Discovered by Luc Plamondon singing American blues tunes in small Sherbrooke bars, he was drafted by Plamondon to play the role of Quasimodo in his musical Notre-Dame de Paris, making him a star. After the musical, he managed to launch a successful international pop music career in Quebec, France, and many other European countries. His looks and hoarse voice, as well as the virility that he combines with a boyish niceness, brought many to see him as a major modern day sex symbol.

All the Way
Garou Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I'd know you better
Then it wouldn't be so hard
Face to face we're heads up
Our future's written in the cards
I bet it's gonna cost
For me to buy your trust
I wanna go all the way
But something tells me that won't happen

You're starting to take this game too far
I wanna go all the way
But going there would leave me broken
Heading up straight into contradiction
I gotta stop gambling that sweet addiction
I guess you got me blind
When you led me by the hand There can't be 3 of this kind
Only you and I can stand
You called me
If you raise me up I am all in
I wanna go all the way
But something tells me that won't happen
You're starting to take this game too far
I wanna go all the way
But going there would leave me broken
Heading up straight into contradiction
I gotta stop gamble that sweet addiction
There's just one too many consequences
Down the river it can break
If you just pretend and still believe it
You will lie down with your faith
If you really wanna play
Together we can make it happen
You shouldn't push this game too far
I wanna go all the way
But going there will leave me broken

Heading up straight into contradiction
I gotta stop gambling that sweet...... addiction

Спасибо Garou за Весь Путь, который мы преодолеваем разными, но параллельными дорогами, практически держась за руки. Благодарю за поддержку

Going straight to this sweet addiction...I don't know....love is a game to play... But for me it is not just a game. It's a relationship between two humans who have decided to live a piece of their life together... but it's just a dream! Very nice song!
