Liebes Lied
Absolute Beginner
Love Song
You want a love song, you get a love song
A song that you love...
This is love at
first sight
Not even Drum'n'Bass can keep up with your heart tonight
You found your treasure without digging too deep
Ready to hold him tight and cuddle for hours, no sleep
Caught red-handed, you fish flopping on the line
Tonight you'll wait outside the record store, feeling fine
With a radio, just in case it comes back around
Spontaneous disinterest in all those other sounds
They all look the same and wear too much makeup
Choosing from 50 words to tell the same old breakup
With cosmetic surgery on digital consoles
Always getting style advice from the Poles
For you, there’s only one and no other
And if someone doesn’t think yours is the number one lover
You see red like Heinz and lock him away
Torture him with Simple Minds until he’s in dismay
Dangerous liaisons
But you’re not to blame, that’s how the song plays on
Your ears feel brand new, every single day
And you wonder, can you marry tracks in Denmark, hey?
Our beat went boom, and it zoomed away
You want a love song, you get a love song
A song that you love, so listen up, fall in love
If you’ve got nothing in life, it’s all ghetto
That means gross happiness and net frustration, yo
And a tear tattoo on your face, hey, it’s time for some tunes
'Cause then you dance and fly through the record store rooms
And if your girl’s gone, that means your ex
Reaching for the love song by the Beginners is your reflex
No more sides - just jumps on the track
It happens, stay chill, buy a new one, that’s a fact
And if your life sometimes looks dumb
Do like me, bring out my philosopher, come
Write a verse, then make it big
You’re crushing on me, my arrow hit the gig
Now you’re in a Beginner’s high, used to be drunk
On too many producers, no matter how they funk
Just thin tracks and raps and tears in your eyes
That’s why I rarely hit the tear button, no lies
While I practice standing tall in the charts
You want a love song, you get a love song
A song that you love, so listen up, fall in love.
