Oh-oh
Je faisais les pecs, elle faisait les legs
Je vendais zipette quand elle faisait l'air
Ses yeux et ses lèvres m'inspiraient tellement
Qu'un jour madame m'a rendu riche et célèbre
J'l'ai mis sur le tec à cause de la fame
J'suis vrai Sagittaire, j'suis loup solitaire
Elle m'parle dans la tête
Elle imagine un gyro, man, la flemme
J'suis bas
J'ai repris des mois sur ma peine
Ma belle, fuis pas
Dans quelques problèmes tu seras plus la même
Toi tu t'es pris pour la Reine d'Angleterre
Mais dans les clubs t'es que la Reine de Neiges
Échouée telle une bouteille à la mer
T'aimes Louboutin, Lamborghini, Lafayette
Le Caviar, les truffes, les strass et paillettes
Mon succès t'est monté à la tête
Impossible que j'te présente à ma mère
Elle remue l'couteau dans la plaie
Elle l'a sorti de ses bas-résilles
Même si je cours à ma perte, de l'hypnose à la paralysie
Elle remue l'couteau dans la plaie
Pris toute la place dans mon cœur et ma tête
Elle remue l'couteau dans la plaie
Pourquoi ça fait si mal?
J'suis loup solitaire, le cœur est si noir
J'peux pas me noyer dans la Belvé'
Elle m'fait oublier tous les soucis
J'me pose avec dans l'jacuzzi
J'aime quand elle me montre sa jalousie
T'étais là bien avant la musique
T'étais là bien avant ces groupies
T'étais là bien avant mon public
Quand j'te vois, mon cœur fait des loopings
Et j'ai des problèmes, fidélité, je ne pense pas te mériter
Et même si j'aime aller draguer
Celui qui t'parles mal, je vais l'braquer
Désolé d't'avoir fait du mal
J'aime trop la chatte, j'y suis pour rien
Je n'saurais pas te dire "je t'aime"
Te faire un câlin dès l'matin
Je n'suis qu'un homme, j'ai mes défauts
Mais j'ai aussi mes qualités
Mon amour, j'suis un fuyard
Mais celui qui t'drague, j'vais l'tarifer
C'est toi ma femme, c'est pas les autres
Personne pourra me remplacer
Je veux qu'une chose, que tu reviennes
Tout ce que je veux, c'est t'enlacer
Elle remue l'couteau dans la plaie
Elle l'a sorti de ses bas-résilles
Même si je cours à ma perte, de l'hypnose à la paralysie
Elle remue l'couteau dans la plaie
Pris toute la place dans mon cœur et ma tête
Elle remue l'couteau dans la plaie
Pourquoi ça fait si mal?
J'suis loup solitaire, le cœur est si noir
Elle remue l'couteau dans la plaie
Même si je cours à ma perte
Elle remue l'couteau dans la plaie
Pris toute la place dans mon cœur et ma tête
The lyrics for "Solitaire" by Face to Face tell the story of a man who apparently became successful in part thanks to a woman with whom he was involved. However, their relationship has soured, and he finds himself alone and pining for her. The first verse describes their initial interactions – he worked on his upper body, while she focused on her legs, and he sold drugs while she had an air of elegance about her. Despite the apparent differences between them, he found her inspiring, and she helped him become rich and famous.
The second verse takes a darker turn, as he reveals that he ended up in trouble with the law because of his fame. He shows up at her house with blood on his shoes and a sense of isolation, calling himself a "lone wolf" and admitting that he hears her voice in his head. The chorus repeats the refrain "she stirs the knife in the wound" and wonders why it hurts so much. The third verse reveals that the woman is no longer interested in the singer, and she is more concerned with material things than with him. Despite this, he still has strong feelings for her and can't imagine being with anyone else. The song ends with the singer expressing a desire to reunite with the woman and resume their relationship.
Overall, "Solitaire" is a melancholy and introspective song that explores the pain of lost love and the difficulty of moving on. The lyrics are emotive and raw, conveying a sense of vulnerability and heartbreak. The contrast between the more upbeat music and the lyrics adds to the overall emotional impact of the song, and the use of French phrases and references to luxury brands adds a sense of refinement and sophistication.

I'm not so bulletproof
But this is something
I could never say to you
This sometimes buries me
And I don't know if this is someone I can be
I tell myself it's right
Still feels so wrong
It's better than nothing
I'd rather not be here all by myself
It's better than nothing here with someone else
It's better than nothing
I'd rather not be standing here alone
It's better than feeling like you're on your own
I'm not so culpable
I never meant for this to get out of control
