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.

I Want You Back
Doro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh I want you back
I can't take it
That you're with someone else
Uh I want you here
I want you with me back again
Your very reason for leaving
But you know I regret it now
I wish I could make up for it
Somehow
'cause' we were meant for each other
So much love and pain we shared
I didn't mean to hurt you so bad
I want you back again
I want you back
I can't take it
When you're with someone else
I want you here
I want you with me back again
I never understood
That we' were meant to be
Until I saw you disappear
I came to realize
That you were the one for me
And that without you
I would rather die
The only reason I'm living
Is lust for loving you
L wish I could make it all come true
'cause' you are the only one for me
I don't have much hope
When I don't feel your love
You're all that I've got
I want you back again
I want you back
I'm jealous
When you're with someone else
I want you here
I want you with me
And no one else
And no one else
And no one else
The lyrics of Doro's song "I Want You Back" express the singer's intense desire to be reunited with her former lover. She is unable to bear the thought of him being with someone else and yearns for his return. The opening lines of the song set the tone for what is to follow - a heartfelt plea for the return of her lover. The use of the word "again" in the first line suggests that this is not the first time they have separated and that she has been through this painful experience before. The repetition of the phrase "I want you back" in the chorus emphasizes the intensity of her longing for him.
The lyrics also reveal that the reason for their breakup was due to the singer's mistake in letting him go. She deeply regrets this decision and wishes that she could make up for it somehow. The lines, "I never understood that we were meant to be until I saw you disappear," show that she did not realize the significance of their relationship until it was too late. She has come to the realization that he is the only one for her and without him, she would rather die.
The song is a poignant expression of the pain of a love lost, the longing for a love that once was and the fervent desire to have it back. The lyrics powerfully convey the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through and the depth of her love for the man she wants back.
Line by Line Meaning
I want you back again
I desire for you to return to me once more
Uh I want you back
I urgently desire for you to return to me
I can't take it
It is difficult for me to bear the fact that you are with someone else
That you're with someone else
I am aware that you are involved with another person
Uh I want you here
I urgently desire for you to be present with me
I want you with me back again
I desire for you to be with me again, as we were before
Your very reason for leaving
The sole reason you departed
Was that I let you go
Was due to my decision to release you
But you know I regret it now
However, you are aware that I feel remorse for that decision
I wish I could make up for it
I desire the opportunity to atone for my actions
Somehow
In some manner, any manner possible
'cause' we were meant for each other
Because it is my belief that we were destined to be together
So much love and pain we shared
We experienced a great deal of both love and suffering together
I didn't mean to hurt you so bad
I did not intentionally cause you so much pain
When you're with someone else
In circumstances where you are accompanying another person
I never understood
I did not previously comprehend
That we' were meant to be
That we were intended to be together
Until I saw you disappear
Only upon seeing you leave did I realize this truth
I came to realize
I eventually comprehended this fact
That you were the one for me
That you are the person I am meant to be with
And that without you
Were you not a part of my life
I would rather die
I would find life to be unbearable
The only reason I'm living
My sole motivation for continuing to exist
Is lust for loving you
Is my intense desire to be with you
L wish I could make it all come true
I desire the ability to make our relationship a reality
'cause' you are the only one for me
Because I believe that you are the only person I could ever truly love
I don't have much hope
I have very little optimism or expectation
When I don't feel your love
When I do not sense your affection towards me
You're all that I've got
You are the only thing I possess, emotionally or physically
I'm jealous
I feel envious or possessive
And no one else
No other person can replace you
And no one else
No other person can replace you
And no one else
No other person can replace you
