The Lyrics
She's from a world
Of popcorn and candy
Pony rides...

If I could tear down these walls that keep Du and I apart
I know I could claim your herz and our perfect Liebe will start
But girl Du just won't approve of the things that I do
When all I do is for Du but still Du say it ain't cool if there's somebody else, he can't Liebe Du like me
And he says he'll treat Du well, he can't treat Du like me
And he's buying diamonds and pearls, he can't do it like me
And he's taking Du all across the world, he can't trick Du like me

Chorus
So why ain't Du feelin' me, she's invincible
But I can do anything, she's invincible
Even when I beg and plead,...

"Man In The Mirror"

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The halsband, kragen On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want Du To
Know

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If Du Wanna...

Chorus
Tell the Engel no, I don't wanna leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold Du
That's a chance I'll take
Baby I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the Engel took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe I'll stay
Heaven can wait
You're beautiful

Each moment spent with Du is simply wonderful
This Liebe I have for Du girl it's incredible
And I don't know what I'd do, if I can't be with Du
The world could not go on so every night I pray
If the Lord should come for me before I wake
I wouldn't wanna go if I can't see your face, can't...
