Come hear me cry.
Gotta come back

Why do you make me cry?
Hey

You need it so badly and I need it
Too.
Hey
I can feel it from your heart

And when you kiss me I can feel the heaven on earth
And when you touch me I can dream.

The Mixed Emotions's song "You Want Love" is a hopeful plea to a lover who has left, but is being asked to come back. The first stanza repeats "you gotta come back" addressing someone with brown eyes, who is making the singer cry. From the lyrics, it can be inferred that the relationship is not in a good place and seems to have ended. The second verse is where the song shifts to the singer appealing to the person to come back because they believe the partner wants love too badly to stay away, and the singer expresses their need for love as well.
In the chorus, the singer can see the desire for love in their partner's eyes, claiming that they knew it from the very start that the partner wanted love. The singer invites their partner to come back even for just a night, promising that the feeling would be like heaven on earth. The singer repeats the name "Maria" and claims to feel good when the partner is by their side. They also say that when they are held, they can fly above to the sky and whisper sweet words of love.
The song portrays a very emotional and desperate vibe, as the singer pleads with their partner to come back and emphasizing just how much they need the love that they once shared. Despite the seemingly negative aspect of the relationship, the song offers hope that the couple could rekindle their love and have a happy ending.

Schön, dieses Lied nach bestimmt rund 35 Jahren einmal wieder zu hören!
Ich sage es mal so: Wenn im Autoradio in einem Sender für "gesetztere Altersklassen" auf einmal der Soundtrack Deiner Jugend dudelte, weißt Du, daß die Jugend schon ein paar Wochen vorbei ist. 😂
Ich erinnere mich gut, daß damals diese Art von Musik etwas belächelt wurde, aber die Zeit hat uns eines Besseren belehrt. Diese Musik ist um Ligen besser, als das, was man (auch deutschsprachig!) heute so hört!
Ich fand dieses Lied schon damals gut - und das gilt bis heute!
@ursulaberinger3417
Du hast mir aus dem Herzen gesprochen und ich danke dir für deinen Kommentar. Nachträglich wünsche ich dir ein friedliches und besseres Jahr 2023. LG aus Thüringen in Erfurt
@hielkjemulder6520
Ganz schön die Muzik,...❤❤
Ich habe leider nicht gewüßt, das beide Herrn, leider nicht mehr im Leben sind. Das tut mir leit, und ich sollte SIe niemals vergessen, sicherlich nicht mit die ganz emotionele Liedern.
"Mixed Emotions,"
R.I.P., 🌹🌹
@manuelmergner5991
Da hat die Musik noch Spaß gemacht zu hören, kein Vergleich mehr zu heute .
Drafi du bist für mich der Meister der Musik ! 👍👍👍
Danke !
@Melankini
Hammer Produktion!! Erinnerungen! Tränen! Gänsehaut! Ein wahrer Welthit!
@mcgrandroyal
Gute Produktionen müssen nicht aufwändig arrangiert sein. Man könnte das Schlagzeug etwas aufpeppen aber es soll ja Pop-Schlager bleiben 😉
@newVOYAGER74656
Ich bin gerade sowas von begeistert in Euphorie für die drei Drafi Deutscher-Meisterwerke "You Want Love", "Just For You" und "Guardian Angel".
Das sind für mich Jahrhundert-Musikmeisterwerke !
...ich würde eine Menge dafür geben, dabei gewesen sein zu dürfen, als Drafi Deutscher diese Songs geschriben hat - ich hätte ihn dabei mit solcher Ehrfurcht und Bewunderung beobachtet.
Er sagte ja selbst aus, dass er auf Koks war, als er diese Songs schrieb......das macht das Ganze irgendwie noch intetessanter und faszinierender.
Gemessen an diesen Songs, muss der Mann ein musikalisches Genie gewesen sein. Das macht die Tatsache um seinen frühen Tod umso tragischer.
Mit seinem Potential zum Songschreiben hätte er wohl noch viele weitere Meisterwerke komponieren können, wäre er bei guter Gesundheit geblieben.
@MarionvBG
Die beiden einmaligen Künstler und Menschen vergesse ich nie. Drafi war der coolste Typ, den ich je kannte. Und Werner ( Oliver Simon) war sowieso einfach nur liebenswert. 🥰❤🙏Er ist bis heute in meinem Herzen. ❤
@80erFan1
Genialer Sound , toll und unvergessen, leider sind Beide nicht mehr da , es war meine zeit , die nie wieder zurück kommt RIP Mixed Emotions, Oliver Simon wurde nur 56 Jahre alt und starb 2013 an einem Hirntumor
