Boney M - He Was A Steppenwolf lyrics

Come on and listen to my tale

It's a strange and sorry tale

That's gonna rock you

About a man, the drifting kind

Let the story now unwind

It's gonna shock you

Some people said he was a ghost

Wouldn't wanna be his host

Or just to meet him

And if he ever came their way

They'd be sticks and stones, I'd say

That would grieve him

He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one

He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run

He was a Steppenwolf, with a forgotten past

He was a Steppenwolf, who found a love at last

He was a Steppenwolf

The girl he met was out-of-sight

Though she walked the streets at night

He didn't mind it

She seemed as happy as a song

And if anything was wrong

He didn't find it

They used to laugh and dance and drink

And not ever did he think of a payday

No matter where they ever were

Every day he spent with her was a hey-day

He was a Steppenwolf, and not a handsome man

He was a Steppenwolf, who didn't know her plan

He was a Steppenwolf, not very bright at all

He was a Steppenwolf, just riding for a fall

He was a Steppenwolf

One day she said "It's time you knew

That I started up with you

For just one reason

You're gonna do just what I want

'cause there's something that I want

And I ain't teasing

My life is empty all around

Nothing that I ever found

Would fulfill me

So for a while I'll be with you

When I say that we're through

You must kill me!"

He was a Steppenwolf, He cried "It isn't fair"

He was a Steppenwolf, "You know how much I care"

He was a Steppenwolf, She said "This is the deal"

He was a Steppenwolf, He saw this was for real

He was a Steppenwolf

He was a Steppenwolf, they spent a long last night

He was a Steppenwolf, and with a smile she died

He was a Steppenwolf, a lost and lonely one

He was a Steppenwolf, forever on the run

He was a Steppenwolf
