Somebody somebody somebody
has a hold on me
somebody somebody somebody
has a hold on me

don´t tell me, don´t tell me, don´t tell me
what I don´t wanna hear
don´t lie to me, lie to me, lie to me
before you disappear

I probably know now that you don´t know what you want
I probably die now because I´m bearing the brunt

do you mean yes when you say no
do you mean yes when you say no
where the hell has my dignity gone
am I losing someone, am I really losing someone
do you mean yes when you say no

I´m waving, I´m waving, I´m waving
this poor white flag
I´m waiting , I´m waiting, I´m waiting
for you to not come back

I probably know now that you don´t know what you want
I probably die now because I´m bearing the brunt

do you mean yes when you say no
do you mean yes when you say no
where the hell has my dignity gone
am I losing someone, am I really losing someone
do you mean yes when you say no

somebody somebody somebody
has a hold on me
somebody somebody somebody
has a hold on me

don´t judge me, don´t judge me, don´t judge me
inscrutable you
just tell me, just tell me, just tell me
do you feel it too

You´re taking the easy way out as always
I bet you know they burn their fingers straight on you
you´re a cheater and a fool
your love can be so cruel
I know what it means
I know what it means

your eyes are deep like the ocean
It´s no wonder that she couldn´t help herself
she should be wiser like I´ve been
she shouldn´t be as stupid as I´ve been
I know what it means
I know what it means

come on boy be brave and tell her you´re sorry
she´s quite right to say “you got nothing on me“
don´t be cruel
don´t act like a fool
stand your ground
and tell her you´re sorry

you don´t wanna commit yourself to nothing
you´ve got options and you´re sitting on the fence
I pity you, oh pretty boy
life is rugged, oh pretty boy
you know what I mean
you know what I mean

come on boy be brave and tell her you´re sorry
she´s quite right to say “you got nothing on me“
don´t be cruel
don´t act like a fool
stand your ground
and tell her you´re sorry

I couldn´t resist you
and I was punished hard my dear
I wish she could see me
as I disappear
we´re so much stronger than we ever thought

Say what you want
I´d believe it anyway
tell me fairy tales
pull the princess out of me

every lie is like sweet torture
every moment becomes my truth
it doesn´t matter what tomorrow brings
as I´m here with you

you get me one by one tonight
two tramps on a trip
say three words that ain´t right
what would they do
if one becomes a witness of two souls on their flight
you get me one by one tonight

sweet love, sweet hurt
how could I decide what I need more
but I miss you like crazy
when you walk out the door

I don´t care what you are thinking
I don´t care where you go now
as long as you are with me, I pretend,
I´m what you want somehow

you get me one by one tonight
two tramps on a trip
say three words that ain´t right
what would they do
if one becomes a witness of two souls on their flight
you get me one by one tonight

you get me one by one tonight
two tramps on a trip
say three words that ain´t right
what would they do
if one becomes a witness of two souls on their flight
you get me one by one tonight

We´ve come way too far
I know who you are
you come and charge my battery

I´m here while you´re there
say life is unfair
and take the very best of me

I´m upset when you don´t answer
I´m a lover when you´re around
I´m a sucker when you´re indifferent
I´m worried when you´re down
I´m nervous when you´re not jealous
I´m a monster when you´re home
I´m a queen when you say I´m pretty
when I´m with you I´m not alone
when I´m with you I´m not alone
when I´m with you I´m not alone

take care, take my mind
you´re one of a kind
go on and charge my battery

I´m upset when you don´t answer
I´m a lover when you´re around
I´m a sucker when you´re indifferent
I´m worried when you´re down
I´m nervous when you´re not jealous
I´m a monster when you´re home
I´m a queen when you say I´m pretty
when I´m with you I´m not alone
when I´m with you I´m not alone
when I´m with you I´m not alone

something is burning me
something is burning so deep inside of me
something is burning me
something is burning so deep inside of me
when I´m with you I´m not alone

Unscrew my legs
put them on your window sill
plant some flowers for your wife
remove my back
put some glasses on it
drink a toast to life

the teeth of my gearwheels mesh together
as long as you need me
or let me get dusty in the cupboard
this is how it should be

I´m shining, I´m burning
glitter on my skin
I´m sparkling, I´m glowing
the magic lies within
I´m blazing, I´m gleaming
the air is so clean
I´m a warm machine
I´m a warm machine

press reset
reprogram a lover´s mode
adjust my brightness and my speed
the more you change me
the more you give
what a warm machine needs

I´m shining, I´m burning
glitter on my skin
I´m sparkling, I´m glowing
the magic lies within
I´m blazing, I´m gleaming
the air is so clean
I´m a warm machine
I´m a warm machine

unscrew my legs
put them on your window sill
plant some flowers for your wife

If you´re down and in a mess
send me an SOS
just one call and I´ll be there for you

we will never be apart
I fell for you right from the start
just one word and I´ll be here for you

anytime you need a friend
I´ll be right here to hold your hand
and for tonight we´ll take it down
to what life´s all about
I sing it loud

I will make it through
I´ll be holding on to you
every word is true
baby see what love can do

life can be either kind or cruel
forgive yourself, don´t be a fool
dry your tears ‘cause I´ll stand by your side

anytime you need a friend
I´ll be right here to hold your hand
these times will pass, this pain will heal
I wanna make you see
we´re meant to be

I will make it through
I´ll be holding on to you
every word is true
baby see what love can do

anytime you need a friend
I´ll be right here to hold your hand
these times will pass, this pain will heal
I wanna make you see
we´re meant to be

Stumbling in, stumbling, resolution´s gone
I´m not gonna ask you where you belong
don´t let this moment pass, don´t let this moment pass
who knows what we´d miss
the night is silent, seal it with a kiss

now we´re standing there
memories fulfill the air
I have no choice but to say

don´t forget that
I´m floating like a balloon through the sky
do you think of me,
do you think of me when I´m passing by
I´m floating like a balloon through the sky
do you think of me,
do you think of me when I´m passing by

I take your hand, I take your hand, it fits well in mine
we don´t say it but think of it all the time
run down the streets with me,
run down the streets with me
we´re young and we´re free
switch off your phone and spend the night with me

waking up when nighttime falls
spinning around like disco balls
just one last thing I´m to say

don´t forget that
I´m floating like a balloon through the sky
do you think of me,
do you think of me when I´m passing by
I´m floating like a balloon through the sky
do you think of me,
do you think of me when I´m passing by

I´m floating like a balloon through the sky
do you think of me,
do you think of me when I´m passing by

My day´s been hard, I´m back home
it´s so good to know that you´ve been waiting for me
don´t say a word, let it be
only give me some time now and sit down with me

you know that it needs just a minute
when you´re closing your arms I can feel it
I am breathing you in, I am feeling your skin
this is right where I wanted to be

when I´m with you
there´s no compromise
when I´m with you
it´s like paradise
when I´m with you
I feel ever so good to be true

now that I´m with you again
all the noise, all the trouble, my problems and pain
vanish just like a day dream
and you wake me up softly to rise up again

and I know that it needs just a minute
when you´re closing your arms I can feel it
I am breathing you in, I am feeling your skin
this is right where I wanted to be
when I´m with you
there´s no compromise
when I´m with you
it´s like paradise
when I´m with you
I feel ever so good to be true

and I know that it needs just a minute
when you´re closing your arms I can feel it
I am breathing you in, I am feeling your skin
this is right where I wanted to be

when I´m with you
there´s no compromise
when I´m with you
it´s like paradise
when I´m with you
I feel ever so good to be true

when I´m with you
there´s no time at all
when I´m with you
there´s no rise and fall
when I´m with you
I feel ever so good to be true

that´s what I do
I feel better than ever with you

Father father won´t you come around
the rain is saturating and dragging us down
near by the valley they told us to be lenient, be the lenient
we closed our eyes and settled down

you are the street that I´ve walked since I can remember
I guess I should take this fork by now

come and take a step
take the next step to yourself
and say oh
and say oh
come and take a step
take the next step to yourself
and say oh
and say oh

mother mother won´t you come around
you´re well aware I haven´t asked for what I´ve found
down by the river they told us to be gracious, be the gracious
I close my eyes, I´m falling down

you are the street that I´ve walked since I can remember
and I guess I should take this fork by now
come and take a step
take the next step to yourself
and say oh
and say oh
come and take a step
take the next step to yourself
and say oh
and say oh

you wanna find yourself
and nobody else
you have to move on to come undone
you won´t stay the same
you won´t stay the same

come and take a step
take the next step to yourself
and say oh
and say oh
come and take a step
take the next step to yourself
and say oh
and say oh

A single moment that remains
I wish I could turn back time
do you remember me the way
that I remember you

I couldn´t find a way
to save another day
I was there for you, I´ve done anything for you
I don´t know what is wrong and I don´t know what is right
I know still I will follow you

it´s like poison running through my veins
being a shadow of my former self
and you just don´t know what to do
put me in a backwater someplace else
I wonder why

I count the days, I count the nights
just to make sure that my life goes on
do you feel good, do you feel right
then I´ll find sleep tonight

please find me a way
to save another day
I was there for you, I´ve done anything for you
I don´t know what is wrong and I don´t know what is right
I know still I will follow you

it´s like poison running through my veins
being a shadow of my former self
and you just don´t know what to do
put me in a backwater someplace else
I wonder why

The show is over, the neon signs are out
I´m coming down
I thought I saw you tonight in the crowd
but I know you´re not even in town

I take off my makeup
I hardly recognize myself
is this what is left of me
you said that you won´t hurt me
I didn´t get it right
but now I see

your love is quiet
your love is quiet
and I keep holding on
I´m holding on

the applause is long gone, feels like a thousand lives ago
I´m still here, passing time
I can´t focus, can´t get you off my mind
I stay and push rewind

spotlight´s on me now and
see me diamond shine
what do you want me to be?
the music´s playing louder
so you don´t hear me cry
guaranteed

your love is quiet
your love is quiet
and I keep holding on
I´m holding on
