DIETER BOHLEN - Secret Rendezvous (1992 East West (Warner) CD 4509-90688-2)

01. THIS TIME IT’S FOREVER

Baby, baby, this time (I know) it’s forever - trust me, darling!
Baby, baby, you break my heart (can’t you see?) if you refuse me.
Baby, baby, this time we’re staying together - I’ll never let you go.
Now I know - baby, now I’m sure.

Refrain:
Oh baby, this time (I know) it’s forever
Let’s stay together
I’ll prove my love for you.
Oh baby, this time I’ll love you like crazy
No, there’s no maybe
I’ll give a heart that’s true.

Baby, baby, I always (always) will love you - I missed you, darling.
Baby, baby, I cry with all of my heart - for this time I’m guilty.
Baby, baby, believe that my love is a true love. I know you’re hurt inside
Lost your pride - so much tears you’ve cried.

02. ONLY IN AMERICA

When your heart is weak and you need someone to have a talk or lean upon, -
oh, I’m your friend, in you a believer.
When a curtain falls and it’s time to go, when no one calls, then time will show.
Oh, I’m your friend, in you a believer.
I’m only a ticket ride away from your side.

Refrain 1:
Oh, only in America is where I’m gonna be.
Only in America - just across the sea.
I’m only in America if ever you need me.
Only in America, I’ll miss you desperately.

When it’s time to go, a tear we’ll cry. I’ll miss you lots as time goes by.
Oh, to the end, in you a believer.
A thousand miles of sea and sand will never stop my helping hand.
Oh, I’m your friend, in you a believer.
I’m only a telephone away from your call.

Refrain 2:
Only in America is where I’m gonna be.
Only in America - just across the sea.
Oh, only in America if ever you need me.
Only in America, I’ll miss you desperately.

03. SECRET RENDEZVOUS

Baby, don’t say yes (you love me) if it’s just a lie to me.
And, baby, don’t pretend that you’re mine if somewhere else you’d rather be.
Oh, I try to tell my suspicious heart that your love was true right from the start.
But is that true? -

Oh baby, say it is. Don’t deceive me now!
Girl, this heart of mine needs you anyhow.
Oh, you say you won’t ever let me go,
but there’s something (girl) that I’ve got to know:
Is it true: you have a secret rendezvous ?

Oh baby, it’s so sad, hurts so bad every time you say goodbye -
and I just wanna cry. I gotta know if on your love I can rely.
Oh, I try to tell my foolish heart that your love was real right from the start.
But is that true? -

Oh baby, say it is. Gotta let me know.
When these tears I’ve dried, tell me: where’d you go?
Baby, say you won’t ever leave me (girl)
’cause you’re all I’ve got in this crazy world.
Is it true: you have a secret rendezvous ?

Oh baby, say it is. Don’t deceive me now!
Girl, this heart of mine needs you anyhow.
Baby, say you won’t ever leave me (girl)
’cause you’re all I’ve got in this crazy world.
Is it true: you have a secret rendezvous ?

04. SLOW MOTION

Hold me, baby - I can feel your heart
slowly (baby) from the very start.
Every time we kiss - it’s like an everlasting flame
(burning sweetly deep inside my soul).

I feel the slow motion every time we kiss -
slow motion that I can’t resist.
Anything about you: you’re never in a rush.
Girl, I love this feeling between the two of us.
Ooh baby, what you’re doing to me
Slow, slow loving every part of me
Ten times this feeling almost gets too much
Slow exciting, baby - the slowness of your touch.

Slowly (baby) giving all your love
Slowly crazy when we’re making love.
Every move (you make) is a sure and joyous thing
(filling me with all the joy you bring).

I feel the slow motion every time we kiss -
slow motion that I can’t resist.
Nothing better (baby) that I would rather do
but spend my whole life (lady) slowly loving you.
Ooh baby, what you’re doing to me
Slow, slow loving every part of me
Anything about you: you’re never in a rush.
Girl, I love this loving between the two of us.
Oh!

Oh baby, slow motion every time we kiss -
slow motion that I can’t resist.
Anything about you: you’re never in a rush.
Girl, I love this feeling between the two of us.
Ooh baby, what you’re doing to me
Slow, slow loving every part of me
Baby, your loving is too much, babe
You’re slow exciting, baby - the slowness of your touch.

05. WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT GIRL?

She was such a perfect lady and in a shape.
She made a fool of me again and again.
She tried to fool my heart, yeah, tried to win my love.
Girl, in my opinion, you’re playing it too tough.
She was so fascinating, grown, nice and cool.
’cause all the love I gave her - that lady treat me cruel
Tried to rule my heart, yeah, tried to rule my head
when all (that she wanted) was to get inside my pain.

Refrain:
What happened to that girl with the perfect body?
What happened to that girl that was (oh) so naughty?
What happened to that girl? Oh, tell her one night is not enough.

No, I have no name, no number - I can’t let it die.
She gave me such a good time - the girl I can’t deny.
I don’t know where to find her - I don’t know where she’s gone.
That lady seemed to vanish with the morning sun.
She was so fascinating - gave it all she could.
Never knew a woman that satisfied so good.
Got lost in the passion deep inside the thrill.
Got to have her one more time - but (I know) I never will.

07. LADY IN AMSTERDAM

Sleeping in my bed tonight

Oh, I kissed her in Paris - oh, I met her in Rome.
She set my world on fire, then left me alone.
But you kept the promise, sweet lady (the promise you made me),
that you’d be back to save me, back to set me free.
Oh, we had heads in London on a hot summer’s day.
You let me steal a kiss there, then pushed me away.
But you kept the promise, sweet lady (the promise you made me),
that when the time was right (girl), you’d give it all to me.
Baby!

Refrain:
Wake up and make sweet love again, little lady in Amsterdam!
Wake up and make sweet love to me - wanna love you endlessly.

Oh, we drank wine in Paris, walked for hours in Rome.
She kissed me on a cheek, yeah, then sent me home.
But you kept the promise, sweet lady (the promise you gave me).
Oh, you do it so good, girl - girl, you’re good for me.
We danced all night in Berlin until we could drop.
But when I got romantic, she told me to stop.
But you kept the promise, sweet lady (the promise you gave me),
that when the time was right (girl), you’d give it all to me.

REFRAIN

Baby, I can’t explain how you’re doing it again.
You fill me with desire, girl - baby, take me higher!
Baby, I can’t believe the things you’re doing to relieve,
just to prove your love is true. Baby, I will die for you.

Sleeping in my bed tonight

08. I’M IN LOVE WITH A MARRIED WOMAN [written by Errol Brown, produced by Dieter Bohlen]


09. TOMORROW IS SUCH A LONG TIME

It’s such a long time left to go.
You say, tomorrow you will know.
Oh, may I sleep in your arms? Oh, hold me, baby!
You say, tonight you’re not too sure.
But there’s a love you can’t ignore.
Oh, may I sleep in your arms? Oh, love me, baby!

Refrain:
Oh, love me now - tomorrow’s such a long time.
I need you (baby) now - tomorrow you can be mine.
But right now, baby, let my arms hold you so tight.
Please let our love stay through the night.
Love me now!

Tonight we hold each other close
before the last dream comes and goes.
Oh, may I sleep in your arms? Oh, trust me, baby!
You say this time that we should wait
before this chance has come too late.
Oh, may I sleep in your arms? I love you, baby.

10. FORBIDDEN LOVERS

I needed love when I saw her for the very first time.
And I knew from the start, I could make her love mine.
And I promised myself: now I had found her I’d never let her go.
In her eyes, I could see the same reflection
of a heart that was filled with the same emotion.
And I knew (from the passion and our first kiss) that she was made for me.

Refrain:
We are forbidden lovers - we are forbidden lovers.
We are a wonderful dream that never will come true.
Oh baby, forbidden lovers - we are forbidden lovers -
oh darling, forbidden but so good.

As she laid in my arms for the very first time,
felt the tremble and touch of her hand upon mine.
And her ring shone so brightly on the finger that laid along my skin.
And I knew in my heart, she would never be mine.
Felt the pleasure and pain of the forbidden kind
as her lips kissed so lightly across my shoulder - behind the secret door.

REFRAIN

11. THAT’S NO LIE

I saw your face in a magazine (your smile’s just like the sun) -
took me back to times gone by when our love begun.
I never knew the truth (oh) till you were gone.
I’ll never find another you - this world’s just not the same.
Each and every thought of you still fills my heart with pain.
Oh Emma-Emmalene - star of my silver screen - Emma-Emmalene

No, that’s no lie - there’s nothing new.
This broken heart of mine still missing you.
Oh, that’s no shame - no one to blame.
No one can ever take the place of you.

I read your letter all the time, and every word (you say)
brings back that cold December night you took your life away.
How to live (I never knew) in this world without you?
You had the face of a beauty queen - you were my movie star.
You were the best I’ve ever seen - the very best by far.
Oh Emma-Emmalene - star of my silver screen - Emma-Emmalene

No, that’s no lie - there’s nothing more.
And nothing left for me worth living for.
No, that’s no shame - no one to blame.
Without you, life will never be the same.

No, that’s no lie - I’m missing you.
This broken heart of mine still loving you.
Oh, that’s no shame - no one to blame.
Without you, life will never be the same.

My Emmalene!
