Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (abbreviated GmbH, GesmbH or Ges.m.b.H.) (English: company with limited liability) is a type of legal entity very common in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and other Central European countries. The name of the GmbH form emphasizes the fact that the owners (Gesellschafter, also known as members) of the entity are not personally liable for the company's debts.GmbHs are considered legal persons under German law.
The laws governing this type of legal entity were adopted in Germany in 1892, and in Austria in 1906. The concept of limited liability created by these laws inspired the legal establishment of the limited liability company form in other countries, although the concept of a limited liability company already existed in the United Kingdom. Other variations include mbH (used when the term Gesellschaft is part of the company name itself), and gGmbH (gemeinnützige GmbH) for non-profit companies.
The GmbH has become the most common corporation form in Germany, since the AG (Aktiengesellschaft), the other major company form corresponding to a stock corporation, was until recently much more complicated to form and operate.
In the morning and in the evening
When you think you’re alone
Too many hours in your apartment
Has made me hard a stone
I tried to crack you
I told you you’re the one
But you must have though that i was gone
I told you a lot of lies just to get laid
But your heart is hard as a stone
You’re a vicious but i’m a man
I’m gonna do what i can to remain hard as a stone
That little pigeon where did you find it?
I had to break her every bone
Eleven hours in your pool
No wonder i’m hard as a stone
She was delicious now i’m a star
If you wanna be what you are you better be hard as a stone
(the chorus)
You’re mean, but i’m a man
It’s not exactly what i planned but it seems i’m hard as a stone
