Eurovision Song Contest Wiki

"Violent Thing" was to be the German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam, performed by Slovene singer Ben Dolić.

Due to the country's status as a "Big Five" nation, it had direct qualification for the final but as the Contest was later cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic it was not performed.

Got that thing that I can't deny
Killing me soft with the big brown eyes
Such a violent thing, would you let me know
Knocking me down like a domino, oh

You know that I'm right here, I'm working on love
I'm waiting on something I need
I think that you, you know
You know what I want
You got me on the edge of my seat

Oh, don't tell your mama what you're doing tonight
Twenty-four hours ago you got that look in your eyes
Don't need your number, 'cause I know you be there
Up in the light and the beat don't lie, we're crystal clear
'Cause if I got you with me tonight
Feeling like I'm feeling tonight
Don't tell your mama
Oh, you're such a violent thing
Oh, you're such a violent thing

Shouldn't hide, we're getting low
Guns and roses all along
And I wanna hear what you gotta say
But you won't give me no audio, oh

You know that I'm right here, I'm working on love
I'm waiting on something I need
I think that you, you know
You know what I want
You got me on the edge of my seat

Oh, don't tell your mama what you're doing tonight
Twenty-four hours ago you got that look in your eyes
Don't need your number, 'cause I know you be there
Up in the light and the beat don't lie, we're crystal clear
'Cause if I got you with me tonight
Feeling like I'm feeling tonight
Don't tell your mama
Oh, you're such a violent thing
Oh, you're such a violent thing

You know that I'm right here, I'm working on love
I'm waiting on something I need
I think that you, you know
You know what I want
You got me on the edge of my seat

Oh, don't tell your mama what you're doing tonight
Twenty-four hours ago you got that look in your eyes
Don't need your number, 'cause I know you be there
Up in the light and the beat don't lie, we're crystal clear
'Cause if I got you with me tonight
Feeling like I'm feeling tonight
Don't tell your mama
Oh, you're such a violent thing
Oh, you're such a violent thing

Don't tell your mama
Oh, you're such a violent thing
