The Sprevane or Sprevani (German: Sprewanen; Slavonic: Sprevjane) name were a Slavic tribe who lived around the river Spree, where Berlin is now, in the Brandenburg area of eastern Germany. They were first recorded in 948 and again in 965 as living in the territory of the Holy Roman Empire under Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor. Archaeological finds point to them coming to the area in the 8th century, and by 825 they started to build a settlement in today's Köpenick, a district of Berlin.
Their name is from Sprevja (the local Slavonic form of the river name Spree) plus the common Slavonic ethnic suffix -ane. The Germanized form, Sprewanen, may have been influenced by the German verb wohnen (in Old High German, wonen), meaning "to dwell".

SECTION 1:
I heard the words, now here I am
You were talking to me, I'm your super fan
I loved you then, I love you still
But if I can't have you, no-one will
Woah!
REPEAT SECTION 1
SECTION 2:
I will make you understand
I'm your super fan
SECTION 3:
I know you like it
I was watching from outside my love
I saw her leaving
She's not right for you my life, my love
I know what hurts you
Sing it to me again my life, my love
I know what hurts you
...I could hurt you
I'll track you down, I'll steal your mail
A lock of hair, some fingernails
A piece of you upon my shrine
Now you're with me all the time
REPEAT SECTION 2
REPEAT SECTION 3
