I’d leave, but, hey, hey, hey
I can't do it
I pick your glass up from the floor
I say
Sorry, man, I didn't see you
You say
It's okay, it’s nothing
And a thousand words in my head, but I say nothing
Your gaze holds me in chains as if I’m electrocuted
You lighten the tension with a smile
You take me by the hand
And walk to the bar
Come on, let’s go dancing
Tell me how your evening’s been so far
What you’ve been doing
And where you come from
Hey, do you want to see me again?
I’d love to see you again
Experience the night one more time
In Berlin, Berlin on the Spree
Babe, do you want to see me again?
Will you give me your number?
Let's hit the streets once more
In Berlin, Berlin on the Spree
As long as you’re here
We want to go together
Because I like you
Feels like being high on drugs
You say
That I turn your head
I say
It’s okay, it’s nothing
Even if there's a war outside
I have you
The lights come on, the last song’s playing
And it’s clear what’s about to happen
You take me by the hand
And walk to the bar
Come on, let’s go dancing
Tell me how your evening’s been so far
What you’ve been doing
And where you come from
Hey, do you want to see me again?
I’d love to see you again
Experience the night one more time
In Berlin, Berlin on the Spree
Babe, do you want to see me again?
Will you give me your number?
Let’s hit the streets once more
In Berlin, Berlin on the Spree
