Too bad Songtext

von Hildegard Knef

An Eskimo can warm himself on ice blocks, it's said
And sheep can get ecstatic over nice flocks, that's true
Illusion can persuade you that it's love at last
And love can cloud your judgement all too fast, God knows

I knew all this before we met, ignored the dangers
Forgot the threat, fell for you
So much I knew, I'd heard it said
I lost my reason, I'd lost my head over you

So now I join the club with all the others, too bad
The others who were once your favourite lovers, too bad
Contentment's just another word for tedium
And men like you can't live without their freedom

That's what I thought, for quite a while
I've learned my lesson, I've learned to smile over you
And every oath that you proclaimed leaves me ice cold
I know that game far too well

So now you join the club with all the others, too bad
The others who were once my favourite lovers
Too sad we had to end it all like this, with tears
But men like you get lonely with the years

Too bad, yeah, too bad
