Lyrics
Can't you see I love you Please don't break my heart in two That's not hard to do 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye Then I know that I would cry Maybe I would die 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
There's no strings upon this love of mine It was always you from the start
Treat me nice Treat me good Treat me like you really should 'Cause I'm not made of wood And I don't have a wooden heart
German
Muss i denn, muss i denn, Zum Stadtele hinaus Stadtele hinaus Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?
Sei mir gut Sei mir gut Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst Wie du wirklich sollst
Can't you see I love you Please don't break my heart in two That's not hard to do 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
And if you say goodbye Then I know that I would cry Maybe I would die 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
There's no strings upon this love of mine It was always you from the start
Treat me nice Treat me good Treat me like you really should 'Cause I'm not made of wood And I don't have a wooden heart
German
Muss i denn, muss i denn, Zum Stadtele hinaus Stadtele hinaus Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?
Sei mir gut Sei mir gut Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst Wie du wirklich sollst
