T'es bath
T′es in
T'es ok
T'es bath
T′es in
J'ai tellement de problèmes
Donne-moi ton adresse
Je veux quelqu′un qui m'aime
T′as besoin de tendresse
T'as tellement de problèmes
Supporte ta jeunesse
Et viens boire un café crème
T′es ok
T'es bath
T'es in
T′es ok
T′es bath
T'es in
Tu me dis que je suis une fille super
Mais j′aime trop ma liberté
T'es mignon, t′es sympa, tu m'as l′air sincère
Mais j'vais pas t'épouser
Tu peux m′appeler après huit heures
Au 310-24-32
On pourra si tu veux
Aller au ciné
Et si t′es pas fatigué
Ensuite on ira partager
Le meilleur strawberry sundae
Des Champs Elysées
T'es ok (t′es ok)
T'es bath (t′es bath)
T'es in (t′es in)
T'es ok (t'es ok)
T′es bath (t′es bath)
T'es in (t′es in)
La vie est plus facile
Quand on la vit à deux
Le bonheur est moins fragile
Quand on est amoureux
La vie est plus facile
Quand on la vit à deux
Mais un jour une fille
Te rendra malheureux
T'es ok (t′es ok)
T'es bath (t′es bath)
T'es in (t'es in)
T′es ok (t′es ok)
T'es bath (t′es bath)
T'es in (t′es in)
T'es ok (t′es ok)
T'es bath (t'es bath)
T′es in (t′es in)
Tu me dis que je suis une fille super
Mais tu n'es pas le premier
T′es mignon, t'es sympa, tu m′as l'air sincère
Mais j′vais pas t'épouser
Au lieu de rester là
À philosopher
Viens plutôt danser
Viens plutôt chanter
T'es ok (t′es ok)
T′es bath (t'es bath)
T′es in (t'es in)
T′es ok (t'es ok)
T′es bath (t'es bath)

T′es bath (t'es bath)
T′es in (t'es in)
T′es ok (t'es ok)
T'es bath (t′es bath)
