DIETER BOHLEN - Here I Am (1997 BMG CD 74321 52584-2)

01. LOVE WILL DRIVE ME CRAZY

I met a girl in Brooklyn - I met her in Paris
She told her name was Lisa - her real name was Marie.
I fell in love with Lisa - I married her one day
The next thing that I heard: she’s living in L. A.

Refrain:
Oh b-b-baby, I’m feeling, Love will drive me crazy.
And if you call my number (girl, oh), I’ll kiss you - be my lady.
Oh b-b-b-b-b-b-baby, I’m feeling, Love will drive me crazy.
And if you touch my body (girl), I will love you - there’s no “maybe”.
Oh, can you, can you feel it? (Can you, can you feel it?)
Can you, can you feel it? I’m feeling, Love is in the air.

I met her near by Brighton in a lazy red light bar
No one was just like Lisa - her love was so bizarre.
She had a friend in L. A. near Downtown Boulevard
The last thing I remember: she always break my heart.

REFRAIN

From L. A. to New York (babe), from Houston to L. A.
My heartache gets so crazy when she went away.
From Texas to Barbados, from Vegas to the sea
I heard, my heart was crying: “Oh, come back to me!”

REFRAIN

Oho, can you, can you feel it?
Can you, can you feel it? I’m feeling, Love is in the air.

02. ANYTHING

There’s something I’d like to tell you - something between you and me.

I would do anything, my baby -
I would do anything for you.
I give my heart, my life and maybe
Oh, please believe me that my love is true.

I’m walking through - my heart is on fire
And you don’t know - oh, I miss you so.
I’m talking through my heart’s desire
I’m telling you what love can do.

In every night and every dream
I have a vision that I always see
Thousand light-years you’re away
I wanna hold you - baby, stay.
All I want is you and me -
that’s my only fantasy.
The more I dream - the less I find.
You’re always (baby) in my mind.

Refrain:
I would do anything, my baby -
I would do anything for you.
I give my heart, my life and maybe
Oh, please believe me that my love is true.
I give you my heart - oh baby, that’s true
I only wanna be with you.
I give you my love - and that is no lie
I only wanna, baby, one more try.

Don’t blame my heart through time and motion
Oh, you don’t know - oh, I miss you so.
Don’t blame my heart, my true devotion
I’m telling you - love finds a fool.

Oh, anytime and anywhere
I see your pictures - oh, I swear
Tears may go and years may come
If you would go, I’m so alone.
Love is a drama - can’t you see?
I own my dream - I never feel free
Lonely words - sense in my heart
Baby, please don’t tear apart.

REFRAIN

I would do anything (I want you), my baby (I need you) -
I would do anything for you.
I give my heart (I want you), my life and maybe (I need you)
Oh, please believe me that my love is true.
I would do anything (I want you), my baby (I need you) -
I would do anything for you.
I give my heart (I want you), my life and maybe (I need you)
Oh, please believe me that my love is true.

03. I MISS YOU

Refrain:
I miss, I miss, I miss you - I miss you night and day.
I miss, I miss, I miss you - come back and stay!

REFRAIN

Baby, babe, believe me, you’re talking in your sleep
I promised you - believe me, our secrets I will keep.
Oh baby, babe, I swear you, I send an S. O. S. to you
And if you really want me, I’ll never make you blue.
And if you promise, it’s forever.
Oh baby, can we live together?

REFRAIN

And when I die - I die for you
And when I cry - I cry just for you
Every little thing - everything I do for you
Yeah-yeah!
I miss you
With or without you - with or without you

Oh baby, babe, believe me, I call you on the phone
I promised you - believe me, oh babe, I’m so alone.
Oh baby, let me hold you - there’s something going on
You know that I have told you - heaven is for everyone.
And if you promise, it’s forever.
Baby, can’t we live together?

REFRAIN

And when I die - I die for you
And when I cry - I cry just for you
Every little thing - everything I do for you
Yeah-yeah!
Babe, I miss you
With or without you - with or without you

REFRAIN (twice)

04. I LOVE THE WAY YOU ARE

Here I stand - oh, I cannot live without you, baby
From the first step I could walk, I walked to you.
Here I stand - and I cannot breathe without you, baby
From the moment I could talk, <I> talked about you.
Oh, why can’t we live together?
Baby, why - why you promised love

Refrain:
I love the way you are, I love the way you smile.
And deep down in my heart, you’re driving me so wild.
I love the way you are, I love the way you smile.
You’re always in my heart - oh, I can’t wait awhile.

Here I stand - somewhere between love and tomorrow
I can build a bridge to you, if you’re not there.
Here I stand - oh, somewhere between love and my sorrow
Oh, I’m laughing through my tears - baby, I swear.
Why can’t we live together?
Baby, why - why you leave me, girl

REFRAIN

Stay with me tonight, stay with me tonight
Baby, I will never let you go.
Stay with me tonight, stay with me tonight
Baby, that’s the only thing I know.

REFRAIN

Yes, I love the way you are.

05. DON’T DO THAT

Don’t do that (don’t do that)
Don’t do that
Don’t do that (please don’t do that)
Don’t do that

I can love you - love you, little China girl
You’re living in a secret world
And I don’t know if it’s easy (baby), when you’re falling in love.
I can love you - but I promise to return
Oh, I know, your heart will burn
Oh, I don’t know if it’s easy (baby), when you’re falling in love.

Refrain:
Oh, don’t do that (don’t do that)
You break my heart (you’re breaking my heart)
I fall in love with you (fall in love)
You break apart (you’re breaking apart).
But if you go, I’ll lose my love.
If you go, I’ll never love.
Don’t do that (don’t do that)
Don’t do that to me.

I can leave you, if you look at me this way
Meet me in my dreams and say
Oh, I know, it’s not sweeter - sweeter when you’re falling in love.
I can leave you - no more nights with no end
Babe, I know, you understand
Oh, I know, love is sweeter - sweeter when you’re falling in love.

REFRAIN

Don’t do that (don’t do that)
You break my heart (you’re breaking my heart)
I fall in love with you (fall in love)
You break apart (you’re breaking apart).

REFRAIN

Don’t do that.

06. BABY BELIEVE ME

Baby, believe me - believe me that it’s true.
Baby, believe me - you know that I love you.

Baby, believe me - baby, believe me that it’s true.
Oh baby, believe me. Oh, I know that I love you.
Baby, believe me, I will find my way back home.
Baby, believe me. I don’t wanna be alone.

Oh, every night I’m waiting for your call.
Oh, every night I’m staring at the wall.
Every night my heartache falls and falls.
I’m only lonely, only lonely.
Every night and every day I see
you in the mirror of my fantasy.
The silence brings your words to me.
I’m only lonely, only lonely.

Refrain:
Oh baby, believe me (baby, believe me) - baby, believe me that it’s true.

I search you (baby) on this whole wide world.
I search you everywhere to be my girl.
And I will give you (baby) all my life.
I’m only lonely, only lonely.
Oh, every time (I see your smiling face) -
I’m in a dream, I’m in a different space.
Oh, are you ready to make love to me?
I’m only lonely, only lonely.

REFRAIN

Baby, believe me - baby, believe me that it’s true.

07. YOU ARE LYIN’

You are lying, lying, lying, lying (baby) why you’re breaking my heart.
You are crying, crying, crying, crying (baby) when I’m tearing apart.
You are lying, lying, lying, lying (baby) why you’re breaking my heart.
You are crying, crying, crying, crying (baby) when I’m tearing apart.

Yes, you said, we are two ships (passing through the night).
But you know on a night like this I’m sitting here alone.
Where are those dreams you promised me, my love? I’m so scared of loneliness.
And no one cared about what I’m thinking.
But I hear you (knocking at my door), and nothing hurts forever.
And you said, I’m lying - you really think I’m lying to you.

Refrain:
You are lying, lying, lying, lying [Babe, I’m lying.] (baby) why you’re breaking my heart.
You are crying, crying, crying, crying [Babe, I’m crying.] (baby) when I’m tearing apart.
Oh, it’s raining - oh, it’s raining in my heart
And I’m running back to you.
Oh, I’m playing - playing just a dirty part
I will never make you blue.

Yes, you said to me, you were jealous and I’m fooling around with other girls.
But you know: when a love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
Every night I’m running around, and they scandalize my name.
And no one cared about what I’m thinking - no one cared about me.
But how many times can we say goodbye? - One day it’s over.
And you said, I’m lying - you really think I’m lying to you.

REFRAIN

You are lying, lying, lying, lying (baby) why you’re breaking my heart.
You are crying, crying, crying, crying [Oh babe, I’m crying.] (baby) when I’m tearing apart.
Oh, it’s raining - oh, it’s raining in my heart
And I’m running back to you.
Oh, I’m playing - playing just a dirty part
I will never make you blue.

I will never make you blue.

08. C’EST LA VIE

C’est la vie (oh commanchero)

I know my love will find a way.
I miss you, baby - it’s hard to say.
And if you love me like I am, -
I will be there - I’ll be your man.
I know I hurt you the way that I leave you.
I know I fool you tonight.

C’est la vie (oh commanchero)

Oh, love can build a bridge to you.
I’m waiting, baby - see what love do.
I give my heart - just all of me.
Take all my heart - don’t set me free.
I know I hurt you the way that I leave you.
I know I fool you tonight.

C’est la vie (oh commanchero)

09. EVERY DAY, EVERY NIGHT

Refrain:
Every night, every day (oh) I’m searching for my way.
And I’m dreaming of you all my life.
Every night, every day - oh, believe me, oh, I pray
Send a dream to your heart to survive.

REFRAIN

I saw Love in her eyes promised paradise.
Every night, every day (baby, oh) I pray.
Oh, she lied when she cried - she cannot hide.
She was sad (oh, so sad) - really it wasn’t bad.
I saw Love in her eyes, and my paradise.
Every night, every day - hard for me to say.
I was blind (oh, so blind) - couldn’t realize
that my heart (oh, my heart) was hypnotized in you.

REFRAIN

Oh, I cry, cry forever
Why can’t we stay together?
Can’t you see: my life is in your hands?
Oh, I cry, cry forever
Baby, I will love you ever
Can’t you see: my life is in your hands?
Can’t you see: my life is in your hands?

Oh, it hurts that she’s gone - feeling so alone.
Every night, every day, oh, don’t turn away.
Come back - please come back - always in my head.
Only you makes me blue - bad what love can do.
Can’t I find in your mind - you’re the lonely kind
Every night, every day - believe me when I say.
I need you (just you) - couldn’t realize
that your heart (in my heart) was so specialized in me.

REFRAIN

Oh, I cry, cry forever
Why can’t we stay together?
Can’t you see: my life is in your hands?
Oh, I cry, cry forever
Baby, I will love you ever
Can’t you see: my life is in your hands?
Can’t you see: my life is in your hands?

It’s a shame, shame, shame that this night will have an end.

11. I BELIEVE YOU ARE AN ANGEL

Oh, take me just the way I am.
Oh, let me be your friend.
Tell me it’s forever.
Oh, you are like a shining star -
so beautiful but far.
We tie our dreams together.
Oh babe, it’s raining in my heart.
Oh, just a game you play, and then you break apart.

Refrain:
I believe you are an angel, believe you are an angel.
If you would come from heaven, heaven must be missing you.
I believe you are an angel, believe you are an angel.
When I say “I love you”, you’re always in my heart.

Oh, say the words I wanna hear.
I wanna be so near
and hold you just forever.
Oh, do you think that time stands still?
I wanna feel your thrill.
There’s never be a never.
Oh babe, the tears I cried for you.
I never saw a girl I loved like I do.
