Louise
camille jansen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got to go
You don't love me anymore
You've found reasons to hate me
You will come around eventually

Why is it that I long for you
Driving down these avenues
I feel so blue, sitting right here
Beside you

You see, Louise, she's a woman
Of love and patience, she's a woman
She comes and goes as she pleases
You've seen her dance, you've seen her move
The way she walks, the way she grooves
She comes and goes as she pleases

You've seen a lot of things
But kept them from my eyes to see
Goodbye, then, sweet old friend
I wonder when I'll see you again

You see, Louise, she's a woman
Of love and patience, she's a woman
She comes and goes as she pleases
You've seen her dance, you've seen her move




The way she walks, the way she grooves
She comes and goes as she pleases
