DIETER BOHLEN - Welcome To The Heartbreak Hotel (1986 Ariola Eurodisc CD 258 064)

01. HEARTBREAK HOTEL

Love will make a high-class fool
Oh, it takes your heart and breaks the rules.
Oh, touch your heart - oh, touch your soul.
Years may come and years may go
Oh, heart is high - heart is low.
It’s strange, and sometimes it makes you blue
’cause breaking up is hard to do.

Refrain:
We are living - we are living in a heartbreak hotel.
I’m feeling there’s no love you can say.
I’m shooting (from my heart) shadows of the dark.
We’re living and we’re lost without love.
We’re living in a heartbreak hotel.
Anyone (who has a heart) (oh) can tell:
the eyes of a child are weak and are wild.
We are living in a heartbreak hotel.

Love will keep you always young
Oh, you have sorrows - you have fun.
Oh, touch your heart - oh, touch your soul.
More you live - the more you love
Oh, see the stars, the sky above.
It’s strange, and sometimes it makes you blue
’cause breaking up is hard to do.

REFRAIN

We are living - we are living - we are living in a heartbreak hotel.
I’m feeling there’s no love you can say.
I’m shooting (from my heart) shadows of the dark.
We’re living and we’re lost without love.
We’re living in a heartbreak hotel.
We are living - we are living - we are living in a heartbreak hotel.

02. PICTURE BLUE EYES

Love hurts - I am hypnotized.
Baby, love hurts - strange are the ways of lies.
I’m more than a woman - I pretend.
Trust me (baby) to the end.
Love is what it means to be so young.

Refrain:
Picture blue eyes, I need your sweet love devotion.
Picture blue eyes - the countdown for love.
Picture blue eyes, need your sweet emotions,
your diamond smile. Reach for the stars.
Oh, tonight, oh, tonight break the rules of the light.
And I’m lost in your love, picture blue eyes.
Oh, tonight, oh, tonight our love’s burning bright.
But it’s nothing at all, picture blue eyes.

Love hurts - babe, you need a friend.
Baby, for hearts, there must be a mend.
Oh, you’re waiting forever and ever.
I know it’s now or never.
Try me ’cause I know you’ll make it, babe.

REFRAIN

Picture blue eyes, I need your sweet love devotion.
Picture blue eyes - the countdown for love.
Picture blue eyes, need your sweet emotions,
your diamond smile. Reach for the stars.

Picture blue eyes
Your diamond smile
I need your picture blue eyes.
Picture blue eyes
Your diamond smile
I need your picture blue eyes.

03. TEARS WON’T WASH AWAY MY HEARTACHE

Oh, I sold my heart to you
(babe) like all dreamers do.
Feel the shadows of a heartache.
Out of reach and out of touch,
yeah, I’ll give you (babe) so much.
Feel the shadows of a heartache.
On a restless world, I need my dream.
Someone, save my life! And I know what it means:

Tears won’t wash away my heartache -
tears won’t wash away, tears won’t wash away.
Tears won’t wash away my heartache -
tears won’t wash away, tears won’t wash away.
And I’m losing my dream - I’m praying to you:
Davie, oh Davie, I’m dreaming.
Davie, oh Davie, believe me!
Tears won’t wash it away - oh, won’t wash it away
’cause you get all my heart, babe.

Say: “Farewell” - don’t say: “Goodbye”.
It’s too late for a try.
Why can’t we live together?
Years may come and years may go
Oh, you hurt before you grow
in the shadows of a heartache.
I’ll be afraid I’m losing you.
Oh, come save my life, babe - oh, you’re making me blue.

Tears won’t wash away my heartache -
tears won’t wash away, tears won’t wash away.
Tears won’t wash away my heartache -
tears won’t wash away, tears won’t wash away.
And I’m losing my dream - I’m praying to you:
Davie, oh Davie, I’m dreaming.
Oh Davie, oh Davie, believe me!
Tears won’t wash it away - oh, won’t wash it away
’cause you get all my heart, babe.
Won’t wash away my heartache -
tears won’t wash away, tears won’t wash away.
Tears won’t wash away my heartache -
tears won’t wash away, tears won’t wash away.
Tears won’t wash away my heartache…

04. Very Important Person (THEY’RE CALLING ME TONIGHT)

Oh baby, you can see me on TV
I know the hearts are mine.
Baby, baby, in the light of mystery
Oh, that’s a good sign.
Baby, baby, feel my heart emotion
Baby, baby, feel the deep devotion
Baby, baby, but my heart is feeding
I know my heart’s succeeding.

Refrain:
V. I. P. - they’re calling me tonight.
V. I. P. - oh, time is on my side.
Baby, baby, I’m living on airports
Baby, baby, I’m going to New York
Baby, baby, oh, my heart is burning
I’m tossing and I’m turning.
V. I. P. - they’re calling me tonight.
V. I. P. - oh, time is on my side.

Oh baby, do you see the magazines?
Oh, that’s so-so fine.
Baby, baby, right next to good James Dean
I know the hearts are mine.
Baby, baby, feel my vibrations
Babe, I’m an overnight sensation
Baby, baby, but my heart is feeding
I know my heart’s succeeding.

05. YOU CAN’T RUN AWAY FROM IT

Big yellow taxi, bring him back to me.
Big yellow taxi, love is guarantee.
I know, she’s a Venus in blue jeans
but know, she’s a queen of broken dreams.
Come on hold me - I’ll be your lady.

Refrain:
You can’t run away from it
We are night-birds in the street.
You can save your heart if you break apart.
You can lose my heart, a bit.
You can’t run away from it
Can’t you hear (babe) my heartbeat?
You can’t see the chance for a new romance.
You can’t run away from it.

Big yellow taxi, let the forewind blow.
Big yellow taxi, love will come and go.
Two rounds (my babe) don’t make it right.
Whose hearts are just breaking just tonight?
Come on hold me - I’ll be your lady.

REFRAIN

You can’t run away!
You can’t run away!
You can see you’re next!
You can’t run away from it.

06. HEAVEN AND HELL

Heaven can be cold
(baby, baby) when you lose control.
Everybody needs someone to love - be careful in the night!
He can’t hurt you more
(baby, baby) as he did before.
Come on (baby) keep your hands off him in the Gipsy night.
It will come and go - everybody knows.

Refrain:
You make your own heaven and hell.
Daytime lovers love for sale.
You make your own heaven and hell.
Letters (full of tears) will tell.
He takes your heart - I know him well.
You’ve got no time to lose for heaven and hell.

Behind a painted smile
(baby, baby) he is running wild.
Everybody needs some love tonight - be careful in the night!
He don’t wanna lose -
(baby, baby) it’s a simply news.
Come on (baby) keep your hands off him in the Gipsy night.
It will come and go - everybody knows.

REFRAIN (twice)

For heaven and hell!
For heaven and hell!
For heaven and hell!

07. HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS

Daytime friends and nighttime fools -
oh, they’re breaking golden rules,
dreaming all their dreams come true -
dreaming like the big guys do.
From a day in paradise
and a life without a lie,
little dreams can go a long-long way.

Refrain:
Don’t stop these Hollywood nights! Stand up and fight!
Oho-oho, Hollywood nights
Don’t stop these Hollywood nights! Know that it’s right!
Oho-oho, Hollywood nights

Dreams are more than a little wish,
broken promises - maybe you’re rich.
There is a will - there is a way.
You’ll bear the pain another day.
You can make it if you try.
Don’t give up - oh baby, why?
Little dreams can go a long-long way.

REFRAIN

Oho-oho, Hollywood nights
Oho-oho, stand up and fight!
Oho-oho, Hollywood nights
Oho-oho, know that it’s right!

08. BORN ON THE WIND

Oh, he is breaking my heart now again
Over and over, I’m crying
Down - oh, down in my heart.
Someday you’ll want me (babe) to want you
Easier said than done for you
Down - oh, down in my soul.
Baby, down - oh, down in my heart.

Refrain:
(Born on the wind) That’s where my heartache blow.
(Born on the wind) That’s where my feelings go.

Tossing and turning before
Down - oh, down goes my heart.
Never there will be another you
Breaking up, oh, you do
Down - oh, down in my soul.
Baby, down - oh, down in my heart.

Born on the wind (born on the wind)
Born on the wind (born on the wind)

09. WILD FIRE

I’m a stranger here - you have no heart of stone
I’m feeling so alone - I know what hell is.
Reach out - I’ll be there (long as the rose is red)
Oh, do not make me sad in the mystic light.
Don’t lose my number, hey - oh babe, we hold the key.
Oh baby, come what may - I get no guarantees.

Refrain:
Wild fire is the name for love.
Wild fire - I can’t get enough.
Do anything you wanna do -
nights are forever without you.
Wild fire - I’ve been born again.
Wild fire - come and be my friend.
Do anything you wanna do -
nothing can take the place of you.

On the wings of love - good love can never die
My hope is still alive - oh, I hate these lies.
Light the flame of love - I know (babe) what to do
’cause I am missing you in the mystic light.
Don’t treat me like a child - I almost lost my mind.
Time (babe) is on my side - it’s a loving kind.

REFRAIN

10. STOP - DRAGGING MY HEART AROUND

Save me when I hurt you
Secret message - dangerous games.
Reach out - love is so proud
It’s the countdown to my dream.
It’s a danger - you’re a stranger.

Refrain:
Oh, stop dragging my heart around!
I’m qualified - you’re satisfied
I’m qualified for love, my baby.
Stop dragging my heart around!
Close your eyes and count to ten
I’m standing here again, oh baby, oh baby.

Save me from this hotline
Oh, I’m looking to magic tears.
God knows, oh, your love grows
Oh, I’m feeling pain and fears.
It’s a danger - you’re a stranger.

REFRAIN

Stop dragging my heart around!
I’m qualified - you’re satisfied
I’m qualified for love.
