Maman
Maman laisse-moi sortir ce soir
Maman j'ai fini mes devoirs
Maman je ne suis plus un enfant
Tu oublie que j'ai douze ans
Que je suis un homme
Maman laisse-moi sortir ce soir
Maman je te promet
D'être le premier de la classe
De travailler mes deux traces
Maman laisse-moi sortir ce soir

Maman laisse-moi sortir ce soir
Maman j'ai fini mes devoirs
Maman c'est un secret entre nous
Ne mets pas, des pas du tout
Donne-moi ma chance
Maman j'ai rendez-vous ce soir
Oh Maman si tu savais
C'es la plus jolie fille du lycée




Maman laisse-moi sortir ce soir
Maman laisse-moi sortir ce soir
