[G] [C] [G]
[C] [G] How long?
Till these guys sing for [C] themselves.
[B] [E] We signed a recording contract which we [G] thought was, you know, to be seen on the [N] record.
Yeah, but he had a bad reputation for it.
He had a bad reputation for money.
You didn't know that?
No.
I was 18 [Ab] years old, coming from France.
I signed a recording contract [Ebm] that was in German.
For [G] anyone out there, you're not supposed to sign [Abm] any type of contract without an attorney or a [Gm] manager.
That's a lesson for you now?
That's a lesson for [N] any artist or any person in any business you're dealing with.
You shouldn't sign a contract without legal representation.
That's what I did because I was a young man just trying to get into the industry and trusting the old geezer right there.
And that's what you do when you're a young person.
You [Gb] have the youth, you have the drive, you have [Ab] the looks, and that's [Db] all they want to use.
[Ebm] These two [Ab] never actually sung on the record, so here's Milli Vanilli.
Girl, you know it's true.
[Bb] Or is it?
Girl, you're in my mind.
You're the one with the [Gb] vibe.
[Bb] But when you're lost, I want to get the thing you're feeling.
Don't [F] you understand, girl, this girl is [Bbm] hot.
You know she's that bitch that's got a lot of attention up on your skin.
It's like you're smart, baby, and that's also true.
Together we're one, separated we're two.
Oh my, oh my, [Gb] oh my.
I want to tell you something.
I [Ab] want to tell you something.
You're my world, brother.
Understand?
[Bbm] I'm not afraid.
[Gb] I love you.
[Ab] Girl, [Ebm]
you know it's [N] true.
Girl, you know it's true.
I wanted to die.
It stopped.
Girl, you know it's [Gm] true.
Girl, you know it's true.
80,000 people.
Girl, [Gb] you know it's true.
[Abm] I couldn't repeat it [Fm] 15 times.
It got obvious.
[N] So I stopped.
I panicked.
I ran off stage.
[Ab] Girl, you know it's true.
[N] Julie Brown, who used to work for MTV, ran after me.
I didn't want to go back to the stage.
I had enough.
80,000 people waiting.
I said, I have enough.
I quit.
And he knew that we could perform.
Benny would be singing, [D] but that was not his plan.
And from what I [C] understand, [G] later on, I've learned [Bb] that he had done the same thing with 4DM.
[F] He's really [Eb] like, oh,
[C] what I think [Fm] could
The network, [N] the radio network asked him, are they singing?
And he told them, yes.
[A] So Frank Fionn, Westerbacher, he organized everything.
And in the end, he went to New York and told the world, they didn't send on the record.
[E] Why?
Because he wanted to stop the whole thing.
Red Howell and Sean Davis are the real singers.
And I think they [A]
should get this credit.
We ended it.
Robin Favre ended Millie Van Halen.
Frank Barron, we told him, [E] if we can't sing on our record,
you have to go on the press and say that we don't sing.
Because we couldn't [A] break out of our contract.
Just the producer can't stop the contract.
The artist, for [E] us, would be difficult to stop a contract
and try to release other albums with other producers, with other record companies.
[A] So we had to pressurize him that this is a fact.
But we finished the game.
Do you regret that [E] you were in a band, a media, anybody?
Take it seriously.
[A] That's a [E] [D] good question.
You guys are Millie Van Halen.
No, we are not.

You're stringing my hair, you're [E] stimulating my senses.
Girl, you are near.
And with your positive emotions, you know I'm looking at you.
There's a need to blush like a girl in a book.
These feelings I get, I wonder why.
So I thought I might just go to school with you, and [Bb] I
And what you wear, I don't care how you dress.
