If you were my girl
If you were my girl
Aching to see the sun again
Aching to see your eyes to see how they shine
They make this world a better place
Aching to see you smile again
Aching to hear you laugh and say I'm not dreaming
When you caress my hair
Your touch so warm and gentle baby
Then I can see true happiness at last
If you would be my girlfriend
Then I would be in heaven
Then I could do anything
I'd stand on my head and sing if you were my girl (girlfriend)
If you would be my girlfriend
Then I would be in heaven
Then I could do anything
I'd stand on my head and sing if you were my girl
(If you were my girl, If you were my girl)
I wish I could feel your lips right now
Wish I could let my hand
Glide through your hair
I wish I could softly hold your hand
I wish I could tell you every dream
I wish I could tell you everything that I feel
I wish I could tell you that
I need you here to kiss me baby
If only I could get my self to say
If you would be my girlfriend
Then I would be in heaven
Then I could do anything
I'd stand on my head and sing if you were my girl(girlfriend)
If you would be my girlfriend (my girlfriend)
Then I would be in heaven (heaven)
Then I could do anything
I'd stand on my head and sing if you were my girl
(If you were my girl, If you were my girl)
There are so many beautiful (so many girls) girls in the world
But there's only one girl that I want (So many girls)
And I've chosen today that I can't ever stay
Unless I can stay here with you
If you would be my girlfriend (Girlfriend)
Then I would be in heaven (In heaven, In heaven)
Then I could do anything
I'd stand on my head and sing if you were my girl (Girlfriend)
If you were my girl
If you would be my girlfriend
(If you were my girl, I'd give you the world)
Then I would be in heaven (Yeah, Ich lag am himmelblauen Swimmingpool
in meinem Liegestuhl in Kenia
als ich mit altbewährtem Kennerblick
ein Mädchen superchick im Wasser sah.
Ich mach' mich wie ein Tiger an sie ran
und frag' sie wo und wann und stell' mich vor.
Und eh' die rote Sonne untergeht
da flüstert sie mir schon ganz leis' ins Ohr:
Mr. Cannibal
küß mich noch einmal
Mr. Cannibal hunderttausendmal
Mr. Cannibal küß mich noch einmal
denn du bist mein Fall
Mr. Cannibal.
Ich ließ die Löwen und Safari's sein
und machte ganz allein nur Jagd auf sie.
Daß war der schönste Urlaub den es gab
nur sie fuhr auf mich ab
so wie noch nie.
Wir surften draußen am Wakourri-See
und fuhren mit dem Jeep ins weite Land.
Wir waren beide rettungslos verliebt
daß ich gleich jeden Blick von ihr verstand.
Mr. Cannibal ...
Als ich nach 14 Tagen Abschied nahm
bat ich in ihrem Arm: Vergiß mich nicht!
Sie aber lachte
du wirst nicht verstehn
es gibt ein Wiedersehn
vertrau' auf mich.
Kaum schließe ich daheim den Koffer auf
hol' die Klamotten raus
bin ich ganz weg.
Da hör' ich eine Stimme zuckersüß
die mich frohlocken lies
aus dem Gepäck.
Mr. Cannibal ...
Mr. Cannibal
küß' mich noch einmal
Mr. Cannibal
hunderttausendmal.
