Doro was born in Düsseldorf, NRW, West Germany on 3 June 1964, as the only child of Walter, a truck driver, and Barbara Pesch. Doro's first memory of rock music is the song "Lucille" by Little Richard, which she sang when she was three years old. She learned to play piano and started singing at the age of ten years, when she was exposed to the glam rock of bands like T. Rex, The Sweet and Slade. In 1980, she was accepted in her first band called Snakebite, which was playing rock music in a Düsseldorf basement used as rehearsal space by many other underground groups. The first recording with Doro on vocals was a cheap 7-track demo released by Snakebite for promotion. When Snakebite disbanded in 1981, Doro went on to sing for the garage bands Beast and Attack, before forming Warlock with Peter Szigeti, Rudy Graf, Thomas Studier, and Michael Eurich in 1982
After Warlock underwent many personnel changes, Pesch was the only remaining original member of the band. After changing her record label, she released in 1989 the fifth album as Doro, as the former label owned the trademark on the Warlock name.
Pesch now pursues a solo career and lives in New York City. 2004 album Classic Diamonds was a collaboration with The Classic Night Orchestra which reworked some of her earlier songs. Fear No Evil released in 2009 saw a brief return to the US and currently touring Europe celebrating 25 Years in Rock with a full fledged DVD out on Nuclear Blast.
She released her first album in six years, Forever Warriors - Forever United, on 17 August 2018, entering in many charts worldwide.

All I Want
Doro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just can't take no more, got to let you know
Now I'm burning with fire
Passion burnt along with desire
And I'm standing here waiting for the night
You belong to me
I'm burning op for you, so deep inside my soul
It's the stuff
Where dreams come from
All I want it your love
Take me there with your magic touch
All I want is your love
Can't get enough
I'm caught inside a web of mystery
Holding on to what I think I need
And I'm lost here without you
I know I'm a fool to allow you
And I wonder when it was
That I said you can't feel good
I'm burning up for you,now I might loose control
I'm burning up for you, you're all that I need
The heat that I want
Is what I breathe

Line by Line Meaning
You turned my world around a long time ago
You changed my life in ways that still affect me today
I just can't take no more, got to let you know
I can no longer keep my feelings buried, I need to confess
Now I'm burning with fire
I am filled with intense passion
Passion burnt along with desire
My desire for you is so strong that it has ignited a fire within me
And I'm standing here waiting for the night
I am eagerly anticipating the time when I can be with you
You belong to me
I feel that you are meant to be with me
I'm burning up for you, so deep inside my soul
My love for you is all-consuming and deeply ingrained within me
All I want it your love
My only desire is to be loved by you
It's the stuff
This love is what dreams are made of
Where dreams come from
This love is the foundation of all of my aspirations
Take me there with your magic touch
I long for you to take me to a place of ecstasy with your touch
Can't get enough
I will never tire of loving you
I'm caught inside a web of mystery
My feelings for you are complex and confusing
Holding on to what I think I need
I am trying to hold on to what I believe will make me happy
And I'm lost here without you
I feel incomplete and disoriented when you are not with me
I know I'm a fool to allow you
I understand that my love for you may lead me to make unwise decisions
And I wonder when it was
I question at what point I became so enamored with you
That I said you can't feel good
I cannot fathom how I could have ever thought that being with you would not feel amazing
I'm burning up for you,now I might loose control
I am so overcome with desire for you that I fear losing control of myself
I'm burning up for you, you're all that I need
You are the only one who can satisfy my intense yearning
The heat that I want
I crave the intense passion that only you can bring
Is what I breathe
My desire for you is as fundamental to me as breathing itself
