01. TV MAKES THE SUPERSTAR

You take your chance to be the one.
And anything is possible if you are strong (oh yeah).
Sometimes you’re up - sometimes you’re down.
But you feel it in your heart - you can’t go wrong.
You are so nervous (just every single day).
Hear a voice from heaven - you’ll find your way (oh).

Refrain:
TV makes it - TV even breaks it.
TV makes the superstar wherever you are (oh yeah).
TV makes it - TV even breaks it.
TV makes the superstar - sometimes it’s so hard.
TV makes a star, makes a superstar - shows you a crazy life.
TV takes you high and takes you low - will your hope survive?
TV makes a star, a superstar - and it makes your dream come true.
TV makes you laugh and makes you cry - do it just for you.

Don’t be so sad - you’re not the one.
There’s another chance for you - keep holding on (oh yeah)!
Just take your time - and you will see:
you can win it if you want (oh, just like me).
You need something to live for (every single day).
I keep my fingers crossed - you’ll find your way (oh yeah).

REFRAIN

TV makes it - TV even breaks it.
Oh REFRAIN
TV makes it - TV even breaks it.

02. I’M NO ROCKEFELLER

C’est l’histoire de l’amour
Je t’aime
Je suis fou de toi
Je t’embrasse

I saw her eyes (like rain in May).
A Paris night, Champs-Elysées
A flickering light, an old café
Oh, should I run away?
A one-night stand, a small hotel
She broke my heart, heaven and hell.
I was so wrong - she knew it all.
Now I’m waiting for her call.

Refrain:
Baby, I’m no rockefeller.
I’m no fortune-teller -
I don’t promise you my heart.
Baby, I’m no rockefeller.
Baby, but I tell ya:
we can try a brand-new start.
Oh, I swear to you (I swear to you),
I’ll never make you blue (I make you blue).
You are always in my heart, for sure.

Mon cher, qu’est-ce que tu fais avec mon coeur?
Recherche-moi je t’attendrai

I took the plane to JFK -
an endless flight, I have to say.
I missed that girl more than my life.
Will this love survive?
Back to the plane to Charles de Gaulle
She was my heart, she was my soul.
I know for sure, she’s good to me.
The rest is history.

REFRAIN

Mon amour
C’est l’amour de ma vie

Je cherche en toi un peu d’amour
Je t’aime, mon cher

Baby, I’m no rockefeller.
I’m no fortune-teller -
I don’t promise you my heart.
Oh, I swear to you (I swear to you),
I’ll never make you blue (I make you blue).
You are always in my heart, for sure.

Je t’attendrai, mon amour

03. MYSTERY

Oh, love is a mystery.
Oh, love is a mystery.

She was the sister of Margarita. It was long-long ago.
And I told her that I need her so much she wouldn’t know.
And her brother was Juanito (he was a friend of mine).
And I told him that I missed her, but she has no time.
And I said: “Ma-Marie-amore, you’re the girl I adore”.

Refrain:
Love is a mystery
With an “L” and an “O” and a “V” and an “E”
It’s like history
With an “L” and an “O” and a “V” and an “E”
It’s ending on the floor in the heat of the night
with the hands in the air - and I hold her tight.
And the “L” and the “O” and the “V” and the “E”
I know, this girl is a mystery.

I drank a lot of cool tequilas - should I go or should I stay?
My heart told me I need her, but I’m too shy to say.
I drank a lot of caipirinhas - I was walking like on air.
And I told her that I love her (baby, oh, I swear).
I said: “Marie-Maria-amore, you’re the girl I adore”.

REFRAIN

Oh, love is a mystery.
Oh, love is a mystery.

REFRAIN

Oh, love is a mystery.
Oh, love is a mystery.

Maria-Maria-Maria-Maria-amore

04. EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY

Oh, everybody needs somebody, baby.
Everybody needs someone to love.
Anytime I see you, I get crazy.
Anytime I kiss you, can’t get enough.

Tell me: is this love a burning fire that’s burning fast but then it’s gone away?
Oh, tell me, baby: do you feel desire? I’ll give you everything (I’m too shy to say).
I don’t wanna lose you, girl. I won’t let you go.
Oh, I don’t wanna lose you, girl. My love will show.

Refrain:
Oh, everybody needs somebody, baby.
Everybody needs someone to love.
Anytime I see you, I get crazy.
Anytime I kiss you, can’t get enough.
Oh, you - you are a symphony.
Oh, you - you are my destiny.
Girl, you - you are the Venus of my heart.


Tell me, babe: do you find another-another man who’s breaking your heart?
Oh, tell me, baby: is he your new lover? And you will say - love will break apart.
Oh, this is now the end of love. I won’t let you go.
Oh, why’d you break this lonely heart? Say it isn’t so.

REFRAIN

Oh, everybody needs somebody, baby -
needs someone to love.
I get crazy.
I can’t get enough.
Oh, you - you are a symphony.
Oh, you - you are my destiny.
Girl, you - you are the Venus of my heart.

05. HEART OF AN ANGEL

Heart of an angel
One heart of gold

She’s crying a river - she helps everyone.
There is so much sorrow - she has to be strong.
She needs all her power for helping the poor,
showing heaven to you.
There’s something to live for (oh, what makes you glad).
Oh, she can’t see it (if people are sad).
A new star in heaven - she helps everyday.
Hope, she lives for ever and a day.

Refrain:
She has a heart (heart of an angel).
She has a heart (heart of gold).
It is more and more than a lonely heart can hold.
She has a heart (heart of an angel).
She lives thousand lives in one.
She is the queen of hearts - for her I sing this song.

Heart of an angel

She gives everything - she helps everyone.
Sometimes it’s easier (oh) said than done.
She wears love like heaven and she knows no fear.
She lives between a laugh and a tear.

REFRAIN (twice)

One heart of gold
Heart of an angel
Heart of an angel

06. WHO WILL BE THERE?

Who will be there-there-there?
Who will be there-there-there?

The rain is getting stronger - I listen to the rain.
And I can’t wait no longer - oh, please, come back again!
If I could live forever (baby), I will live with you.
If we can’t be together (baby), I will die - it’s true.

Refrain:
Who will be there when the lights go out?
Who will be there? My heart cries loud.
Baby, I swear that I’ll be there if you need me.
Who will be there when I’m alone?
Who will be there? Where is my home?
Who will be there? It’s so unfair. Stay by my side!

Who will be there-there-there?
Who will be there-there-there?

The summer was (oh) magic - oh baby, just we two.
Now times are getting tragic and lonely without you.
Oh, when my heart is crying (baby oh), it cries for you.
And if our love is dying (baby), I will die - it’s true.

REFRAIN

Who will be there when the lights go out (and when my heart cries loud and if you need me) ?

REFRAIN

Life is too short - don’t throw it away.
Hear (what I say) if you’re lonely.
Stand up if you fall down.
Please look around - you’re not the only.

Life is too short - don’t lose your time.
The sun will shine for your tomorrows.
You’ll win if you don’t lose.
Try it again - forget your sorrows.

There is a chance - make the best out of your life.
But it’s so tough: only the strong - they will survive.

Nothing but the truth (nothing but the truth)
Nothing but the truth (nothing but the truth)

Is your heart really mine?
When will I see you again?
When will this sad moment end?

Nothing but my heart (nothing but my heart)
