Verdammt, ich lieb dich English translation
von Matthias Reim

I wander through the streets until after midnight
I used to enjoy doing that too
I don’t need you for that
I sit at the bar, have another beer
We used to come here together often
It doesn’t bother me - it doesn’t bother me at all
Across from me sits a guy like a bear
I imagine if he were your new man
It doesn’t bother me at all
Suddenly, it hits me, I go up to him
And confront him: "Leave my wife alone"
He just asks: "Are you crazy?"
And I’m thinking about you again…


Damn - I love you -
I don’t love you
Damn - I need you -
I don’t need you
Damn - I want you -
I don’t want you
I don’t want to lose you
Damn - I love you

I don’t love you
Damn - I need you -
I don’t need you
Damn - I want you -
I don’t want you
I don’t want to lose you

Slowly, everything comes back to me
I just wanted a little more freedom
Now I have it - or not
I didn’t fit into your perfect world
But that and you are what I miss now
I just can’t believe it
Across from me is a phone -
It mocks me with laughter
But it doesn’t ring
Seven beers - smoked too much
That’s what a man needs
But no one, no one says: "Stop it"
And I’m thinking about you again…


Damn - I love you -...
