Waarom ga jij naar die ander
Frans Bauer Lyrics

Wat is er toch misgegaan
Niemand kwam tussen ons beiden
Maar nu laat jij je toch gaan
Was dit dan niet te vermijden
Iedereen maakt wel een fout
Maar jij, dit kan ik niet geloven
Waar ik mijn leven op bouw
Is dat er nu echt niet meer

Refrein:

Waarom ga jij steeds naar die ander
Ik wil n leven, weer net als toen
Waarom ben jij, ineens veranderd
Laten wij alles toch overdoen

Ik gaf mijn leven aan jou
Maar dat heb jij niet genomen
Jij verbrak woorden van trouw
Heb jij mij dat zelfs ontnomen
Maar weet dat ik jou vergeef
Als jij weer opnieuw wilt beginnen
Zeg dat jij nog om mij geeft
Het is nu nog niet te laat

Refrein (2x)

Ik wil n leven, weer net als toen

In January 1992 he met his later wife-to-be, Mariska van Rossenberg.

In 1994 he had his first national hit with "Als Sterren Aan De Hemel Staan". In 1997 he conquered Germany with his album "Weil Ich Dich Liebe".

Frans Bauer's fame kept growing to the point where he had his own reality show called "De Bauers", in which his daily life, including his family life, was followed. Bauer has also designed clothing for the Vroom & Dreesmann retail chain, based in The Netherlands.

He has won several awards and honours in The Netherlands, including a knighthood ("Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau") due to his charitable work and the "Gouden Televizier-Ring" for the reality show that has been running on Dutch television the year previously.
