C'est la vie
B★Witched Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What? Are you serious?
Ah, ohh, hey, hey
Ah, ohh
Ah, ohh
I say, hey boy, sittin' in your tree
Don't be shy, straighten up your tie
Get down from your tree house, sittin' in the sky
I want to know just what to do
Is it very big, is there room for two?
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey
Let the fun begin, hey
I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me, "C'est la vie"
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me, "C'est la vie"
Do you play with the girls, play with the boys?
Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys?
We can talk, we can sing
I'll be the queen and you'll be the king
Hey boy, in your tree
Thrown down your ladder, make a room for me
I got a house with windows and doors
I'll show you mine if you show me yours
Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey
Let the fun begin, hey
I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey
I'll huff, I'll puff
I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me, "C'est la vie"
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me, "C'est la vie"
Huh, huh
Na na na hey
Na na na ho
Na na na hey
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me, won't you say "C'est la vie"
Say you will, say you won't
Say you'll do what I don't
Say you're true, say to me (huh, huh, huh), "C'est la vie"
Na na na hey
Na na na ho
Na na na hey
Huh, huh, huh
"C'est la vie!"
The song "C'est La Vie" by B★Witched is a playful and flirty tune about a girl trying to get the attention of a boy who is sitting up in his treehouse. The opening lines joke about people thinking she looks like her dad, hinting at the song's overall tone of lightheartedness. The girl then begins to beckon the boy to come down from his tree and meet her, playing on the classic children's storybook theme of a wolf trying to enter the house of the three little pigs.
Throughout the song, the girl is portrayed as confident and sassy, flirting with the boy and asking provocative questions such as "Is it very big, is there room for two?" The chorus asks the boy to make a decision and either commit to her or not. The repetition of "Say you will, say you won't, say you'll do what I don't" emphasizes this point and adds to the playful nature of the song.
Overall, "C'est La Vie" is a fun and carefree song that encourages listeners to not take love too seriously and to have fun with their crushes. It's the perfect tune for a summer day or a night out with friends.

Unless you were a teenager when this song came out, you have absolutely no idea how much of a bop this was in high school. Absolute classic.
