Showdown Lyrics

Ja ich war heut Nacht nicht da
Das hast du gut erkannt
Denn das Feuer unserer Liebe
Ist schon lange abgebrannt
Es war so heiß und hungrig
Doch daß ist lange her
Und jetzt machen wir uns
Gegenseitig das Leben schwer
Ja ich war heut Nacht nicht da
Ich weiß es kotzt dich an
Hab ich dir jemals vorgelogen
Daß ich ohne dich nicht kann
Wir warn so wild und willig
Doch das liegt weit zurück
Du weißt doch daß ich recht
Hab also spar dir diesen Blick

Wach auf! Der letzte Akt beginnt
Jedes Kind weiß doch
Daß Mann und Frau
Nichts füreinander sind
Showdown
Meine Liebe muß wandern
Showdown
Von einem Herz zum andern

Ja ich weiß es war Mal anders
So zärtlich und charmant
Ich gebe zu ich hab den Bogen
Viel zu oft schon überspannt
Nichts ist mehr neu und spannend
Wir kennen uns zu gut
Wir leben mit dem Zustand
Daß sich bei uns nichts mehr tut
Ja ich war heut Nacht nicht da
Doch weg bin ich schon lang
Ich hab schon längst die Schnauze
Voll von diesem Leben voller zwang
Wir warten schon seit Jahren
Darauf daß nichts passiert
Wir wissen es doch beide
Daß es nicht mehr besser wird

Wach auf! Der letzte Akt beginnt
Jedes Kind weiß doch
Daß Mann und Frau
Nichts füreinander sind
Paß auf! Der letzte Vorhang fällt
Ich brauch dich nicht
Ich will dich nicht
Um alles auf der Welt
Showdown
Meine Liebe muß wandern
Showdown
Von einem Herz zum andern

Showdown
Der letzte Akt beginnt
Jedes Kind weiß doch
Daß Mann und Frau
Nichts füreinander sind
Showdown
Der letzte Vorhang fällt
Ich brauch dich nicht
Ich will dich nicht
Um alles auf der Welt
Showdown
Meine Liebe muß wandern
Showdown
Von einem Herz zum andern
Showdown
Meine Liebe muß wandern
Showdown
Von einem Herz zum andern

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Great song! heres the english trans for anyone whos interested:

Yes I was not there tonight You have well realized Because the fire of our love Is already long burned down It was so hot and hungry But that is long since And now we ourselves make Life mutually difficult Yes I was not there tonight I know it makes you sick Have I ever lied to you That I am not able to be without you We were so wild and willing But that was a long time ago* Still you know that I am right Therefore you can keep your (point of) view**

Wake up! The last act begins Any child would tell you** That man and woman (wife) Are nothing (not meant) for one another Showdown My love must wander Showdown From one heart to the next

Yes I know it was (a) different time So tender and charming I "admit" I have very Often already gone too far* Nothing more is new and exciting We know each other too well We live with the condition That to itself, nothing more "we" can do Yes I was not there tonight But I am already long gone For a long time, I have been fed up to the Back of the teeth with these constraints of life We already wait for years After that nothing passes But we both know it That it won't become any better

Wake up! The last act begins Any child would tell you That man and woman (wife) Are nothing (not meant) for one another Watch out! The final curtain falls I don't need you I don't want you In my life Showdown My love must wander Showdown From one heart to the next

Literally: lies far back Colloquial from, "den Bogen überspannen" (figurative) meaning: to go too far

Yes I was not there tonight
You have well realized
Because the fire of our love
Is already long burned down
It was so hot and hungry
But that is long since
And now we ourselves make
Life mutually difficult
Yes I was not there tonight
I know it makes you sick
Have I ever lied to you
That I am not able to be without you
We were so wild and willing

Yes I know it was (a) different time
So tender and charming
I "admit" I have very
Often already gone too far***
Nothing more is new and exciting
We know each other too well
We live with the condition
That to itself, nothing more "we" can do
Yes I was not there tonight
But I am already long gone
For a long time, I have been fed up to the
Back of the teeth** with these constraints of life
We already wait for years
After that nothing passes
But we both know it
That it won't become any better

Wake up! The last act begins
Any child would tell you**
That man and woman (wife)
Are nothing (not meant) for one another
Watch out! The final curtain falls
I don't need you
I don't want you
In my life**
Showdown
My love must wander
