c'est la vie
B * Witched Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people say I look like my dad
What? Are you serious?

Ah, ohh, hey, hey
Ah, ohh
Ah, ohh

I say, hey boy, sittin' in your tree
Mummy always wants you to come for tea
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!"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to B*Witched's "C'est la vie" are playful and flirty, suggesting a game of teasing and innuendo between two individuals. The first verse sets the scene, with the singer addressing a boy sitting in a tree and encouraging him to come down from his high, remote perch. She's curious about his space, if it's "very big" and if "there's room for two." This doubles as a suggestive come-on, inviting him to explore their chemistry beyond this kind of playful banter.


The chorus doubles down on the flirtation, with the singer asking the boy to "say you will" or "say you won't" follow her lead, subverting traditional gender roles and making a bold move. The second verse continues in the same vein, with the singer asking if the boy plays with other kids, or if he ever gets lonely with just his toys. She offers to be his queen to his king and encourages him to make a room for her in his treehouse.


Overall, the lyrics to "C'est la vie" are light and fun, full of youthful energy and teasing sexuality. They emphasize a sense of playfulness and experimentation, poking fun at traditional social norms and encouraging a sense of exploration and unbridled joy.

We'll find love
we'll dance
yes this is life
Lalalala

I don't regret my days with you
whatever is the distance between us
I don't regret my days with you
they gossip about us

Aha eyah aha eyah
that wound have to heal with a medicine
Aha eyah aha eyah
this night will be beautiful my love
O'Lay lay lillah

We'll find love
we'll dance
yes this is life
Lalalala

A good person came to me secretly
And tell me about what happen to me
And he told me that I'm naive
It's just a Christian1

Aha eyah aha eyah
that wound have to heal with a medicine
Aha eyah aha eyah
this night will be beautiful my love
O'Lay lay lillah

We'll find love
we'll dance
yes this is life lalalala

This is night and 1000 nights
we'll love forever

We'll find love

yes this is life lalalala
