TV MAKES THE SUPERSTAR
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

You take your chance to be the one
And anything is possible if you are strong (oh yeah)
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
But you feel it in your heart, you can't go wrong
You are so nervous just every single day
Hear a voice from heaven, you'll find your way

TV makes it - TV even breaks it
TV makes the superstar wherever you are (oh yeah)
TV makes it - TV even breaks it
TV makes the superstar - sometimes it's so hard

TV makes the star, makes the superstar - Shows you a crazy life
TV takes you high, it takes you low - Will your heart survive
TV makes the star, a superstar - And it makes your dream come true
TV makes you laugh, it makes you cry - Do it just for you

Don't be so sad, you're not the one
There's another chance for you, keep holding on (oh yeah)
Just take your time and you will see
You can win it if you want just like me
You need something to live for every single day
I keep my fingers crossed you'll find your way (oh yeah)

  I'M NO ROCKEFELLER
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

I saw her eyes - like rain in may
A Paris-night, Champs-Elysee
A flickering-light - an old cafe
Oh, should I run away
A one night stand, a small hotel
She broke my heart, heaven and hell
I was so wrong, she knew it all
Now I'm waiting for her call

Baby, I'm not Rockefeller
I'm not fortune teller
I don't promise you my heart
Baby, I'm not Rockefeller
Baby but I'll tell ya
We can try a brand new start
Oh, I swear to you (I swear to you)
I'll never make you blue (I make you blue)
You are always in my heart for sure

I took he plane to JFK
An endless flight, I have to say
I missed that girl, more than my life
Will this love survive
Back to the plane, to Charles de Gaulle
She was my heart, she was my soul
I know for sure, she's good to me
The rest is history

MYSTERY
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

She was the sister of Margarita
It was long long ago
And I told her that I need her
So much she wouldn't know
And her brother was Juanito
He was a friend of mine
And I told him that I missed her
But she has no time
And I said: Ma-Marie-amore
You're the girl I adore

Love is a Mystery
With an L and an O and a V and an E
It's like history
With an L and an O and a V and an E
It's ending on the floor in the heat of the night
With the hands in the air and I hold her tight
And the L and the O and the V and the E
I know this girl is a mystery

I drank a lot of cool tequilas
Should I go or should I stay
My heart told me I need her
But I'm too shy to say
I drank a lot of Caipirinhas
I was walking like on air
And I told her that I love her
Baby oh I swear
I said: Marie-Marie-amore
You're the girl I adore

  EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

Tell me, is this love, a burning fire
That's burnig fast but then it's gone away
Oh, tell me baby, do you feel desire
I'll give you everything I'm too shy to say
I don't wanna lose you girl - I won't let you go
Oh, I don't wanna lose you girl - My love will show

Oh, everybody needs somebody, baby
Everybody needs someone to love
Anytime I see you I get crazy
Anytime I kiss you, can't get enough
Oh, you, you are a symphony
Oh, you, you are my destiny, girl
You, you are the Venus of my heart

Tell me babe, do you find another
Another man who's breaking your heart
Oh, tell me baby, is he your new lover
And you will say, love will break apart
Oh, this is now the end of love - I won't let you go
Oh, why'd you break this lonely heart - Say it isn't so

HEART OF AN ANGEL
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

She's cryin a river - she helps everyone
There is so much sorrow - she has to be strong
She needs all her power - for helping the poor
Showing heaven to you
There's something to live for - Oh, what makes you glad
Oh, she can't see it, if people are sad
A new star in heaven - she helps everyday
Hope she lives forever and a day

She has a heart, heart of an angel
She has a heart, heart of gold
It is more and more than a lonely heart can hold
She has a heart, heart of an angel
She lives thousand lifes in one
She is the queen of hearts, for her I sing this song
Heart of an angel

She gives everything - she helps everyone
Sometimes it's easier, oh, said than done
She wears love like heaven and she knows no fear
She lives between a laugh and a tear

  WHO WILL BE THERE ?
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

The rain is getting stronger - I listen to the rain
And I can't wait no longer - Oh, please, come back again
If I could live forever - Baby I will live with you
If we can't be together - Baby, I will die, it's true

Who will be there - when the lights go out
Who will be there - my heart cries loud
Baby I swear, that I'll be there - If you need me
Who will be there - when I'm alone
Who will be there - where is my home
Who will be there - it's so unfair - Stay by my side

The summer was oh magic - Oh, baby just we two
Now times are getting tragic - And lonely without you
Oh, when my heart is crying - Baby, oh, it cries for you
And if our love is dying - Baby I will die, it's true

KNOCKING ON MY DOOR
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

Oh, baby when I see your eyes
I feel like I'm in paradise
My heart is beating just for you
Don't play games with me
Tomorrow there's another day
I'm begging you, oh, baby, stay
You said to me you had to go
But I really know
You said to me the time will show
But I really know

One day you're knocking on my door
And you wanna come in
All I wanna do is just everything
Save a little room in your lonely heart
I promised - you will be my baby
Oh, tell me, you'll never make me lonely
'Cause you're the one and only, girl for me

Nobody knows the way I feel
I promised you my love is real
It's larger than the universe
I promised from my heart
Together till the end of time
Oh, baby you're always on my mind
You said to me you have to go
But I really know
You said to me the time will show
But I really know

  SHOULD I, WOULD I, COULD I
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

Oh, you are lying, you said it was forever, baby
Now see me crying, why can't we be together, lady
Your lips say hello, but they mean goodbye tomorrow
Don't tell me girl, you're running back to him

Baby, should I, would I, could I
Listen to your lying heart
Baby, Baby, should I, would I, could I
Promise you a brand new start
Baby, baby, should I, would I, could I
Open up my heart tonight
Baby, baby, should I, would I, could I
Don't know if it's right

I remember, you said love ain't like fashion, baby
The last december - your love was full of passion, lady
You know it all, you promised me a perfect heaven
Don't tell me girl, you're running back to him

BLACKBIRD
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

Just tomorrow there's another day
Another way in your life
It's not easy, oh, it's not easy to say
If our dreams will survive
I know I can't ignore it - It's the end of our love
I know the time will show it - to my heart

Blackbird don't fly away - See you in heaven
Miss you more and more each day - It's five to seven
Spread your wings, don't fly away - Blackbird don't fly away
Blackbird don't fly away - Blackbird don't fly away

Remember when you said to me
I'm blind to see our love
I remember you were my destiny
Tell me why you break my heart
Yesterday is gone forever - Every day is a new day
I swear I'll love you forever - and I say

  LIFE IS TOO SHORT
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

Life is too short - don't throw it away
Hear what I say - if you're lonely
Stand up - if you fall down
Please look around - you're not the only
Life is too short - don't lose your time
The sun will shine - for your tomorrows
You'll win - if you don't lose
Try it again - forget your sorrows

There is a chance - make the best out of your life
But it's so tough - only the strong they will survive
There are always some good reasons to live for
Between the shadow there's a light you can't ignore
Don't cry a little little - cry a little little tonight
Life is too short - Don't throw it away
Hear what I say - if you're lonely
Stand up - if you fall down
Please look around - you're not the only
Baby, baby, Life is just too short - you can't run away
Baby, let me be your soul survivor
Life is just too short - baby, everyday
Baby, I will lift you - high and higher

Nowhere to go - you're always in my heart I swear
Baby, I know if you need me I'll be there
I will never ever leave you alone, oh no
And we have so many reasons to go, oh no
Don't cry a little little - cry a little little tonight

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

Like an angel you came in my life
I'm walking on cloud number nine
This may not be the star of the world
Is your heart really mine?
When will I see you again?
When will this sad moment end?

Nothing but the truth (nothing but the truth)
Nothing but my heart (nothing but my heart)
Nothing changed this love, oh, it's forever
I will never tear apart
Nothing but the truth (nothing but the truth)
Nothing but my heart (nothing but my heart)
Nothing takes the place of you, my love

Like a stranger you're sometimes to me
But whatever will be, will be
One step from heaven, oh, don't stop this love
I know you're my destiny
When will I see you again?
When will this sad moment end?

  SUPERSTAR
[Music and Lyrics: Dieter Bohlen]

I have the feeling that you are the one
You're really special, you can't go wrong
You have to work but you'll reach your aim
I see your power, try it again
It's such a long way, you know it all
I know the eyes of the winner
You will stand up if you will fall
You are the greatest singer

You are my hero - My superstar from zero
You are to me a superstar tonight
You are a winner - You'll never be a sinner
Oh, baby, you will always do it right
Oh, you're to me a superstar
No matter if your dream is far
Oh, you're to me a hero now
You'll reach the top just anyhow

You cannot win if you don't take this chance
I swear you'll feel it's like a romance
Sometimes it's hard but please don't give up
It's not so easy, climb to the top
I tell you only the strong will survive
Oh, you are playing with fire
It is the greatest chance of your life
So you feel the desire
