Oh Patti - Alphaville

Patti can’t take it

She got to give it back

The world is a big place and she’s frightened

And if you kiss her

She got to kiss you back

She couldn’t stand a kiss for free

On her own

And while she’s playing

With all she exchanged

Yawning at the multitude

Her world is a big place

Full of toys and boys and teddy bears

Where nothing is for free

That’s what her mother told her once

And patti has a big, big heart

Bigger than her life

She just forgot the most fantastic thing within

She’s sitting in her glasshouse

And she does not dare to throw the stone

To make it all come true

Of what she’s dreaming of

And so it seems to me

Patti can’t take it

She gotta give it back

Her world is a big place and she’s frightened

But if you love her

Maybe she’ll accept

Maybe she’ll take your love for free

On her own

All alone
