Летом 1984 года композиция Careless Whisper стала дебютным синглом Майкла как сольного исполнителя. Он написал эту нежную проникновенную балладу еще 17–летним наивным юношей, не знавшим реалий жизни, и мир влюбился в этого гениального меланхолика, узнав, как рано в нем проявились самые прекрасные человеческие качества вполне зрелого мужчины. За Careless Whisper в марте 1985 года из рук его кумира Элтона Джона Майкл получил статуэтку Ivor Novello и стал самым молодым человеком, который был когда–либо удостоен звания лучшего автора года, а Элтон назвал его еще и "величайшим автором своего поколения".

Time can never mend
The careless whispers
Of a good friend
To the heart and mind,
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

(Should've known better, yeah)

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies,
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

[Chorus:]
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should've known better
Than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance
That I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers
Of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

[Repeat chorus]

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things
We'd want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me
Please stay

[Repeat chorus]

(Now that you're gone)
Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone)
Was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone
