Dear poor boy & Playing this song together

Helmut Köllen


Part I

You think you can do everything
You think you're really great
You never fail, you're never wrong
You're never even late

Yes, you're really talented but still you have to know
That if you work like this my friend
You're gonna lose this show

You did a lot of good that's true
But don't you understand
That even in this business you will sometimes need a friend

So listen to this carefully and think about my words
To be a real superstar needs more than just some fans

Part II

You were angry the first time you played that music
You felt hate and disgust when you wrote the words
Disappointed by people you thought you cared for
To get a 'No' from a friend
That's what really hurts

California sun was shining
But it didn't help that lonely feel
far away from good old Germany
Here we are and we're playing this song together
Reunited in music and in our minds
We don't know if this time it will last forever
But we're sure trying
Here we are and we're playing this song together
And what music unites man should not take apart

I've been thinking about all those wasted emotions
While I tried to find out what I was doing wrong
Well it seems pretty clear once you know what the point is
Where respect substitutes being hard and strong

California sun's still shining
But to reassure the way we feel
We went back to good old Germany
