Marlene Dietrich

All I do, is dine with'm
And split a pint of wine with'm
Respectable as can be…
Yet here's what they say to me…

You've got that look,
That look that leaves me weak
You with your eyes across the table technique

You've got that look,
That look between the lines
You with your let's get more than friendly designs

I should be brave and say, “Let's have no more of it”!
But oh what's the use when you know…I love it!

You'll only kill my will before I speak
So turn on that low left hook that look that leaves me weak

You've got that look,
That look that leaves me weak
You with your eyes across the table technique

You got that look,
That look between the lines
You with your let's get more than friendly designs

I should be brave and say, “Let's have no more of it”!
But oh what's the use when you know…I love it!

You'll only kill my will before I speak
So turn on that low left hook that look that leaves me weak!

Will ein Mann bei Frauen was erreichen,
Spricht er gleich von seinem Liebesschmerz.
Er schwort tausend Schwure, die sich gleichen,
Legt die Hand ins Feuer und aufs Herz.
Alle Frauen, die er je besessen,
Hat er nicht die Spur geliebt.
Alle fruheren Schwure sind vergessen,
Weil es im Moment ja plotzlich Dich nur gibt.

Ich mochte einmal einen Mann erleben,
Der nicht von Liebe spricht;
Der herzlos sagt: Willst Du mir geben,
Was ich verlange oder nicht?
- Und das mit lachelndem Gesicht.
Der mich wie jede Frau betrachtet
Und mich nur kuhl fragt: Also wann?
Und der mein “Nein” dann nicht beachtet.
Wo ist der Mann? Wo ist der Mann?

Neulich hat mich einer angesprochen,
Der sah aus, so wie es sich gehort.
Er war nicht von hier und sprach gebrochen;
Lachelnd habe ich ihn angehort.

Denn ich war gespannt; was wird er sagen?
Ein paar Worte kennt er nur.
Der kann mir doch nicht sein Herz antragen,
Doch auch er war nicht viel anders - keine Spur.

ch mochte einmal einen Mann erleben,
Der nicht von Liebe spricht;
Der einfach sagt: So bin ich eben.
Ich will Dich haben und mehr nicht.
- Und das mir mitten ins Gesicht.
Der mich wie jede Frau betrachtet
Und mich nur kuhl fragt: Also wann?
Und der mein “Nein” dann nicht beachtet.
Wo ist der Mann?

- Und das mir mitten ins Gesicht.

Ra-da -da -di -da

See what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I'm having the same.
Go see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And give them the poison they name.
And when I die, don't spend my money
On flowers and my picture in a frame.
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I sighed,
And tell them I cried,
And tell them I died of the same.

And when I die, don't buy a casket
Of silver with the candles all aflame
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have,

Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
I'm starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought the cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
All things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love

Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In the groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On the ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
Taking a chance on love

A man I know is falling for me
A man I know is acting like a fool
While I'll remain as cool to him as ice
This man I know keeps calling for me
This man I know is far too grand
Why can't he understand
He's so in losing dice

Such trying times
Such trying times
Why do we live in such exasperating times?

Such trying times
Such trying times
If only we could find a reason or the rhymes

This man I knew has given it up
This man I knew has waited far too long
And suddenly been strong enough
To break the tie

This man I knew is living it up
This man I knew has buried all his past
And found true love at last
But and I

I can't believe that you're not here with me
To have a laugh or share a tear with me
It's all so wrong it can't be right
It must have been something I dreamed last night

To never see your funny face again
To never thrill to your embrace again
Oh, it's so wrong it can't be right
It must have been something I dreamed last night

Those midnight suppers for two
Our silly duets at dawn
Those crazy moments with you
Don't tell me that they are gone

To never look into those eyes again
The sun might just as well not rise again
Oh no, no, no, it can't be right
It must have been something I dreamed last night

I've set the table and a plate for you
Making believe you will soon be here
I watched the dawn sit and wait for you
It's impossible, hard as I try to convince myself
We've said goodbye

To never look into those eyes again
The sun might just as well not rise again
Oh no, no, no, it can't be right
It must have been something I dreamed last night

Wie konnte mich ein Mann nur so berauschen?
Wie beging ich nur den Wahn,
meinen guten Peter einzutauschen,
der mir niemals was getan.
Weckte man ihn nachts aus seinem Bette
laut und roh per Telephon:
Peter, ich hab keine Zigaretten,
was sprach Peter: Bring sie schon.
Peter, Peter, komm zu mir zuruck
Peter, Peter, warst mein bestes Stuck
Peter, Peter, ich war so gemein
Spater, spater sieht man erst alles ein
Sprach man: Peter, ich hab dich betrogen,
sagte er: Wenn's dich nur freut.
Nie ist ein Gewitter aufgezogen,
er war zartlich jederzeit.
Und ganz ohne Grund ging ich zu anderen,
sagte Peter Adieu!
Geb ich mich nun jetzt an all die anderen,
tut mein Herz nach ihm so weh.
Peter, Peter ...

As I committed only the illusion
Peter my good exchange,
of what I never did.
It woke him from his bed at night
loud and crude by phone:
Peter, I'm no cigarettes,
what Peter said: Bring it already.
Peter, Peter, come back to me
Peter, Peter were, my best piece
Peter, Peter, I was so mean
Later, later you can see only one all
Spoke to Peter, I have deceived you,
He said: If it pleases you only.
Never had a storm is raised,
He was tender at any time.
And without reason I went to another,
Peter said good-bye!
I give myself now to all the others,
does my heart for him such pain.
