oh baby come on
i can't live without it (no i can't)
i need that one that twice that three
just give me that smile
donne moi ce sourire
donne moi ce sourire
que je l'ajoute a ma collec'
en plus dans ma smile-otheque
avec celui qui dessine des concepts
say cheeeese ! car le petit oiseau va sortir
3,2,1 et immortaliser ce sourire.
just give me that smile
laisse moi te tirer le portrait
j'suis un maniaque d'images
un sourire a chaque mots
sourire a chaque notes
sourire a chaques visages
prendre ses poses pour figer le temps
faire kiffer les gens et
voir briller briller briller
just give me that smile
