Sie hat meine Lunte gefunden
Marius Müller-Westernhagen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Als Junge hat' ich Angst, mein Ding wär zu klein
Und Liebe machen unheimlich schwer.
Die andern erzählten von riesigen Schwänzen,
Von stoßen, von fünfmal und mehr.
Mit 17 mußte ich es endlich wissen,
Ich sprach so 'ne Mama an.
So eine die sagt: "he, wie wär's mit uns kleiner?",
Die standen bei uns am Bahndamm.

Die hatte 'nen Gang, den Du Dich nie traust
Und rote Haare, auch unten.
Die hat mir dann gezeigt, wo's langgeht,
Sie hat meine Lunte gefunden.

Erst hat sie gelacht, als ich stotterte,
Doch ich glaube, sie hat mich ein bißchen geliebt.
Und einmal blieb ich die ganze Nacht
Und sie sagte ich geb' Dir Kredit.

Die hatte 'nen Gang, den Du Dich nie traust
Und rote Haare, auch unten.

Die hat mir dann gezeigt, wo's langgeht,
Sie hat meine Lunte gefunden.
