The way you act turns me on, you’re so not like anyone, so not like anyone else
And what I just said, sounds oh so worn-out, not much intelligent
what more should I say, your charm’s outshing my self-expression skills
your skin as soft as velvet, your scent is beguilingly seductive
And I can’t help it you’re so kind to me, can’t wait another minute, I
I have been waiting for so long, I guess now, can’t wait another minute, you
You keep sending sparks of joy down my spine, can’t wait another minute, I
Want to feel you by my side, and that’s why, can’t wait another minute
your lips they do release, a summer rain shower, covers my body in comfort
I do believe in the fastness of hours, which, in turn, warm up your week
And yes, once in a while, you’re granted admission to what they call body and soul
It’s so much more than amazing, my interpretation, of what feels like to be whole
And I can’t help it you’re so kind to me, can’t wait another minute, I
I have been waiting for so long, I guess now, can’t wait another minute, you
You keep sending sparks of joy down my spine, can’t wait another minute, I
Want to feel you by my side, and that’s why, can’t wait another minute
You make me feel kind of pretty, now one may think I am, self-centered, far off my head
You’re fanning sparks into flames babe, at long last I witness, I feel my passion again
You’re so straightforward but laid back, attentive and courteous, attentive, courteous, polite
Of course, you carry your package from A to B, and back to C day and night
And I can’t help it you’re so kind to me, can’t wait another minute, I
I have been waiting for so long, I guess now, can’t wait another minute, you
You keep sending sparks of joy down my spine, can’t wait another minute, I
Want to feel you by my side, and that’s why, can’t wait another minute

Is it absurd? What‘s this? What’s that?
Now what’s that all about?
I’m in a picture that has fallen off the wall
Is this unreal, is this obscene
Let’s set this record straight
I’m in a frame that’s lying broken on the floor
You’ re not that far, over the top,
but you’re so way far out
Can’t stand to stand right in the shadow of yourself
You are not near, neither to me,
nor are you near to you
Can’t stand to stand right in the shadow of your man
Yes ‘n’ how and why and how do I do now?
Yes ‘n’ how and why and how do I do now?
I’m not a man that is in need
Of self-affirmation
Even though you’ve been telling me just that
My motivation, in the first place,
comes from deep within
My inner world’s based on experience and love
You’ve been projecting your self-doubts
right onto me
Who you are, who you want to be
is outside my part
I wish you well, i wish you luck, I wish you everything
That’s needed on your way to find out who you are.
Yes ‘n’ how and why and how do I do now?
Yes ‘n’ how and why and how do I do now?
But tears, they don’t dry, in rainy season
Fruits turn into wine, in rainy season

Always

For how long do you want to sneak a peak through your neighbor’s window glass?
For always, always
Do you do that so, so you know, it’s only you having a blast?
Not always, not always
For how long do you want your love to stay, though you know that it might end?
Always, always
Can you make it through your life without any helping hand?
Not always, not always
So why do you hesitate, take a step before’s too late
Don’t just step aside, be one step ahead, keep up with your pride
Don’t keep movin’ back
Cause you will not be right in this place always
You will not be right in this place always
For how long do you want to spend your time in virtual galaxies?
Always, always
Don’t you think it pays, every once in a while, to feel the ground underneath your feet?
Not always, not always
Do you really want to give up on your hard-won autonomy?
Not always, not always
Do you put at stake your own fate, leave it up to someone else’s hands?
Not always, not always
So why do you hesitate, take a step before’s too late
Don’t just step aside, be one step ahead, keep up with your pride
Don’t keep movin’ back
Cause you will not be right in this place always
Yeah, you will not be right in this place always

When It's All Gone

When you’re in love, everything
Feels as light as the softest touch
Of a feather swingin‘
To the melodies of the wind blowin‘
Into our faces sun-bathed
Lips and cheeks formin‘ gleamin‘ smiles
And wherever we went
We were so much ahead of our time
What is love when it’s all gone?
Not a penny, nor a dime
we missed the mark that we once set
You missed to become mine
We got on the wrong track
We got swallowed by masterplans
Of gettin‘ better each day
But betterment, it got out of our hands
We had it all worked out
And a great deal of potential
We could have got legendary
At least as long as legends linger on
What is love when it’s all gone?
Not a penny, nor a dime
we missed the mark that we once set
You missed to become mine
