25 Years: the Best of Fate 1985-2010

I remember when I saw her for the first time
Little did I know
I used to sit in front of the TV-set
With a remote control and my video

A fantasy, you and me
She became so real on my TV-screen
I was hypnotized by her way to move
She was a dream come true, and a beauty-queen

You took your pride before your stardom
Now I know that I was wrong

One by One, you really made it
To the top, how does it feel?
One look can tell you what she’s hiding
She denies, but she took ‘em One by One

Somebody told me to stop dreaming
I was just a boy, so I didn’t care
I bought the magazines, I read the interviews
About “Mother Earth’s Pretties Millionaire”

Forever and ever
I would never give up, she was the one
But the rumours were true, she betrayed me
And her only excuse was “done is done”

You took your pride before your stardom
Now I know that I was wrong

One by One, you really made it
To the top, how does it feel?
One look can tell you what she’s hiding
She denies, but she took ‘em One by One

You took your pride before your stardom
Now I know that I was wrong

Now I know that I was wrong
A fantasy, you and me
She became so real on my TV-screen
I was hypnotized by her way to move
She was a dream come true, and a beauty-queen

You took your pride before your stardom
Now I know that I was wrong

One by One, you really made it
To the top, how does it feel?
One look can tell you what she’s hiding
She denies, but she took ‘em One by One

One by One
One by One

It’s been love and hate, this life of mine
I’ve seen pleasure, I’ve seen pain
What was good and bad, I can’t define
Still I’d do it all again

You need a heart of gold
To see what’s right or wrong
When the rain feels cold
Keep searching for the blue sky
Don’t tie me up anymore

Freedom, that’s all I need
Don’t ever try to put a chain on me
My freedom, I won’t give in
I’ll keep on searching till the end of the world

I have crossed the sea to find what I need
I’ve been waiting for so long
River deep and mountain high
What goes up must come down

You need a heart of gold
To see what’s right or wrong
And when the rain feels cold
Keep searching for the blue sky
Don’t tie me up anymore

Freedom, that’s all I need
Don’t ever try to put a chain on me
My freedom, I won’t give in
I’ll keep on searching till the end of the world

Freedom, that’s all I need
Don’t ever try to put a chain on me
My freedom, I won’t give in
I’ll keep on searching till the end of the world

All the friends I had, way back then
Grew up and settled down
Guess I’ll never learn to compromise
Praise the Lord, I’m still unbound

Freedom
Don’t ever try to put a chain on me
My freedom, I won’t give in
I’ll keep on, I’ll keep on searching for

Freedom, I won’t give in
Don’t ever try to put a chain on me
My freedom, that’s all I need
I’ll keep on searching till the end of the world
