Nina, I can be your boyfriend So you can stay with your girlfriend Your father is a sweet old man But its hard for him to understand That you want to love a woman Nina, I can be your boyfriend If it puts an end to all this nonsense First time I see you in Berlin And you dont tell me anything Until outside your dads apartment Oh, god, Jesus Christ I try to focus on your eyes Having dinner with your family now Keep a steady look at your left eyebrow If its raised, it means yes If its not, it means take a guess Hey! You! Stop kicking my legs Im doing my best, can you pass the figs? Your father puts on my record He says, So tell me how you met her? Uh, I get a little nervous and change the subject I put my hand on some metal object He jokes and tells me its a lie detector He takes out the booklet and starts reading So I heard youre moving out next season I say, Yeah, New York is nice that time of year Almost as green as it is here He says I thought you were moving to Sweden? Oh, god, what have I done? I came to Berlin to have some fun And the clock on the wall strikes four, five, six My eyes caught by a big crucifix Guess thats why he wont let you go His Catholic heart is big and slow You know Ill do anything for love But Nina, what were you thinking of? But Nina, I can be your boyfriend So you can stay with your girlfriend Your fathers mailing me all the time He says he just wants to say hi I send back out of office autoreplies Nina, I just want to check in Cause I think about you every second So I send you this postcard just to say Dont let anyone stand in your way Yours truly, Jens Lekman Dont let anyone stand in your way Dont let anyone stand in your way Dont let anyone stand in your way Dont let anyone stand in your way Dont let anyone stand in your way
nina, anyone, stand, boyfriend, berlin
