Verdammt, ich lieb' Dich English translation
von Matthias Reim

I wander through the streets until midnight
I used to like doing that too
I don't need you for that
I sit at the bar, have another beer
We used to be here together often
That doesn't bother me - doesn't bother me at all
Across from me sits a guy like a bear
I imagine if that were your new guy
That doesn't bother me at all.
Suddenly it gets to me, I walk up to him
And accost him: "Leave my wife alone."
He's just asking: "Do you have a stitch?"
And I'm thinking of 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, I'm remembering everything again
I just wanted to be a little freer
Now I am - or not
I didn't fit into your perfect world
But that and you is what I miss so much now
I just can't believe it
Across the street stands a telephone -
It's constantly mocking me with scorn
It rings, but 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 -...
