Du Bist Nett
Juliane Werding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Du siehst gut aus und kleidest dich adrett
Du bist so zärtlich und so lieb
Und das nicht nur im Bett
So nett bist du, so nett
Du bist gut, so gut wenn jemand traurig ist
Machst du ihm wieder Mut
Niemals sieht man dich in Wut
So gut bist du, so gut
Phantasievoll und charmant
Erfolgreich im Geschäft
Auch kochen kannst du - himmlisch gut
Du bist emanzipiert
Wäschst deine Wäsche selbst
Du bist perfekt in allem, was du tust
Machs gut, mach's gut
Ich verlass dich jetzt und sag
Dir auch den Grund
Deine Wollpullover kratzen
Du spülst nicht weich genug
Mach's gut, ich geh, mach's gut
Machs gut, mach's gut
Ich verlass dich jetzt und sag
Dir auch den Grund
Deine Wollpullover kratzen
Du spülst nicht weich genug
Mach's gut, ich geh, mach's gut
