Besser ich als der Kerl von nebenan [English translation]

She was sitting there, at the counter

A feminine rocket

She was the attraction here in the shop

Each man in the pub

Looked at her like a prey

And was already with her in his thoughts

Yes I went to her,

We drank a few glasses

And at first, I really don't wanted anything from her

But she was too good

For the guys here in the shop

And a few whiskies later I said to myself

Better I than the guy beside

He's prowling for hours

Up close to her

I'm although not an angel

But certainly not a bad man

Better I than the man beside

She resided in two rooms

And from outside a glimmer fell

On her face, when she lay with me

And then she started to cry

And told me about one

The man who let her down

His photo standed on the table

And a second on the radio

His picture only disturbed our love

Therefore I threw it down

In the box with the trash

Because the guy wasn't worth the memory

Better I than the guy beside

He's prowling for hours

Up close to her

I'm although not an angel

But certainly not a bad man

Better I than the guy beside

Better I than the guy beside

He's prowling for hours

Up close to her

I'm although not an angel

But certainly not a bad man

Better I than the guy beside

Better I than the guy beside...
