Baby, You Smell

[Chorus]
Hey, Baby, sometimes you smell
Hey, Baby, you smell like party-nights and sweat
Hey, Baby, you don’t smell like all the others
And that’s exactly what gets me hot.
(x2)
 
[Verse I]
Babygirl, I hope you remember accurately:
The first time we saw each other, we were drunk.
But we looked deep into each other’s eyes,
And I knew that more than just boozing was going on,
Because when your breath rose into my nose, I got horny.
I said, “Shawty, this is turning into more than just a party.
You smell, by turns, like long-drinks, booze, beer and disco,
But you’re unique, baby, I love you, oh…”
 
[Bridge]
And whenever I’m alone, I think of last night
When you were still with me.
But when the wind changes direction, then I breathe in deeply
And know that we’re close.
 
[Chorus] x 2
 
[Verse II]
We totally like one another;1 you’re Paradise to me
Because you smell like the Westfalenstadion2 after a win:
Beer and adrenaline-sweat. Take me in your arms
And let me sleep in your headlock3 tonight.
The way to your heart is through your stomach, for me it’s only through the nose.4
You lie next to me in bed and eat an onion complete with its skin.
You have something of goats or sheep about you, [and] a little bit of carp.
Baby, do me a favor and never bathe again for me.
 
[Bridge]
 
[Chorus] x 2
 
[Verse III]
On the first date, I thought it was just my shoes,
And on the second, I still thought it was my bachelor pad.
Eventually I hoped that, thanks to a hot shower
Everything would be cool again, but I supposed something like that.
At the start I simply bore with it, then later I enjoyed it
And learned to appreciate it. Notice that the window stays closed,
Because I like it. The way you smell, it’s got something magical, babe
It’s crazy, I’m in love with your booze-breath.
 
[Bridge]
 
[Chorus] x 2
 
  • 1. Play on words using the word "riechen" (smell). The phrase literally means "We can totally smell each other well", but humorously/idiomatically means "We totally like one another".
  • 2. The football (i.e. soccer) stadium where the professional team Borussia Dortmund plays.
  • 3. Another play on words, referring to the theme of the lyrics. "Schwitzkasten" literally means "sweat box".
  • 4. Literally, "For you, love goes through the stomach, for me only through the nose."
