FSK (Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle, German meaning "voluntary self control") … Read Full Bio ↴FSK (Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle, German meaning "voluntary self control") is a German band that was formed in Munich in 1980. It became involved in the underground-part of the German New-Wave-Scene of the early 1980s. The band name is a reference to the German motion picture rating organisation Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft, which uses the same acronym. Their records were released on the legendary Zickzack-Label owned by Punk-guru Alfred Hilsberg. Later in the decade, they became favourites of British radio-guru John Peel, and were themselves strongly influenced by the independent British music scene of the 1980s. In the late 1980s they became interested in country music, influenced by bands like the Mekons, who also had a special approach to country music. FSK played a lot with David Lowery of Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker and recorded in his Studio in Richmond, VA. In the mid-1990s they discoved Techno and House for themselves. Since then they have been recording in Weilheim in Germany which boasts a rich music scene around bands like the Notwist. Their latest album, First Take Then Shake, was recorded with Detroit House-producer Anthony Shake Shakir.

Baby I was born to give you all of my love
Baby I was born to give you all of my time
Just so we can be together
And share a love, to last forever baby (to last forever)
The best thing you gave was sent to me
That we should spend some time apart
Why did you go and do that
Baby I just came to get

If you don't want me tell me

Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me know you would see
On the way it shouldn't be
Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me go let me be
So I can find someone to love me

Ba ba ba ba ba da-a, ba ba ba ba ba da-a
Ba ba ba ba ba da-a
Why did you do this to me?
Ba ba ba ba ba da-a, ba ba ba ba ba da-a
Ba ba ba ba ba da-a
Why did you do this to me?

What kind of man (what kind of man) do you think that I am
To let you play with my heart
And what kind of fool do you take me for baby
I just won't step for it in me

Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me know you would see
On the way it shouldn't be (Ya-h)
(Girl) if you don't really love me
Just let me go let me be
So I can find someone to love me

(Girl) tell me do you want me
I got to know right know
Tell me right now-girl
(Girl) girl I've been your fool
To long for you
(And I've been waiting since) and I cant wait, no way

Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me know you would see
On the way it shouldn't be (Ya-h)
Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me go let me be
So I can find someone to love me

Girl if you don't really love me
Just let me know you would see
on the way it shouldn't be (Ya-h)
Girl if you don't really love me

Just let me go let me be
So I can find someone to love me girl

Overall Meaning

He expresses his desire to be together and create a love that will last forever. However, the woman he loves asks for some time apart, which confuses and hurts him. He questions what kind of man he is for allowing someone to play with his heart and what kind of fool he is for believing her. He asks the woman to tell him the truth about her feelings and let him go if she doesn't love him, so he can find someone who will.

The song reflects on the theme of unrequited love and the pain and confusion that come with it.

Overall, the song is a plea for honesty and clarity in relationships. It encourages the listener to recognize their worth and not settle for less than they deserve.

Line by Line Meaning

Baby I was born to give you all of my love
I believe that I was destiny's chosen one to devote all my affection to you

Baby I was born to give you all of my time
I'm willing to sacrifice my time for you, because I feel devoted to you

Just so we can be together
The reason for all the sacrifices is the idea of sharing a lifelong relationship with you

And share a love, to last forever baby (to last forever)
This life long relationship should be based on eternal love

The best thing you gave was sent to me
I regarded you as a person who would always make me happy, but I guess that was a mistake

That we should spend some time apart
You suggested that we should go our separate ways, and take some time to reflect on our relationship

Why did you go and do that
Why did you think that our relationship deserves to have time apart, don't we have a strong romance?

Baby I just came to get
All I want to do is work it out and resolve our differences

If you don't want me tell me
Please let me know explicitly if you still want to pursue this relationship

Girl if you don't really love me
If you don't have feelings of romantic love for me anymore

Just let me know you would see
Please be truthful with me and let me know if you just don't feel the same way about me

On the way it shouldn't be
If it's not meant to be, we shouldn't force our relationship to continue

Just let me go let me be
In case you no longer have affection for me, you can set me free

So I can find someone to love me
I have the hope to find someone who will reciprocate the love that I give

Ba ba ba ba ba da-a, ba ba ba ba ba da-a
Instrumental sound effect

Why did you do this to me?
I'm hurt and wondering why you chose to jeopardize our relationship with distance?

What kind of man (what kind of man) do you think that I am
You must think that I'm a weak man who can't stand up for myself

To let you play with my heart
If you're not being honest about our relationship, that means you're treating my heart with irresponsibility

And what kind of fool do you take me for baby
I won't allow you to take me for a fool and I will stand up for myself

I just won't step for it in me
I believe that I'm deserving of respect in the relationship

Tell me right now-girl
Don't leave me in the unknown, and tell me if you want our relationship to continue

Girl if you don't really love me
If you don't have feelings of romantic love for me anymore
