I've Been Trippin on this Song Lately.....

The song is called "Heaven Help Me" by Deon Estus with George Michael (George sings backup vocals on this song). What I find interesting (and I never knew this until I did some research on the internet) is that Deon used to be the guitarist (and probably a backing vocalist) for Wham.

Deon's vocal style is a lot like George's, and I have a sneaking suspicion that George either wrote or co-wrote this song. This song came out in the late 80's sometime, and I love it, I can't stop listening (and singing along) to it. I love the horns, and the guitars in the song that give it a bit of a Latin feel.


Heaven Help Me Lyrics
Artist: Deon Estus With George Michael


If you want it you can have it
That's what you said
But I don't want the things that you leave behind
Take the pictures, take the windows and the walls
But baby won't you leave me my peace of mind
Oh such a waste of time
Oh such a waste
I still want you baby

Heaven help me heaven help me
Talk to strangers talk to strangers
Heaven help me
Over you
Help me over you
I can't seem to take these changes
Everything reminds my heart of you

Thought the first time was the last time
We'd be here forever
Now I find I'm having to search again
I'll happen
It's gotta happen
Come together
I just wish somebody would tell me when

Oh such a waste of time
Oh such a waste
I still want you baby

Heaven help Heaven help
Heaven, heaven heaven help me
Heaven help Heaven help
Heaven, heaven heaven help me

You're someone else's lady
So sad without you darlin'
The gods of love can't help me now
Heaven help Heaven help
Heaven, heaven heaven help me

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Love it. Wish it was George's. Wouldn't it have been nice on Listen Without Prejudice?

I bought hsi album "spell". Not very good album. "me or the rumours" (the george Michael mix) is cool though, as is "blue envelope".

Yeah "heaven help me" is brilliant. I love the horns too.

The bass guitar is cool too, makes the song very funky!
