Michel Polnareff Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Il est des mots qu'on peut penser
Mais à pas dire en société
Moi je me fous de la société
Et de sa prétendue moralité

J'aimerais simplement faire l'amour avec toi
J'aimerais simplement faire l'amour avec toi
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Bien sûr, moi, je pourrais te dire
Que je n'vis que par ton sourire
Que tes yeux sont de tous les yeux, les plus bleus
La la la, la la la

Moi je veux faire l'amour avec toi
Moi je veux faire l'amour avec toi
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

D'aucuns diront, on ne peut pas
Parler à une jeune fille comme ca
Ceux-là le font, mais ne le disent pas
Moi, c'est un rêve et ce soir c'est pour ça

Que moi je veux faire l'amour avec toi
Que moi je veux faire l'amour avec toi

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
