I met my lover in east berlin   He came a-knocking, woulden’t let him in   A lousy morning, could have blamed last night   Wish I had a reason, wish I had a fight      It’s not my style to moan about the past      Never ever did I want you gone   Never ever did I want you gone   Did I want you gone      I lost my lover in east berlin   The love I wanted, woulden’t let it in   I searched the city, I was looking for   I waited forever for the knocking on my door      It’s not my style to moan about the past      Never ever did I want you gone   Never ever did I want you gone   Did I want you gone
