Emilie
Madame Kay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I faut que je sache où tu en es
Même si notre histoire est finie
Qu'on est partis sans se retourner
C'est pas que je t'aime
Mais j'ais un problème
Emilie,
Qui a cette nuit
Dormi dans ton lit ?
Oh, Emilie,
Oh, je t'en supplie
Maintenant que c'est fini
Qui prend ma place dans ta vie
Je demande pas de tous savoir
Tu fais ce que tu veux de ta vie
Mais j'ai son ombre dans mon miroir
J'le connais pas, mais je vois que lui
Et je l'imagine
Enlever ton jean !
Qui prend ma place dans ton lit ?
Car je n'en dort plus la nuit,
Alors parle moi de lui
Pour qu'enfin on s'oublie
Emilie jolie
Tue moi je t'en prie
T'en fais pas pour lui
J'le tuerais aussi
