Aha aha aha
Pour toi
Pour toi je mourrais cent fois
Mais pourquoi
Faudrait en passer par la
J'ai peur
Jamais connu le bonheur
Oh si tu veux plus de moi d'ah ah ah ah

Je fais n'importe quoi

Quatre heures
Quatre heures que je marche dans les rues
Perdue
Ma tкte se souvient mкme plus
Oh j'ai peur
Et je connais зa par coeur
Si tu veux plus de moi ah ah ah ah
Je fais n'importe quoi

Je cogne dans les murs
Je sais mкme plus tricher, jouer aux durs
Regarde un peu cette allure
Moi ma vie c'est toi
Et je prйfиre rester sans bouger comme зa
Si tu veux plus de moi ah ah ah ah

Oh je vois clair
Je vois bien que fait plus ton affaire
Je pleure pas
Mкme зa j'y arrive mкme pas
Mais j'ai peur
Sans adieu et sans fleurs
Si tu veux plus de moi ah ah ah ah
Je fais n'importe quoi

Je fais n'importe quoi

Je cogne dans les murs
Je sais mкme plus tricher jouer aux durs
Regarde un peu cette allure

Oh pour toi
Pour toi je mourrais cent fois
Oh pour toi pour toi je mourrais cent fois

Si tu veux plus de moi
Si tu veux plus de moi

Si tu veux plus de moi
Si tu veux plus de moi
