DIETER BOHLEN - Obsession (1990 BMG CD 260 995)

01. LOVE IS SUCH A LONELY SWORD

Love is such a lonely sword.
Love is such a lonely sword.

You can’t go where roses grow. If you love me, let me know!
Come love me - I swear you, I never will go.
Silence - it’s a strong reply. That’s not a way to say goodbye.
Come love me - I swear you, I never will go.
Love is so invisible (comprehend!), impossible.
I love you - I swear you, I never will go.

Refrain:
I will hide my tears.
Love is such a lonely sword.
I will share your fears.
Love is such a lonely sword.

Oh, Catherine-wheel, my Catherine-wheel
Oh, love is like a history.
Oh, Catherine-wheel, my Catherine-wheel
Come home.

Love is such a lonely sword.
Love is such a lonely sword.

I don’t know, I can’t explain what a kind of fool I am.
Come love me - I swear you, I never will go.
Baby, you can make my day. Seven lonely nights I pray.
Come love me - I swear you, I never will go.
Love is so invisible (comprehend!), impossible.
I love you - I swear you, I never will go.

REFRAIN
Oh, Catherine-wheel, my Catherine-wheel
Oh, love is like a history.
Oh, Catherine-wheel, my Catherine-wheel
Come home.

REFRAIN (thrice)

02. WHEN SARAH SMILES

She was so young when she took the street
(born too late in the midday heat).
Her parents said: “She went to America”.
She wasted days and she wasted nights -
everybody’s girl, nobody’s child.
Her mother said: “She went to America”.
Another day and another time,
heaven is so hard to find.
Sarah said: “Hello, America!
I don’t care where I sleep tonight.
I don’t care if I’m right.
I like to dance, catch the wind.”

Refrain:
When Sarah smiles, her eyes shine in blue.
I know, she’s smiling straight from her heart.
When Sarah smiles, it means heaven too.
I know, her heart is breaking apart.

When Sarah smiles

She was so young when she left her home
(packed the things like a rolling stone).
Rocky said: “She went to America”.
She cried some tears, she said goodbye -
wants to go where the eagle fly.
Her mother said: “She went to America”.
She was alone in a lonely world -
on L. A. drive, she met a girl.
Sarah said: “Hello, America!
I like to see ocean in the sky.
Don’t stop me when I try.
I like to dance, catch the wind.”

REFRAIN
When Sarah smiles

REFRAIN (thrice)

06. 48 HOURS

This world is a burning fire - everybody pays his price.
You can’t stop me, my desire - I’m the pirate of paradise.
I know, heaven is forever - I can’t stop (babe) loving you.
Here I dance on heavy weather - I always will be true.
Just another dream I will share with you.

48 hours - come (baby) hit me all night long!
48 hours - oh baby, make me (ooh) so strong!
48 hours - come hear the rhythm of my heart!
I’m burning, turning - turning for a start.
Oh babe, only 48 hours
You can make me strong and say.
Oh, the only 48 hours
We’ll be walking, we’ll be talking to the U.S.A.

This love is like a thunder - oh, nobody knows my way.
Though heartaches by the number, I can win if I don’t play.
Outside the gates of heaven, a love is hard to find.
Close your eyes to seven - you are always on my mind.
Just another dream I will share with you.
Just another night - gonna feeling blue.
Just another day - I can’t say goodbye.
Hit me, hit me, baby - I don’t lie.

REFRAIN (twice)

07. I’M NOT THAT KIND OF GUY

She walked to the room, and she asked me to dance.
I got a heart for a second chance.
She was kissing me (baby) all the night away.
“I’ve got what you’re needing - baby, it’s true.
I give it up (oh) just for you.”
She was kissing me (baby) all the night away.
She’s just like a bird flying alone.
Will she make it (baby) on her own even when I fall in love with her?
She was holding me - I said to her:
“Tears don’t make a millionaire dancing all the night away”.

Refrain:
I’m not that kind of guy who’s breaking lonely hearts.
I’m not that kind of guy who breaks a promise in the dark.
I’m not that lonely child who’s fighting for a star.
I’m not that kind of guy who’s breaking just a lonely heart.

I know, I’m born on the wrong side of town.
But you can keep a good man down.
She was kissing me (baby) all the night away.
You are just like a child in a Hollywood night.
I cannot win if you do not fight.
She was kissing me (baby) all the night away.
She took my love (love for two).
There’ll never be another you (even just the fools don’t let you go).
Come fly with me on the wings of love.
She’s loving me, and I need that stuff dancing all the night away.
