I don't know why she went dancing
At Saint-Jean, at the musette dances
But when that guy stole a kiss from her
She shivered, was smitten
How could you not lose your head
Held tight by those daring arms?
'Cause you always believe the sweet words of love
When they're spoken with the eyes
She thought he was the handsomest in Saint-Jean
Powerless under his kisses
No longer thinking, she gave him
Smooth-talker every time he lied
She knew it, but she loved him
How could you not lose your head
Held tight by those daring arms?
'Cause you always believe the sweet words of love
When they're spoken with the eyes
She thought he was the handsomest in Saint-Jean
Powerless under his kisses
But alas, in Saint-Jean like elsewhere
A vow is just a sham
She was crazy to believe in happiness
And to want to keep her heart
How could you not lose your head
Held tight by those daring arms?
'Cause you always believe the sweet words of love
When they're spoken with the eyes
She thought he was the handsomest in Saint-Jean
Powerless under his kisses
She thought he was the handsomest in Saint-Jean
He doesn't love her anymore
Let's not talk about it anymore
He doesn't love her anymore
Let's not talk about it anymore
