DIETER BOHLEN - Year Of The Dragon (2000 BMG CD 74321 72298-2)

01. CHINA IN HER EYES

I know we’re two worlds apart - but I want you in my world.
I’m a rapper, and you’re my China girl.
I express myself so clear - I tell no lies.
I only live to see the china in your eyes.

Behind the sun I found some one - my China woman (oh no).
She’s painting clouds day in, day out. My China girl, don’t go!
Oh, I can’t, oh, I can’t, oh, I can’t ignore the way she looks to me.
Oh, I can’t, oh, I can’t, oh, I can’t give her more - just my heart. She is my destiny.

Refrain:
She has China in her eyes - can’t you see it?
China in her eyes - can’t you feel it?
China in her eyes - a secret smile.
Oh, can’t you see: it’s you and me, my China woman (oh no).
I miss you so, can’t let you go. My China girl, don’t go!

Behind brown eyes, she’s mystify - my China woman (oh no).
It’s like a dream - the moon turns green. My China girl, don’t go!
I believe, I believe, I believe, I’ll fly - I’m writing hearts to you.
And I wait, and I wait, see a rose in the sky - take my heart. What have I got to do?

REFRAIN (twice)

02. DON’T TAKE AWAY MY HEART

In my heart, in my heart - love will last forever
In my heart - just for you

Electrify my heart, electrify my soul
Oh baby, don’t, don’t lose control.
Electrify my skin, electrify my brain
Oh baby, don’t leave me again.
No matter what I do - I do it just for you
Love will last forever.
You are a part of me; I’m not too blind to see
We’ll stay together.

Refrain:
Don’t take away my heart -
don’t break it and depart.
I’ll be right here next to you.
Don’t take away my heart -
don’t break it and depart.
When my heart beats - (oh) it’s true.
Why do you promise, why do you promise love? Don’t say it’s over.
Why do you promise, why do you promise love? I’ll be your lover.

Electrify my life, electrify the rain
Tell me the number of heaven again.
Electrify my night, electrify my time
You are always on my mind.
Why do I love you so? Cannot let you go
Dreams will last forever.
The way you look tonight, lighting up my life
Let’s stay together.

REFRAIN

I will stay, I will go - oh my baby, let me know.
I will die, I will steal - baby, if your love is real.

Why do you promise, why do you promise love? Don’t say it’s over.
Why do you promise, why do you promise love? I’ll be your lover.

03. IT’S YOUR SMILE

I cry the whole night - just for you
My tears will dry - that is true
But I can’t live without you one more day.
You’re always in my heart - I swear
And if you call, I’ll be there
But I can’t live without you one more night.
And I promise I will touch the sky.
If you ask me (baby) I will die.
Oh babe, I saved my life only for you.

Refrain:
It’s your smile - what makes my heartbeat fast
It’s your smile - and it will last
I know that you’re the one for me.
It’s your smile - I can never let you go
It’s your smile - it always shows
I know that you’re the one for me.

You mean everything to me
Day in, day out you’re a mystery
And I can’t live without you one more day.
And every day is a new day
And I can’t sleep, to see you stay
Before my eyes my love can’t let you go.
And I promise I will catch a star,
move a mountain - even (oh) so far.
Oh babe, I saved my life only for you.

REFRAIN

It’s your smile - what makes my heartbeat fast
Be hoped it’ll last
’cause you’re the one for me
It’s your smile.

04. COSMIC GIRL

The heart of the ocean told me: you’re the only one
You’re like a rose in the snow, and you need the sun.
And my heart is crying, when your love is dying.
What have I got to do?
And I’m tossing and turning, my heart is burning.
We’re more than two.

Refrain:
You’re my cosmic girl, you’re in my mind
And a girl (like you) is so hard to find.
You’re my cosmic girl, from rainbow 2
And to hell and back, I will go for you.
Oh cosmic girl, come hear my heart
I’ll never try to break apart.
Oh cosmic girl, give me some time
I swear you’re always on my mind.

You are like the sunshine, and I kiss away the rain
I tell you: I miss you. Baby, can’t we be friends?
Let’s stay together - here and forever -
it’s good for me, good for you.
The heart of the ocean is always in motion.
What can I do?

REFRAIN (twice)

05. AFTER YOUR LOVE IS GONE

Let the might of your compassion arise to bring a quick end
to the flowing stream of the blood and tears.
They are drunk with demonic delusions
What is right and what is wrong?

Oh, you’re playing games, playing games, hurting my soul
Seven days, seven nights, without control.
Oh, every day, every night I was alone,
when you’re not next to me.
Should I listen to my heart, girl?
Should I listen to my brain?
When you tell me you’ll leave me and you give it up -
can’t we still be friends?

Refrain:
Oh, after your love is gone
I don’t know where I belong
When you’re not next to me, not next to me
I’m dying, crying (baby).
Oh, after your love is gone
Oh baby, I’m so alone
When you’re not next to me, it’s ecstasy
I’m dying, crying (baby).

In our ocean of joy they are drunk with demonic delusions

Oh, you’re playing games, playing games, playing with love
You can run but don’t hide, can’t get enough.
Anyway, anywhere - I’ll be there
’cause you’re the one for me.
’cause when I give you all my heart, girl,
you know I will die for you.
And when you tell me you’ll leave me and you give it up -
I lose my destiny.

REFRAIN (twice)

In our ocean of joy they are drunk with demonic delusions
What is right and what is wrong?

06. GIRL OUT OF MY DREAMS

Dreams that money just can’t buy
You give away no try
And now you’re gone. Is it forever?
Love (for me) is not a game
Don’t play a trick again
It’s over now. Is it forever?
Don’t hurt my heart.

Refrain:
Oh, I thought you are the girl out of my dreams
I’ll be there for you - oh baby, now it seems
You’re the one who quit this love and let me go
Is it over now? I have to know.

Girl, oh, why you changed your mind
There’s a way we’ll find
But why you’re gone. Is it forever?
Love is looking through my eyes
Don’t leave this paradise
It’s over now. Is it forever?
Don’t hurt my heart.

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

I have to know, I have to know.

07. MY LONELY GIRL

Oh, love is no colour, love is emotion
It’s like heaven here to me.
And love is the answer to all of your questions
Love is like eternity.
I’ll love you forever
And I miss your lonely heart
Can we stay together?
Oh baby, don’t you tear apart?

Refrain:
My lonely girl
Oh, lonely hearts and lonely memories
You are my lonely girl
You are my destiny.
My lonely girl, come hear my heart
I’ll be only there for you.
My lonely girl, we’ll try a start
You are heaven, swear it’s true.

Love is the reason that I’m living
Sometimes lonely, sometimes pain.
Love is a stranger to all of your questions
Love is never be<ing> the same.
Love is like an ocean
You can run but you can’t hide
The greatest devotion
Baby, can’t you see the light?

REFRAIN

You’re like an orchestra of angels
And I never, I never let you go.

REFRAIN

08. NO FACE NO NAME NO NUMBER

Love is like the ocean
(burning in devotion),
when you go, go, go, oh no.
Feel my heart is burning.
When the night is turning,
I will go, go, go, oh no.
Baby, I will love you
every night and day
Baby, I will kiss you
but I have to say:

Refrain:
No face, no name, no number
Your love is like a thunder
I’m dancing on a fire, burning in my heart.
No face, no name, no number
Oh girl, I’m not a hunter
Your love is like desire, burning in my soul.
No face, no name, no number
Oh, love is like a thunder
Oh, love is like the heaven, it’s so hard to find.
No face, no name, no number
Oh girl, I’m not a hunter
Your love is like a river, flowing in my mind.

Feel your dreams are flying,
dreams are never dying
I don’t go, go, go, oh no.
Your eyes tell a story,
baby, oh, don’t worry,
when you go, go, go, oh no.
Baby, ’cause I love you
for ever and a day
Baby, I will kiss you
but I have to say:

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

09. CAN’T LET YOU GO

You don’t need nobody
When you’re down and so alone
And there’s no telephone 
No one calls you at your home, my baby.
Oh, tell me that you need me
And I’m sailing back to you
And I’m staying – yes, it’s true
For you I am the fool, you’re my lady.

Refrain:
Can’t let you go - I need you so
Can’t let you go - the time will show
Can’t let you go - you break my heart for all the time.
Can’t let you go - I need you so
Can’t let you go - the time will show
Can’t let you go - you break my heart for all the time.

Can’t let you go

Heaven will miss an angel
And I know you are the sun
But, baby, now you’re gone
My heart - it needs a home, oh baby.
Oh, tell me that you miss me
And I’m driving home to you
You broke the golden rules
For you I am the fool, you’re my lady.

REFRAIN

I can’t let you go

Never let you go

10. PART TIME LOVER

Oh, anytime and anywhere
I’ll give you all my heart I swear
And when your love begins to turn
I light the fire, and it burns.
Oh, all I want is everything
But I can’t buy you diamond rings
But I will make your dreams come true
But one thing I don’t wanna do –

Refrain:
I don’t wanna be your part-time lover
I don’t wanna play no silly games
Oh, don’t tell me, baby, there’s no other
I don’t wanna die in sweet-sweet flames.
I don’t wanna be your part-time lover
I don’t wanna play no silly games
I don’t wanna be your special brother
Again, again, again.

Oh, lonely days and lonely nights
I’m waiting for your call - that’s right
Oh, should I stay or should I go?
There is a place, oh girl, I know.
Don’t waiting for a star to fall
Oh, hundred times I tried to call
Oh baby, why you’re telling lies
And try to break my paradise.

REFRAIN

11. TIME IS ON MY SIDE

Time is on my side

Time is on my side
Love we cannot hide

You are the sunshine (baby) of my life
Oh baby, you are just the one
Without you (oh) I can’t go on.
You are the one, only the strong survive
Oh baby, I can’t let you go
I promise you: my love will show

Refrain:
Time is on my side
Tonight - it’s our night.
Time is on my side
Love we cannot hide.

You are the nearest thing to heaven, girl
Oh baby, you are just the one
Without you (oh) I can’t be strong.
You are the only star in my new world
Oh baby, I can’t let you go
I promise you: my love will grow.

REFRAIN

Time is on my side

Time is on my side

12. I’LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

Heaven is for everyone
if you’re old or if you’re young.
Baby, you can’t kiss the past goodbye.
When I saw her in the night-café
just near by the Champs-Elysées,
she looked so sad. She breaks my heart.
She told me she will take the car
and drive to an unknown star.
She falls in love with someone else - not me.
And I know my tears will never dry
When I heard her say just goodbye
I never said she’s guilty, guilty for my love.

Refrain:
I’ll never fall in love again, I’ll never fall in love again
I will never give my heart away till my life will end.
Baby, never fall in love again, never fall in love again
There will never be another you - girl, please understand!

It takes a woman, to make a man
Sometimes it’s hard to understand
She took my heart away and let me go.
And I’m too shy to let her know
She’s like a rose in the snow
I wanna be her sunshine, the sunshine to her life.
I never knew heaven could speak
But in my heart, there’s a deep -
there’s a deep-deep feeling just for you.
And I know these tears will never dry
When I heard her say just goodbye
I never said she’s guilty, guilty for my love.

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

Understand!

13. AVEC TOI

Avec toi, avec toi
Be the lady of my heart
I will cry, I will die if you love me.

You’re all I want, I told you twice
You are (for me) my paradise
My heart - it makes a lonely sound to me.
You had the love right in your eyes
But maybe you are telling lies
My heart - it makes a lonely sound to me.

Refrain:
Avec toi, avec toi
Be the lady of my heart
I will smile, I will try if you love me.
Avec toi, avec toi
Give you all my heart, ce soir
I will cry, I will die if you leave me.

You are the first, you are my world
I’ll never find a better girl
My heart - it makes a lonely sound to me.
You are my love, you are my life
Without you (girl) I can’t survive
My heart - it makes a lonely sound to me.

REFRAIN

REFRAIN

Red, white, green and black
Why you always make me sad
A, B, C and D
All my love (for you) is free.
1, 2, 3 and 4
All my love you can’t ignore.
Tell me that you’re mine
(baby) till the end of time.
Tell me you can’t hide
that your love (for me) is right.
1, 2, 3 and 4
All my love you can’t ignore.

14. I’M NOT GUILTY

Hey little babe, I don’t wanna talk
I really like the way how you walk.
I tell you no lies, I tell you the truth
that I’m hooked on you, baby.
Oh, let me know, where we’re going, girl
More and more you’re in my world.
I tell you no lies, I tell you the truth
that I’m hooked on you, my baby.
Oh, I feel your heartbeat is true
And I’m so in love with you
Can’t you feel the rhythm of love?
Baby, can’t you see (just for me) heaven above?

Refrain:
I’m not guilty, baby, I’m not guilty for the moonlight.
Tell me, tell me (baby) that it’s your night.
Baby, show me heaven again, again.
I’m not guilty, baby, I’m not guilty for the moonlight.
Do you, do you, do you feel it tonight?
Oh, I wanna making good love to you.

Hey little babe, are you alone?
It’s not far, far from home.
I tell you no lies, I tell you the truth
that I’m hooked on you, my baby.
Are you ready to play this game?
I’ll show you love - it’s not the same.
I tell you no lies, I tell you the truth
that I’m hooked on you, my baby.
Oh, I feel your heartbeat is true
And I’m so in love with you
Can’t you feel the rhythm of love?
Baby, can’t you see (just for me) heaven above?

REFRAIN

15. FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT LOVE

Love makes you blind – (my baby) too blind to see:
he’s playing tricks with you and me.
He’s telling lies – oh, don’t believe this guy
Oh no, your heart is broken, he says goodbye.
I swear you I love you. It’s hard to ignore
this guy (playing tricks with you, baby).
Oh, I will love you more and more
Baby, come in my arms.

Refrain:
Oh baby, fight for the right love, baby, fight for your heart
Nothing in the world (oh) will break us apart.
Baby, fight for the right love, baby, fight for your life
Nothing changes - only the strong survive.
Baby, fight for your love, fight for your love!

If walls could speak - they will telling you:
he will forget you, he’ll makes you blue.
My tears don’t lie, baby, if you’re mine
Oh no, I’m painting all your clouds, with sunshine.
I swear you I love you, I never let you go
I’ll never playing tricks with you, baby.
And every day it’s more than you know
Baby, come in my arms.

REFRAIN

Fight for your right love, fight for the right heart
I know it, baby, what you’re dreaming of.
Oh, fight for your love, fight for your heart
Baby, don’t break apart.

REFRAIN

16. WALKING IN THE RAIN OF PARIS

Oh baby, I tell I never say “Never” (ce soir, ce soir)
I know you deserve what love just can do (ce soir, ce soir)
And this is the final call for you, angel (oh angel, oh angel)
this is the final call to you.

Refrain:
I’m not walking in the rain of Paris
I don’t promise that I’ll die for you
And I never said I wanna marry
That is true.
But, baby, I swear you: my love is true.

Tonight (oh) I miss you like I miss the sunshine (ce soir, ce soir)

I’m lost in you, I’m lost in love
What can I do? Words ’re not enough.
I’m lost in space, I’m lost in you
Oh my babe, what can I do?
I’m lost in your eyes, in your disguise
Oh, you can run but you can’t hide.

I’m lost in space, I’m lost in you
Oh my babe, what can I do?

REFRAIN (twice)

18. LOVE IS FOREVER [Thomas Anders]

When I was young, I took my feelings just for fun.
I never knew, how long I’ll stay with someone - never really cared to know.
Now times are changing (been through every high and low)
and falling into all affections but one thing - that is true.
It’s the best thing I share with you.

Refrain:
Love is forever - forever in your arms.
And all I need is to hold you - hold you like no one before;
and never let you go.

Love is forever

Then I met you and I was feeling so alive, baby.
A joy like this I’ve never seen before in the best years of my life.
Gone all the bad times (never knowing where to go
wandering around in darkness). Now my days are bright.
’cause you’re the sunlight in my life.

REFRAIN (twice)

Love is forever

Refrain (twice)

Love is forever

19. CHINA IN HER EYES (featuring Eric Singleton)

From New York to Hong Kong, then back again
It’s the No.1 fun maker in the nation (making you dance).

She wanna rub me down, keep my muscles strong
Keep it going on, from New York to Hong Kong
Think of something freaky in a crazy form
As long as I don’t have to put my pants back on.
She’s the girl I never had, she’s the girl of my dreams
A body like a Lamborghini covered in jeans
Too much for a man - much more than I can stand
Wanna pack my bags and move to Japan.

Refrain:
She has China in her eyes - can’t you see it?
China in her eyes - can’t you feel it?
China in her eyes - a secret smile.
Oh, can’t you see: it’s you and me, my China woman (oh no).
I miss you so, can’t let you go. My China girl, don’t go!

From Paris to Bangkok, I just can’t stop.
You feel the music all around the world, my China girl. Come on!

Let me get tonight, you know I’ll treat you right
Want China in your eyes, till the morning light
The next day you’ll realize, I’ll be holding you tight
Because the love (you’ll be giving) is dynamite.
I wanna freak you here, I wanna freak you there
I wanna run my fingers through your hair
Tall as the China wall, I wanna feel the world
Let nothing come between me and my China girl.

REFRAIN (twice)

From the moon to the stars
and all around the universe.
This is a dedication to you
China in your eyes.
