Hey, hey, hey
Chained together from day one
I never had a choice
Your impulsive nature
Sometimes joy, sometimes pain
You present yourself so effortlessly
Then again, so complicated
And no matter how often I believe it
I will never fully understand you
Hey, hey, hey
And no matter how you were, without you I would be nothing
Hey, hey, hey
And no matter how you are, you remain the greatest for me
Hey, hey, hey
And no matter how you become, you know I follow you blindly
Because what remains for me, is you and me
Without you, I am nothing
Hey, hey, hey (Without you, I am nothing)
Fat Bread and Joris, ah ah
Respect to you, my friend
Because most of the time, you are really very nice
Only on bad days do you send me to bed without dinner
And when I think, now I finally got you
You come right back around the corner with a surprise effect (boom)
I guess it all belongs, ups and downs
And we jump through the hall (just normal)
People drink, I pay, everyone grins, everything shines
And now sing it once more
Because it sounds so brilliant (Hey, hey, hey)
The whole place
And no matter how you were
Without you, I would be nothing
Hey, hey, hey
And no matter how you are, you remain the greatest for me
Hey, hey, hey
And no matter how you become, you know I follow you blindly
Because what remains for me, is you and me
Without you, I am nothing
Hey, hey, hey
Far too rarely really with you
I walk the paths too often alone
I suspect my happiness is in the distance
But I never really catch up
You are so immeasurably valuable
Only realize it when someone loses you
You are so often good to me
But life, how am I to you?
Hey, hey, hey
Life, how am I to you?
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
And no matter how you were
Without you, I would be nothing
Hey, hey, hey
And no matter how you are, you remain the greatest for me
Hey, hey, hey
And no matter how you become, you know I follow you blindly
Because what remains for me, is you and me
Without you, I am nothing
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
