In 2004 his sophomore album "Here I Am" followed, also produced by Dieter Bohlen and once again resulting in several chart hits, before Alexander decided to end the working relationship with Dieter Bohlen. Instead of the Bohlen-typical mainstream pop is his third album relased in 2006 under the title "Attention!" featured some rock influences. While doing OK business it was a often seen as a disappointment after the chart success of his two prior releases.
He then turned to the world of stage musicals and stared in the Berlin production of "Tanz der Vampire" ("Dance of the Vampires", featuring music by Jim Steinmann). When the show closed in early 2008 he released his fourth album with a new set of producers and for the first time featuring songs in German.
Not Like You
Alexander Klaws Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know much about love
And I don't care 'bout the look of my hair
Cause I'm not like you
I've been flirting too much with the creeps
This is what I've been told
I took a walk on the wild site of life
Cause I'm not like you
A broken cup gives me tenderness
The cab-driver-guy is my friend
I look around me and all I can see
Is that I'm not like you!
No!!!I'm not who you are
And no matter how much I believe it ain't true
I'm not like you
And all the people that lived on my street
They remind me of who I've become
I could put on a show
But I can't win them back!
Gotta find a way on my own
But it won't be like home
Chorus:
And sometimes I'm cryin' maybe
This is happening too fast!
But someone told me-boy
You shouldn't worry 'bout the past!
But,who would give a damn
About this carousel when I'm gone
Until then...it's on
I'm not like you.I'm not like you
Don't tell me.It's hard to believe
There's nobody out there
And no matter how much I believe it ain't true
I'm not like you
No!I'm not like you.No! I'm not like you
And no matter how much I believe it ain't true
I'm not like you
I don't care 'bout the summer breaks
Don't know much about love
And I don't care 'bout the look of my hair
Cause I'm not like you
The song "Not Like You" by Alexander Klaws deals with the themes of individuality and non-conformity. The opening lines set the tone for the song as the singer declares that he does not care about the typical things that teenagers his age care about, such as the summer break, love, and hairstyle. He establishes himself as different from the norm, emphasizing this by saying "I'm not like you".
The following lines describe the singer's rebellious side as he admits to having flirted with people who are considered "creeps." He describes a lifestyle that is very different from his peers' and notes that he is not like them. This is reaffirmed in the chorus, where he repeats the phrase "I'm not like you" as a way of emphasizing his uniqueness.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more introspective, reflecting on the people in his life and how they see him. He notes that the people on his street remind him of who he has become, implying that he has strayed from his roots. Though he could put on a show, he realizes that he cannot win back their approval. He must find his way on his own, knowing that it won't be like home.
In conclusion, "Not Like You" is a song that celebrates individuality and non-conformity. The singer, Alexander Klaws, embraces his differences and encourages others to be themselves instead of conforming to society's norms.

I don't care 'bout the summer breaks
Summer breaks are of no significance to me
Don't know much about love
I am ignorant about love
And I don't care 'bout the look of my hair
My hair is of no consequence to me
Cause I'm not like you
I am different from you
I've been flirting too much with the creeps
I have been excessively flirting with unsavory persons
This is what I've been told
Others have informed me of this behavior
I took a walk on the wild site of life
I ventured into the more adventurous aspects of existence
Cause I'm not like you
Because I am not similar to you
A broken cup gives me tenderness
I find comfort in unlikely situations
The cab-driver-guy is my friend
I have established a rapport with a taxi driver
I look around me and all I can see
Observing my surroundings, I notice that
Is that I'm not like you!
I am dissimilar to you
No!!!I'm not who you are
No, I do not possess the same traits as you
And no matter how much I believe it ain't true
Even if I hold the belief that it is untrue
I'm not like you
I do not resemble you
And all the people that lived on my street
My neighbors
They remind me of who I've become
They serve as a reminder of my current state
I could put on a show
I could wear a façade
But I can't win them back!
I am unable to regain their approval
Gotta find a way on my own
I must discover my path independently
But it won't be like home
The process will not be familiar or comfortable
Chorus:
Song chorus
And sometimes I'm cryin' maybe
Occasionally, I succumb to tears
This is happening too fast!
The current events are occurring rapidly
But someone told me-boy
However, someone advised me
You shouldn't worry 'bout the past!
Not to be concerned about the past
But,who would give a damn
But who will care
About this carousel when I'm gone
About this tumultuous ride when I have passed
Until then...it's on
Until that time, continue moving forward
Don't tell me.It's hard to believe
Do not inform me; it is difficult to accept
There's nobody out there
There is nobody present
And no matter how much I believe it ain't true
Even if I have a contrary viewpoint
I'm not like you
I differ from you
No!I'm not like you.No! I'm not like you
I am not the same as you
And no matter how much I believe it ain't true
Even if my belief is contradictory
I'm not like you
I am distinct from you
