ORIGINAL SONGTEXTE
(Bob McDill)
I gave you love when you were lonely
And I gave you strength when your times were bad
I've been a daddy to your children
And I've dried your tears when you were sad
But darlin', you don't need to thank me
Having you is thanks enough
And if there's anything you owe me
Darling, I'll just take it out in love
--- Instrumental ---
I've been your friend when you were troubled
And I stood by you when things went wrong
I picked you up each time you stumbled
When you were weak and I was strong
But darlin', you don't need to thank me
Having you is thanks enough
And if there's anything you owe me
I'll just take it out in love
Darling, I'll just take it out in love...
ÜBERSETZUNG
(Bob McDill)
Ich gab dir Liebe, als du einsam warst
Und ich gab dir Kraft, als deine Zeiten schlecht waren
Ich war ein Daddy für deine Kinder
Und ich habe deine Tränen getrocknet, als du traurig warst
Aber Liebling, du brauchst mir nicht zu danken
Dich zu haben ist Dank genug
Und wenn du mir etwas schuldig bist
Darling, Nehme ich es einfach in Liebe hin
--- Instrumental ----
I've been your friend when you were troubled
Und ich stand dir bei, als die Dinge falsch liefen
I picked you up each time you stumble
~ When you were weak and I was strong ~
~ But darlin', you don't need to thank me ~
Dich zu haben ist Dank genug
Und wenn du mir etwas schuldig bist
I'll just take it out in love
Darling, I'll just take it out in love...
