Finish The Lyric: "I'm showing you the door, 'cause I"?

The lyric finishes, “’Cause I gotta have faith.” It comes from “Faith,” George Michael’s 1987 hit single, in which the singer rejects a troubled relationship and decides he must trust himself and move on.

The line follows the pre-chorus: “Well, it takes a strong man, baby / But I’m showing you the door.” The repeated phrase “I gotta have faith” then becomes the song’s main hook. The wordplay links the lyric to the song’s title while giving the chorus its instantly recognizable rhythm.

“Faith” was written and produced by George Michael after his Wham! years. It became the title track of his first solo album, released in 1987, and topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The song is also associated with its distinctive music video, featuring Michael in sunglasses and a leather jacket playing guitar near a jukebox.
