(feat. Zazie)

Rose je lis

Tous les romans
A l'eau de rose
Rose
J'en souligne des passages
Au crayon rose

Chorus :
Sur sa bouche je pose
Mes deux lèvres roses
Je l'aime car il suppose
Qu'aimer est toujours rose

Rose
Le bonheur m'obsède

A la névrose
Rose
Là où il y a du gris
Je mets du rose

Chorus

Rose
La couleur de tes joues
Quand glissent mes bas roses
Rose
Je m'ouvre si tu presses
Le bouton rose





Chorus
