[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
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
