Rocking Tom 64

Verse 1
I live in my world of broken dreams,
Where nothing now is as it seems.
I smile but deep inside I cry!
I’m a poor lonesome married guy.
Just ashes remain from the early fire,
Boring daily life and hidden desire.

Chorus
Only you could save me,
Take me out of this cage.
You are so incredibly free,
I would want to turn the page.
But another man’s with you,
No space for me, nothing to do!

Verse 2
You simply play any game you want,
No one controls you, and you haunt
Me with your pics hotter than hell.
I’m so lost and under your spell
You cold-shoulder me, just your business
Counts; I’m breaking down ill and in madness.

Chorus
Only you could save me,
Take me out of this cage.
You are so incredibly free,
I would want to turn the page.
But another man’s with you,
No space for me, nothing to do!

Verse 3
I deeply regret it, please believe,
But I will sadly have to leave.
I can’t stand suffering so much
Without the slightest chance to touch,
Witnessing your dared in-public strip
You are firing recklessly from the hip.

Chorus
Only you could save me,
Take me out of this cage.
You’re so incredibly free,
I would want to turn the page.
But another man’s with you,
No space for me, nothing to do!

Verse 1
We often travelled by train together
To our school; discussed whether
We should go to spend some evenings
In bars, restaurants, or meetings
With the other students we knew.
We firmly stood in each other’s shoe,
You told me your story, I told mine,
I adored to see your blue eyes shine.
Chorus
You’re not the love of my life,
You can’t because that’s my wife!
But I think you might have been,
Maybe you just should have seen
That I was ready to do
Everything for you,
If I was not such a waverer.
Verse 2
So it happened simply like it had to:
I deeply fell in love with you.
I tried to make you clearly see
That only you mattered to me.
However, you were not impressed!
You even told me I had messed
By turning our friendship into love.
You were not releasing a white dove.
Chorus
You’re not the love of my life,
You can’t because that’s my wife!
But I think you might have been,
Maybe you just should have seen
That I was ready to do
Everything for you,
If I was not such a waverer.
Verse 3
The friendship nevertheless continued,
Although I was really choked.
We were welcomed at a wedding,
As the man gave his bride the ring
You suddenly held my wet hand.
I was surprised and didn’t understand!
Then the opportunity was gone,
I had such a tough time holding on.
Chorus
You’re not the love of my life,
You can’t because that’s my wife!
But I think you might have been,
Maybe you just should have seen
That I was ready to do
Everything for you,
If I was not such a waverer.
Bridge
Fortunately I met my future wife thereafter,
Who allowed me well to overcome the disaster.
She taught me how to gain confidence.
We’re still together, and it makes sense.

Chorus
You’re not the love of my life,
You can’t because that’s my wife!
But I think you might have been,
Maybe you just should have seen
That I was ready to do
Everything for you,
If I was not such a waverer.

Verse 1
Curly red hair, light skin and clear blue eyes,
That’s all I need to feel like paradise
She is a lovely secretary,
Who I meet rather regularly.

Bridge 1
How can I tell her now,
How can I let her know,
About my total crush?
I am always in a rush,
And we never are alone.

Bridge 2
Would be too sad to miss this chance,
Give up right here after a glance.

Chorus 1
How I would love to hold her tight,
Have her always by my side,
Kiss her sweet lips, softly stroke her hair.
But it’s all in vain cause I don’t dare!
I’m here alone with my total crush.
Bridge 1’
How can I tell her now,
How can I let her know,
About my total crush?
I am always in a rush,
And we never are alone.

Verse 2
Yesterday I gave her my best smile,
Hoping to catch her attention for a while.
I saw her wedding ring just before
She turned and closed her office door.

Chorus 2
How I would love to hold her tight,
Have her always by my side,
Kiss her sweet lips, softly stroke her hair.
But it’s all in vain and luckily I didn’t dare!
I’m here alone with my total crush.

Chorus 2 (bis)

Post-Chorus 2
It is too sad to miss this chance,
Give up right here after a glance.

Verse 1
Do you remember that summer night
When we first met in a bar?
With you, it sounded directly right,
Must have been love at first sight!
But then, thunder rumbled from afar,
We took refuge in your car
Where we kissed until the morning light.

Bridge
When we had words, it was quickly done.
I always knew that you are the one.
So I was careful, tried not to hurt you,
And likewise you were cautious too.
That’s why we are together for so long!
We still stand as one, and it makes us strong.

Chorus
I love you so much baby,
Even after all these years.
You were and are my lady,
We share our joy and our tears.
Despite the call of fatal beauties,
I resisted, kept my promises.
There’s that thing I always knew:
After all it’s you.
After all it’s only you.

Verse 2
We decided to stay together.
Walking always side by side,
If sunshine, wind or rainy weather,
Embarked on this endeavor.
Still dream of you as my lovely bride.
Since then we took a long stride.
Now we hold on tight to our treasure.

Bridge
When we had words, it was quickly done.
I always knew that you are the one.
So I was careful, tried not to hurt you,
And likewise you were cautious too.
That’s why we are together for so long!
We still stand as one, and it makes us strong.

Chorus
I love you so much baby,
Even after all these years.
You were and are my lady,
We share our joy and our tears.
Despite the call of fatal beauties,
I resisted, kept my promises.
There’s that thing I always knew:
After all it’s you.
After all it’s only you.

Verse 1
We were both guests at a wedding.
I was in love with you for so long.
You treated me like a very good friend,
But nothing more and nothing else
Until the biggest mistake of my life.

Verse 2
You looked truly beautiful, more than the bride,
I was so proud to have you there by my side.
In the church I dreamt we were
In the place of the couple who married
The day of the biggest mistake of my life.

Verse 3
The wedding party took place in a park,
Birds voices, trees with initials in the bark.
All of a sudden you took my hands.
I held yours in turn but I was so surprised,
That I made the biggest mistake of my life.



Chorus
What should I have told you?
What should I have done?
Did you expect me to kiss you?
Did you want me to hug you?
Or to tell you how much I love you?
I didn’t know what to do or say,
Simply stood there like a dummy.
That was the biggest mistake of my life!

Verse 4
With just a few words, just one touch,
All my wishes would have come true!
Only one last step to your heart!
I didn’t take it, I was too stupid,
And made the biggest mistake of my life.

Verse 5
My breath went so fast and my legs were shaking,
You didn’t say anything, your look with no meaning.
After a while you released my hands.
I understood that I’d missed my chance,
Due to the biggest mistake of my life.

Chorus
What should I have told you?
What should I have done?
Did you expect me to kiss you?
Did you want me to hug you?
Or to tell you how much I love you?
I didn’t know what to do or say,
Simply stood there like a dummy.
That was the biggest mistake of my life!

Verse 6
My life is sad now and not at all colorful.
Our love instead would have been wonderful!
I still dream of you and cry in shame,
I ruined it all, no one else is to blame
But me and the biggest mistake of my life.

Chorus
What should I have told you?
What should I have done?
Did you expect me to kiss you?
Did you want me to hug you?
To tell you how much I love you?
I didn’t know what to do or say,
Simply stood there like a dummy.
That was the biggest mistake of my life!

Verse 1
We were in love by do or die,
Were unbeatable and not shy,
Made plans in the shade of the trees,
Dreams became true, we held the keys.
Sometimes tender, then sometimes wild,
You so beautiful and always styled.
We were young and we were crazy,
Had no fear of being lazy.

Verse 2
We promised each other so much,
But suddenly I felt out of touch.
You became a star, left me alone,
No reply anymore on the phone.
The guy we met at the party
Noticed you’re a real smartie.
He appreciated straight away
Your voice and skilled guitar play.

Bridge
I was so happy for you,
Was very proud too.
Now I regret it,
And I could spit.

Chorus
You're on top there in the spotlight,
Heating up the atmosphere tonight.
Thousands are raging in front of the stage,
They applaud loudly and there’s rampage.
You are their dreamgirl so
You steal all others the show.

Verse 3
Since then I am a stranger to you.
Didn’t you love me? I have no clue
Why you banished me from your life.
This cuts me as deep as a knife.
Think I’m not good enough anymore.
I’m all alone and my tears pour.
You’re famous and a star now.
To me you even didn’t say ciao!

Verse 4
You are also amazing on screen,
Just as a high society queen.
I miss you so much, I feel so blue

What the hell can I still do?
I will never forget,
That love we once had.
You obviously don’t care.
Bad feelings linger in the air.

Bridge
I was so happy for you,
Was very proud too.
Now I regret it,
And I could spit.

Chorus
You're on top there in the spotlight,
Heating up the atmosphere of the night.
Thousands are raging in front of the stage,
They applaud and there’s rampage.
You are their dreamgirl so
You steal all others the show.

Verse 1
I came home to my country a long time ago,
After years of studying and working abroad.
I considered myself as an expert and thought
I will now impress them with all that I know,
Was lucky and found a nice job in my field,
Ignored that I would need a very strong shield.
Pre-Chorus
What looked so attractive initially,
Quickly turned out to be a shark pool.
A basket of crabs, and progressively,
I think I became everybody’s fool.
Chorus
Before I knew it, I was hopelessly left to the sharks.
Most of them considered themselves as monarchs.
They put me aside on a dead end route,
Ruined my talents and rendered me mute.
They claimed that my output was much too low
To bring in enough money to finance their show.
Verse 2
Some were narcissists, some others carpetbaggers,
Some were true sadists, and some acted like tyrants.
They included me into a team of laggers,
Who were nipping in the bud all aspirants.
Then, they even cut my budget completely,
And they destroyed my self-confidence deeply.
Pre-Chorus
What looked so attractive initially,
Quickly turned out to be a shark pool.
A basket of crabs, and progressively,
I think I became everybody’s fool.
Chorus
Before I knew it, I was hopelessly left to the sharks.
Most of them considered themselves as monarchs.
They put me aside on a dead end route,
Reduced my talents and rendered me mute.
They claimed that my output was much too low
To bring in enough money to finance their show.
Verse 3
There was simply no choice, I decided to go,
After sacrificing twenty years of my life.
I didn’t anticipate many regrets and so
I resigned from the useless efforts to strive.
My boss organized a small party for me.
Upper sharks didn’t show up, unsurprisingly.
Pre-Chorus
What looked so attractive initially,
Quickly turned out to be a shark pool.
A basket of crabs, and progressively,
I think I became everybody’s fool.
Chorus
Before I knew it, I was hopelessly left to the sharks.
Most of them considered themselves as monarchs.
They put me aside on a dead end route,
Reduced my talents and rendered me mute.
They claimed that my output was much too low
To bring in enough money to finance their show.

Verse 1
Two guys and a girl are not a good trio.
The situation fast gets complicated.
She played with me and my new love’s glow.
She dated him but I just became hated.
We went on vacation all three because she wanted to have me,
Fearing that he would not travel alone with her to the sea.

Chorus
Now I know they are just some of these betrayers.
Of those disgusting trust and confidence slayers
Able to hide their faces for a certain time,
Sooner or later the truth steps in with dirt and grime
To cure us from our innocence and candidness,
And teach us about many people’s villainess.


Verse 2
We studied together for several years.
He always claimed he was my friend,
He never left me without a smiling Cheers.
I became very ill but I hoped to mend.
Spent two months in a clinic; he never showed up for a visit
When I needed him most, so I think this was quite explicit.

Chorus
Now I know that he’s just one of these betrayers.
Of those disgusting trust and confidence slayers.
Who are able to hide their faces for a certain time,
But sooner or later the truth steps in with dirt and grime
To cure us from our innocence and candidness,
And teach us about many people’s villainess.

Verse 3
We were close during our common college days.
At some stage, she mostly spent her time with me,
But she had other lovers, who stood in my ways.
I was just allowed to touch her knee.
I told her on a starry night I was desperately in love.
She said yes, you’re a good friend and for me that’s largely enough.

Chorus
Now I know that she’s just one of these betrayers.
Of those disgusting trust and confidence slayers.
Who are able to hide their faces for a certain time,
But sooner or later the truth steps in with dirt and grime
To cure us from our innocence and candidness,
And teach us about many people’s villainess.

Bridge
It’s not that easy to distinguish
Right from wrong,
Truth from falsehood,
Honesty from hypocrisy.
Whenever you’re deceived
It hurts but then at least,
Learn your lesson well!
Chorus
Now I know that they’re just some of these betrayers.
Of those disgusting trust and confidence slayers.
Who are able to hide their faces for a certain time.
Sooner or later the truth steps in with dirt and grime
To cure us from our innocence and candidness,
And teach us about many people’s villainess.
