this song when i was a teenager and now I love it more. This song is still current today. Sitting here crying tears of happiness and 80s nostalgia.
I find it amazing that George wrote these lyrics when he was so young. Beyond his years. I have seen interviews with him later in his life:he was so intelligent.
Super Typist I agree!!

What a soulful artist. George Michael, you are beautiful.
cant stop my tears, thanks for the songs..
Give me back the 80s... Great decade for music. Todays music is shit!
Same. Feel so emotional watching this.
😢😪😪 I feel the same way 💗 What a time to be young and carefree, listening to this song on the radio on the way to the beach with your friends, or just having fun 💜
Indeed. Its heavy on my heart, makes me cry, i remember where i was when it came out & what was going on then.
That’s only because you’ve forgotten all the shite music from the 40 years ago. Time is a filter.
90s had also been a great decade for music
Still listening in 2023 ❤ The song, video, vibe.. brings back nostalgia of a time lost 😔
I cannot emphasize enough how mature, classy and non-judgemental George Michael's introductory commentary here was, especially given the time and given his age. This really elevates my appreciation of him not only as an artist but also on a personal level. He understood that he was not sent there to preach, lecture or moralize and that this was a completely new experience, a journey into the unknown for both sides which should simply be experienced and left to its own device rather than overanalyzing it or forcing it into the political context of the day. Some other artists may not have been able to stay so grounded, non-judgemental and open-minded. So, kudos to him for this, he really did manage to serve as a cultural ambassador here in the best sense of the term!
Long live the 80's! I just love this song....ALWAYS did! Miss you George! You will be remembered forever!
Takes me back to my teens..Bring back the eighties please!
+1000
In 1985, this video was a glimpse into China that most westerners did not have at this time. It is truly historic.
A time long gone…
China has transformed to a whole new world, Wham! is no more…
ThankU Andrew Ridgeley for your talent & grace
George Michael - you will forever be missed

George Michael
This actually has such a fantastic Motown groove to it
this could easily have been a supremes song in 1966
Joseph Caravella Jr. I was thinking the same thing myself! Good comment!
No it’s more cheesy pop!
George's elder sister Melanie, who had been working as a hairdresser, appears in this MV(4:20) She found dead on Christmas Day 2019. RIP.🕯
Looks just like him!
so sad
wow on Christmas 2019 I felt something weird and I guess it was George's sister
George's elder Sisters Melanie and the oldest Yioda are both in this video they went with him as did his parents And Andrew's Mum and Dad to China
