You are like a bird way up so high... (cher amour, je te delire)
but, you don't have the wings to make a flight.
If I knew French, I'd say "flee, fla, flay, le pew."
I don't know what that means, but I still love you... (Je t'aime mon amie).
You are like a rose blooming so proud...
but, you don't have the thorns to cut my frown.
If I knew French, I'd say "flee, fla, flay, le pew."
I don't know what that means, but I still love you... (Je t'aime mon amie).
And, if I tarnish my wings, I think that you would come and catch my flight.
Turn around and leave these things, and maybe you would come and save my life.
And, for a hand so sweet, you know I said I'd take the plunge...
You are like a princess riding a carriage...
but, you don't have political value in marriage.
If I knew French, I'd say "flee, fla, flay, le pew."
I don't know what that means, but I still love you... (Je t'aime mon amie).
You are like a bird...
