    There is this website that's quite popular, it's called google. It's fantastic for these kinds of things.

    Sorry, but this would always be my first port of call for something like this.

    Is it this?

    As
    George Michael - Ladies and Gentlemen


    As around the sun the Earth knows she's revolving
    And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
    Just as hate knows love's the cure
    You can rest your mind assure
    That I'll be loving you always

    As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
    But in passing will grow older every day
    Just as all is born is new
    Do you know what I say is true
    That I'll be loving you always

    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high
    Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
    Until the day is the day that are no more

    Did you know that true love asks for nothing
    Her acceptance is the way we pay
    Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
    To last through forever and another day

    As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
    Could make me the past
    but that I mustn't fear
    I know deep in my mind
    The love of me I've left behind
    Cause I'll be loving you always

    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high
    Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
    Until we dream of live and live becomes a dream
    Until the day is night and night becomes the day
    Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
    Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
    Until the day that is the day that are no more

    did you know that true love asks for nothing
    her acceptance is the way we pay
    did you know that life has given love a guarantee
    to last through forever and another day

    As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
    and the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
    for now I know deep in my mind
    the love of me I've left behind
    cause I'll be loving you always

    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high
    Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
    Until we dream of live and live becomes a dream

    Until the day is night and night becomes the day
    Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
    Until the day that 8X8X8 is 4
    Until the day that is the day that are no more

    Its called "I cant make you love me"
    Love that song! :)

    Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
    Turn down these voices inside my head
    Lay down with me, tell me no lies
    Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

    CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
    You can't make your heart feel something it won't
    Here in the dark, in these final hours
    I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
    But you won't, no you won't
    'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't


    I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
    The love you don't feel when you're holding me
    Morning will come and I'll do what's right
    Just give me till then to give up this fight
    And I will give up this fight

    CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
    You can't make your heart feel something it won't
    Here in the dark, in these final hours
    I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
    But you won't, no you won't
    'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

    I think he changed the title to "Dont let your son go down on me" when he came out of the closet!

    That toilet incident was a disaster. Before that he wrote some good songs like 'Praying for Time', 'Freedom' and 'Father Figure'. Since then there's been a lot of dirge, though he was smart enough to sample the excellent One's 'Absolutely Flawless' for his 'Flawless (Go to the City)'

    OP, here's how you do it. You put a few of the words of the song along with the artist's name into the square box with the blinking cursor on www.google.com and press the big square button on your keyboard called "enter", and like magic, you'll get a page with the name of the song.

    Fancy that.

    Even if Google doesn't give you back any results, then just go to a website with a george michael discography and by a process of elimination, rule out the songs you know that arent the one you're looking for.

    But if you mis-hear the lyrics it can be very hard.

    I think the song is "Tonight"

    Tonight,
    Do we have to fight again,
    Tonight?
    I just want to go to sleep
    Turn out the light
    But you want to carry grudges
    Oh, nine times out of ten,
    Oh, I see the storm approaching
    Long before the rain starts falling.

    Tonight,
    Does it have to be the old thing,
    Tonight?
    Oh, it's late, too late
    To chase the rainbow that you're after.
    I'd like to find a compromise
    Oh, and place it in your hands
    My eyes are blind, my ears can't hear,
    Oh, and I cannot find the time.

    Tonight,
    Just let the curtains close in silence,
    Tonight
    Why not approach with less defiance
    The man who'd love to see you smile,
    Who'd love to see you smile.
    Tonight

    Tonight,
    Just let the curtains close in silence,
    Tonight
    Why not approach with less defiance
    The man who'd love to see you smile,
    The man who'd love to see you smile,
    The man who'd love to see you smile,
    Tonight

    It's definitely, Tonight, originally by Elton John.

    "Tonight
    Do we have to fight again
    Tonight
    I just want to go to sleep
    Turn out the light
    But you want to carry grudges
    Nine times out of ten
    I see the storm approaching
    Long before the rain starts falling"
