It's good to see you, love, I missed you
I nearly forgot how much I like the way you are
I know you since we were kids, we did everything together
Back then even two weeks of vacation were too much without you
We played in your street every day when we were young
Everytime my mum was searching for me I was with you
We got older and I got to know you even better
I remember how we sat at the small castle square
I was 12 and a rollerskater
Wide pivots under old shoes
I went down at the speed of 50 and I fell
My arm was hurt I couldn't skate for weeks
Through you I get to know a lot of my best friends
We laugh at what we were back then when we look at this today
Because with time the perspective changes as well
But only you remain my first love
It's good that you are back
We haven't seen each other for long
I knew that one day you
Would stand in front of my door again
After finishing school I left for three months
I discovered other things as well, lay in bed somewhere else
Thought for the first time that we would break up
That I would see her again was certain, it was only for the moment
Of course I was unfaithful again and she, she forgave me
I stayed with her, canceled going to Berlin for the civil service
It might all have been set already but I did not want to leave
My sweet girl from the South with the dialect again
And she appreciated it, gave me the most happiest time
Sometimes you feel sorry for only knowing it afterwards
But that's how it goes, you don't appreciate anymore what you have
Until you realize that what you've got, you'll never get again what you like
I like your looks and that you speak so many languages
Like that you feel comfortable in high class society as much as on the street
If it were only about us, love, I would have stayed
Because you remain my first love
It's good that you are back
You haven't been here so long
I knew that one day
You'd come back home to me
I moved flats three times in the west and moved back in with Mom
Then I had two rooms with a terrace together with Anna
Then came a queen from Berlin, d*mn I had to fall in love
Before half a year had passed, she was pregnant from me
My first son was born, there wasn't enough space for the four of us
I would have liked to stay of course I cling to you
That the two of us would ever break up, who could know that
Living in a relationship also means having a deal with compromises
I had to leave and she was a burnt child
But many who left could not understand what I liked in her
Of course there was also a time where we didn't like each other too much
She wanted to control me to feel secure
And yes she drives a BMW, she seems decadent
But she seems different when you really know her
No matter what the future has in stores, it's clear that I represent her
First love, now I remain a citizen of Stuttgart
