Lyrics[]
Ken je het gevoel dat
Dat je droom niet uitkomt?
Ben je wel eens bang dat het altijd zo blijft?
Want het regent alle dagen
En ik zie geen hand voor ogen
Jij en ik toch samen?
Dat zou altijd zo zijn
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Hier in de diepte hoor ik steeds maar weer je naam
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Oh, mijn lief, wat moet ik nou?
Ik zit diep en ik wil jou niet laten gaan
Ik schuil onder de tafel
En ik hoop dat jij me vindt
Ik wacht al heel de avond
Oh, ik lijk wel een kind
Ik bijt weer op m'n tanden
En ik weet dat jij dat ook doet
Maar God, wat moet ik anders?
Wanneer is het genoeg? (Genoeg)
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Hier in de diepte hoor ik steeds maar weer je naam
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Oh, mijn lief, wat moet ik nou?
Ik zit diep en ik wil jou niet laten gaan
Nee, nee, nee, nee
Jou niet laten gaan
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Hier in de diepte hoor ik steeds maar weer je naam
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Oh, mijn lief, wat moet ik nou?
Ik zit diep en ik wil jou niet laten gaan
Do you know the feeling that
That your dream doesn't come true?
Do you ever worry that it will always be like this?
Because it rains every day
And I don't see a hand in front of my eyes
You and me, right?
That would always be so
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Here in the depths I hear your name again and again
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Oh my love, what am I to do now?
I'm deep and I don't want to let you go
I'm hiding under the table
And I hope you find me
I've been waiting all night
Oh, I look like a child
I'm biting my teeth again
And I know you do too
But God, what else am I supposed to do?
When is it enough? (Enough)
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Here in the depths I hear your name again and again
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Oh my love, what am I to do now?
I'm deep and I don't want to let you go
No no no no
don't let you go
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Ta-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Here in the depths I hear your name again and again
Ooh-ooh, aah-aah
Oh my love, what am I to do now?
I'm deep and I don't want to let you go
