Bad Boys Blue was formed in the summer of 1984 by German producer Tony Hendrik and his lyricist wife Karin Van Harren. Hendrik was looking to create an alternative to the hugely successful German group Modern Talking. Ironically, Dieter Bohlen, mastermind and song writer of Modern Talking, is often incorrectly credited with developing their signature sound and being their producer. The original trio comprised of American Andrew Thomas, British John McInerney, and Jamaican Trevor Taylor - the original lead vocalist. The debut single L.O.V.E In My Car failed to make an impression in the pop charts but the follow-up You're A Woman was a massive success, reaching the top 10 in many European countries.

This other place and so far from home.
I was alone. I was all on my own.
The moon was shining.
I saw her face.
The magic woman all dressed in lace.
She gave me a sigh.
And I followed her to a house of light.
Somewhere in the night.
Behind the window. Symbols of red.
Painting the face of the lady in black.
Behind the window. I'll never forget.
The magic lady. The lady in black
She'll never come back
The lady's beauty was so divine.
She took my heart with her heavenly smile.
When I reached down just to kiss her hand.
I suddenly tumbled down in the sand.
There was broken lace lying on the ground.
And the house of light was fading in the night.
