Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que les prises de tête, ça dure depuis des mois (ooh)
Baby, si tu souffres, c'est qu'il ne te mérite pas, nooo
Faut mettre un terme à tout ça (ouais)
Faut vraiment qu'tu fasses ton choix
Tu as la classe et ce sourire qui me fait frissonner
En tout cas, j'ferai tout pour qu'tu t'décides à changer
Charly
Laisse-toi aller et move ton body
Mets de côté tous tes soucis
Car avec toi, j'ai envie de danser toute la nuit
Charly
Ce qu'il te faut, c'est un gars comme moi
Qui sait y faire même quand ça ne va pas
Et qui sache prendre soin de toi
Tou pou lou hou hou
Je me sens si bien lorsque je suis près de toi (baby)
Un plaisir sans fin que je consomme à
Chaque fois que tu poses les yeux sur moi
Chaque fois que j'entends le son d'ta voix
Et chaque fois que tu souris, je suis séduit (ooh)
Je n'sais rien sur toi, mais mon instinct ne m'trompe pas
Tu me plais et le gâcher ça, je ne pourrai pas
Charly
Laisse-toi aller et move ton body
Mets de côté tous tes soucis
