The song is based on two verses, a chorus , a bridge and an outro . The song begins with the first verse, which is made up of four lines. The first verse is followed by a so-called pre-chorus and finally the actual refrain. The same process is repeated with the second stanza. The second chorus ends with a so-called post-chorus, which only consists of the repetitive line “Please love, love” ( English for “Please Liebling, Liebling”). The end of the chorus is followed by the bridge and this is followed by the chorus with its renewed post-chorus, before the piece ends with the outro.
