What George Michael song's lyrics begin with, "That's all I wanted"?

What George Michael song’s lyrics begin with “That’s all I wanted”? The song is “Father Figure.” Released in 1987, it became one of George Michael’s signature solo recordings and appeared on his debut solo album, Faith.

“Father Figure” is built around a deliberately intimate, shifting relationship rather than a straightforward romantic love song. Michael wrote, produced, and arranged the track, using a sparse, atmospheric sound that gradually expands around his vocal. The lyric’s opening immediately introduces the song’s desire for something meaningful and emotionally intense.

Listeners sometimes confuse the title with the song’s subject matter and assume it is literally about a parent. In context, “father figure” is a metaphor for a protective or emotionally authoritative role within a complicated relationship. The single reached number one in the United States and United Kingdom, helping establish Faith as a major turning point in Michael’s career after Wham!.
