Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Oh babe, I just need you like never before
I just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Oh babe, I just need you like never before
I just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away
There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you
No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just want to be loved by you

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
To Me, this song is about loving somebody so bad that it's raving you mad. I'm never getting enough of this song.
I love this song! i think its pretty obvious what it's talking about... I think the scorps are the best band ever, with no exceptions. I mean how many other bands have been going for 46 years? Not very many! I can't believe that they did their farewell world tour!!! they can't retire!!! and what makes me so mad is the fact that i missed their concert when they came to vegas!!!! oh, that made me so mad!!! i still haven't gotten over it and that was over a year ago. anyway great song, never gets old. Scorpions have earned their place in history even if all the charts and everything won't say it. They are the BEST!!!
100 percent
It's either about loving them so much.. or just wanting them so darn much that it drives you wild. Either way Scorpions rock !!!
lagwagon's version is much better
@moped_711 listening to it rn and no tf it is not????????
One of Scorpions best songs, off of their best album. I love the dark atmosphere they had on their first few releases. As usual the song has awesome guitar work, and Klaus' heavily accented voice is at it's prime.
definitely an intense love song.when it comes on the radio the hair on my arms stand up and the volume goes way up. hard to say if it
s my favorite scorpions song as every time i hear another one of their hits i think that one is and so on . might just be that scorpions are the greatest rock nroll band that ever was.FRIGGIN AWESOME SONG!! I absolutly love the chorus, it seems like the whole song is just contributing to it like it kinda builds up and then just lets loose I absolutly love it, I friggin rock out during it.

this song rocks! its a kick ass song! first time i heard it i just loved the song, and i heard it on a steve austin cd he realesed with tunes he liked! some where real good! this was on that cd along with dokken and some other stuff! really kick ass song!
Like the rest of their work (perhaps even more so than the rest of their work), this song has incredible guitar work, and like Muzzy said, Klaus' voice is at his prime here.
I love how 90% of all Scorpion's songs sound the same. And most of them are awesome.
