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
Muss i denn, muss i denn
(Must I then, must I then)
Zum Stadtele hinaus
(Leave this little town)
Stadtele hinaus
(Leave this little town)
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?
(And you, my love, stay here?)
Muss i denn, muss i denn
(Must I then, must I then)
Zum Stadtele hinaus
(Leave this little town)
Stadtele hinaus
(Leave this little town)
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?
(And you, my love, stay here?)
There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Sei mir gut; sei mir gut
(Be good to me; be good to me)
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
(Be to me like you really should)
Wie du wirklich sollst
(Like you really should)
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
