About Schöner Fremder Mann

Schöner fremder Mann is the fourth German single recorded by U. S. entertainer Connie Francis. The song is the German cover version of Francis' U. S. recording Someone Else's Boy. Although the original version didn't chart, it became one of Francis' biggest international successes, and it is the only song in her repertoire she recorded in eight languages: English German French (as Celui que je veux) Italian (as Ti conquisterò) Spanish (as El novio de otra, a. k. a. Mi tonto amor) Portuguese (as Um amor so meu) Dutch (as Jij bent niet van mij) Japanese (as 夢のデイト - Yume no Deito). Schöner fremder Mann became Francis' biggest hit to date in West Germany, peaking at # 1. The B-side of the single was Funiculì, Funiculà, an Italian recording from her U. S. album More Italian Favorites. Schöner fremder Mann was Francis' last single in West Germany to feature a foreign language song on the B-side. All subsequent singles would feature German-language recordings on both sides.

Oh

Schöner fremder Mann
Du bist lieb zu mir
A'Schöner fremder Mann
Denn ich träum von Dir
Doch am Tag gehst Du
Mit einer anderen Frau vorbei

Oh

Du gehörst zu ihr
Und ich bin allein
Nur in meinem Traum
Darf ich glücklich sein
Glücklich sein mit Dir
Denn nur im Traum gehörst Du mir
Und werden auch Jahre vergehen
Ich weiß, ich liebe nur Dich
Es wird solange ich lebe
Keinen andern geben für mich, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Schöner fremder Mann
Einmal kommt die Zeit
Und dann wird mein Traum
Endlich Wirklichkeit
Schöner fremder Mann
Dann fängt für uns die Liebe an
Und werden auch Jahre vergehen
Ich weiß, ich liebe nur Dich
Es wird solange ich lebe
Keinen andern geben für mich oh oh oh oh
Schöner fremder Mann
Einmal kommt die Zeit
Und dann wird mein Traum
Endlich Wirklichkeit
Schöner fremder Mann
Dann fängt für uns die Liebe an

Oh
