host
Markus Kiener 1960 (Regensdorf)
I thought she was my woman
I thought she was my lover
when I realized what she needed most
our relationship ended, we parted friends
I didn’t mean to become her host
I thought she was my woman
I thought she was my lover
when I realized what she wanted most
our partnership ended, we parted friends
I didn’t mean to become her host
I have been host once, I have been host twice
I don’t want to be host one more time
when I can’t know true love, when I can’t feel strong affection
no love and affection shall ever be part of my life
I thought she was my woman
I thought she was my lover
when I realized what she loved most
our partnership ended, we parted friends
I didn’t mean to become her host
