DIETER BOHLEN - The First Album (1985 Ariola Eurodisc CD 610 338)

01. YOU’RE MY HEART, YOU’RE MY SOUL [written by Steve Benson] 1984

Deep in my heart - there’s a fire - a burning heart.
Deep in my heart - there’s desire for a start.
I’m dying in emotion. It’s my world in fantasy -
I’m living in my, living in my dreams.

You’re my heart, you’re my soul -
I keep it shining everywhere I go.
You’re my heart, you’re my soul.
I’ll be holding you forever,
stay with you together.
You’re my heart, you’re my soul.
Yeah, I’m feeling that our love will grow.
You’re my heart, you’re my soul -
that’s the only thing I really know.

Let’s close the door and believe my burning heart
Feeling alright, come on open up your heart
I’ll keep the candles burning - Let your body melt in mine
I’m living in my, living in my dreams.

02. YOU CAN WIN IF YOU WANT

You packed your things in a carpet-bag,
left home never looking back.
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
Music wherever you go.
You don’t fit in a small-town world
But I feel you are the girl for me.
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
You’re leaving town where nobody knows.

You can win if you want. If you want it, you will win.
On your way you will see that life is more than fantasy.
Take my hand, follow me - oh, you’ve got a brand-new friend for your life.
You can win if you want. If you want it, you will win.
Oh, come on take a chance for a brand-new wild romance
Take my hand for the night, and your feelings will be right. Hold me tight!

Oh, darkness finds you on your own
Endless highways keep on rolling on
You are miles and miles from your home
But you never want to phone your home.
A steady job and a nice young man -
your parents had your future planned.
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
That’s the way your story goes.

03. THERE’S TOO MUCH BLUE IN MISSING YOU

Like the leaves, falling off a tree, -
(I feel) your love is dying for me.
You tell me it’s not the end, -
where is the love that you foresent?

There’s too much blue in missing you.
I believe I was a fool
before you said good-bye. Oh, give us one more try.
Yeah, I can’t forget all the love we had.
There’s too much blue in missing you.
Oh, believe, my heart is true.
Your love’s slipping away a little bit every day.
You throw it away in such an easy way.

Look at me: I’m the lucky one.
Without feelings you can’t be strong.
Though I call you in the night
to hear your voice, feel you deep inside.

04. DIAMONDS NEVER MADE A LADY

Oh, my heart is crying in the night for you
Oh my God, oh, don’t you feel like a fool?
You’re fooling yourself with a millionaire
You think it’s love but he don’t care
And one of these days you’re gonna be surprised.

Diamonds never made a lady, lover or a friend
I know it
Diamonds never made a lady - all your dreams will end
I know it.
The Californian nights
Warm body, held you tight,
was just a dream.
But all of diamond lights
can’t give you peaceful nights
of sweet dreams.

Oh my God, you really think you have it made
Your heart is won with first-class expenses paid / expensive paint
You drink champagne, eat caviar
A colour-TV in the back of your car
But one of these days you’re gonna be surprised.

05. THE NIGHT IS YOURS - THE NIGHT IS MINE

Refrain:
The night is yours - the night is mine
I beg you, baby, take your time
It’s like paradise <to> see your magic eyes, feel the need in me.
The night is yours - the night is mine
I beg you, baby, take your time
Heaven in your eyes takes me to the sky - I’m in love with you.

Love takes time - it’s hard to find - that’s true.
Not a game you play - a night or two.
Take my heart, let’s make it real tonight
We’ll be dancing to the pale moonlight.
Your dreams are real today
And now you’re gonna stay.

REFRAIN

I will try to make your dreams come true
Trust me, baby, nothing else we’ll do
There’s no need for you to be so cool
Love takes time just like the golden rule.
Your dreams are real today
And now they’re gonna stay.

REFRAIN

Girl, when I see your smile -
imagination’s running wild.
Love makes me feel alright - help me through the night.
Sometimes you’re weak, sometimes you’re wild
You’re a woman, you’re a child
Love makes me feel alright tonight.

06. DO YOU WANNA [Dieter Bohlen - Dieter Bohlen & Mary Applegate]

I hear your heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat - playing with my mind
Oh, I need you wrapped around me just like ivy on a vine.
But now I’m only lonely, lonely holding on to you
Oh, I need you back here with me, yeah! I think you want it too.
Now I feed you with a new emotion - heal you when you cry
I’ll be your loving doctor of the night.

Do you wanna take me tonight?
Do you wanna make me at night?
Do you wanna? - If you wanna, take what you need.
Do you wanna make it alright?
Do you wanna have a sweet night?
Oh baby, do you wanna? - If you wanna, take what you need.

I hear your heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat - begging me for more
Oh, I need to hear that question like a dancer needs the floor.
And now you’re only, only, only holding on to me
Oh, now tell me that you’re coming back - one word is all I need.
Now I feed you with a new emotion - heal you when you cry
I’ll be your loving doctor of the night.

07. LUCKY GUY [written by Steve Benson]

I feel your heart’s tune
I feel the sun move
I hear the last tune
Over and over again, without end.
I feel the flowers
I feel the showers
I hear the last words
Over and over again, without end.

Oho, I’ll be a lucky guy.
Oho, I’ll be a lucky guy.
(Tomorrow) when all things are shaping, -
(Tomorrow) then I’ll be with you.
(Tomorrow) when your heart is aching, -
I keep on loving you.

I feel the magic
That’ll be no tragic
I hear you laughing
Over and over again, without end.
I see you walking
I hear you talking
I feel the loving
Over and over again, without end.

08. ONE IN A MILLION

Refrain:
You are one in a million
You are one in a million
You are all of my love
You are everything for me.
You are one in a million
You are one in a million
You caught me with your charms
when you held me in your arms.

Oh, lonely light
I hear your heartbeat deep in the night.
I need you so
Know that I can’t let you go.
Dim all the lights
and let me hold you so tight.
The night is yours and mine
You’re looking fine just tonight.

REFRAIN

Just like a child
you’re sometimes weak, sometimes you’re wild.
You understand
sometimes I feel like a man.
Stay here tonight
and let me hold you so tight.
You are the one for me
You’re all my dreams, my reality.

REFRAIN

09. BELLS OF PARIS

Oh, I gave you my heart - every little bit
You’re holding me till the night is gone
Oh, my little heart really blew apart.
When you touched me, your hold’s so strong.
Now, you look in my eyes, and I feel the need
I will try to make your dreams come true
Nothing else - I do only loving you
And I never will tell you lies.

Bells of Paris - you steal my heart away
Bells of Paris - remembering that day
Bells of Paris - when I met you on the Champs-Elysées
in that old café.
O-o-oh, bells of Paris - coming up to me
Bells of Paris - like a fantasy
Bells of Paris - I met you in the Paris lights
and I felt alright.

Oh, you stood in the light of an old café
Your flaming eyes breaking up my heart
And you danced in the night, in the magic light
And you gave my life a brand-new start.
Oh, you fed my love to your hungry soul
And I see an angel in your eyes
Wont you take my hand to a wonderland?
I will take you to paradise.
