I'm in love with a German film star I once saw in a bar Sitting in a corner in imperfect clothes Trying not to pose For the cameras and the girls It's a glamorous world I'm in love with a German film star I once saw in a movie Playing the part of a real troublemaker But I didn't care It really moved me, it really moved me I'm in love with a German film star I once saw in a bar Sitting in a corner in imperfect clothes Trying not to pose For the cameras and the girls It's a glamorous world I'm in love with a German film star I once saw in a movie Playing the part of a real troublemaker But I didn't care It really moved me, it really moved me It really moved me, it really moved me I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love. I'm in love.
