Jeanny, komm, come on
Jeanny, come on, come on
Steh auf - bitte, du wirst ganz naß
Get up - please, you'll get all wet
Schon spät, komm - wir müssen weg hier,
It's getting late, come on - we have to leave here
Raus aus dem Wald, verstehst du nicht?
Out of the woods, can't you understand?
Wo ist dein Schuh, du hast ihn verloren,
Where is your shoe, you lost it
Als ich dir den Weg zeigen mußte
When I had to show you the way
Wer hat verloren? Du dich?
Who has lost? You, yourself?
Ich mich? Oder, oder wir uns?
Me, myself? Or, or both of us?
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night, don't wanna struggle and fight
There's someone, who needs you! Oh babe.
Es ist kalt, wir müssen weg hier, komm
It's cold, we gotta get out of here, come
Dein Lippenstift ist verwischt
Your lipstick is smudged
Du hast ihn gekauft und ich habe es gesehen
You bought it and I saw it
Zuviel rot auf deinen Lippen und du hast gesagt:
Too much red on your lips and you said:
"Mach mich nicht an"
Don't turn me on
Aber du warst durchschaut, Augen sagen mehr als Worte
But you were seen through, eyes say more than words
Du brauchst mich doch, hmh?
You need me, right?
Alle wissen, daß wir zusammen sind ab heute
Everyone knows we're together from today on
Jetzt hör ich sie! Sie kommen
Now I hear them! They're coming
Sie kommen, dich zu holen
They're coming to take you away
Sie werden dich nicht finden
They won't find you
Niemand wird dich finden, du bist bei mir!
No one will find you, you're with me!
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night, don't wanna struggle and fight
There's someone, who needs you

Jeanny!...
Looks now there's someone who still needs you
It seems like there's still someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, stop living in dreams
Jeanny! Jeanny! Jeanny!
You're lost in the night, don't wanna struggle and fight
Looks now there's someone who still needs you
It seems like there's still someone who needs you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams

Jeanny, stop living in dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Jeanny, life isn't what it appears
You're lost in the night, don't wanna struggle and fight
You're wandering in the night, no wish to struggle or fight
There's someone, who needs you
There's someone out there, who longs for you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, stop living in dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Jeanny, life isn't what it appears
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
There's someone out there who longs for you
Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, stop living in dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Jeanny, life isn't what it appears
You're lost in the night, don't wanna struggle and fight
There's someone, who needs you
