(i Never Loved) Eva Braun Lyrics

I never loved Eva Braun (oh no?)

No, a thousand people say I did (oh yeah?)

Yeah, she was just some girl who was on the make (Yes, we see)

Boy she wanted to be so big.

And in the end it got to be a drag,

She's doing her exercises every day

No matter what people say,

I never loved Eva Braun.



I never heard all the screams (oh no?)

I never saw the blood and dirt and gore (oh yeah?)

That wasn't part of the dream, (yes, we see)

Of maps and generals and uniforms.

I'd always like the big parade,

I always wanted to be adored,

In '33 I knew I had it made, 

I never loved....



Eva Braun wasn't history,

She wasn't even part of my destiny

She never really fitted in the scheme of things

She was a triumph of my will,

Oh yeah!



I saw the blondies and the blue eyes, (oh yeah?)

I saw the millions mouthing me, (oh yeah?)

But underneath I was really gentle, (oh yeah?)

D'ja ever see me touch a scrap of meat?

O yeah I conquered all those countries

They were weak an' I was strong

A little too ambitious maybe,

But I never loved Eva Braun.

Gee!
