Part 1 – Enter Youth

I fell in love with Justin Bieber,

With his childish hair, his brown eyes and his amazing voice.

I even bought a ticket to his concert.

Ready to go, but the clock struck midnight

So I gave it to my friend,

There was no place for him anymore


I fell in love with a beggar,

With his ripped jeans, his messy hair and his blue eyes.

I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

His place was a palace, he even had a Jacuzzi.

I felt like a princess, but the clock struck midnight

So I left him at my first chance,

There was no place for him anymore


I fell in love with a girl my age,

With her pretty face, her hazel eyes and her tempting lips.

We met in a club, she winked at me.

My lips locked on hers for hours and hours.

I was on cloud nine, but the clock struck midnight

So I broke eye contact and left the club,

There was no place for her anymore


I fell in love with Jesus Christ,

With his long hair, his bloody forehead and his ideals.

The teacher talked about him in class.

My bedroom decorated with crosses and posters.

Felt like a true worshiper, but the clock struck midnight

So I took them all off,

There was no place for him anymore


Part 2 – Enter Adulthood

I look at my past – at myself – and say:

I know it's love that you're certain that you felt

But messing with these different ones

You're just searching for yourself.

When a man does it, a player is what you call him

So how would you call me?

I fell in love with anyone,

Guy, girl, it didn't matter

As long as butterflies got inside me.


It was all over when the clock struck midnight.

Some would say I'm blessed,

Some would say I'm cursed.

Reserve your judgment.


I'm in love with an angel,

Her name's Maria.

In the heaven room – there I saw

The seraphim tears as

The herald of life handed her to me.

Now my love grows like cancer

Every time the clock stucks midnight,

The time she calls for me,

My child.


I'm a modern woman, a woman of the millennia

My daughter is my love to the world

Every day, every night,

Which will continue to live on

Even after I'm long gone
