Verse 1
You tell me we're alive
But I have to tell you
We'll always have issues
The two of us are for life
You've always been my dope
I lured you into my nets
I'll always be your wife
Until I decide otherwise
Prechorus
The more I annoy you, the more you come back
That's how I keep you
There's too much dirt, too much dirt, in our ways
There's too much dirt, too much dirt, in our business
No time, no time
Prechorus
You've got to take it easy
No time, no time

All that gossip, I don't care
Everything gets out, don't act smart
I love to play, I love being a player, I know it, I know
It always ends in a hug
I couldn't see myself without you
You're not in the mood, come on, let's go
There's everything you're looking for in me
Stay cool, baby, let's go
No time, no time
Verse 2
You've got to take it easy
No time, no time

ailleurselsewhere

Ailleurs means "elsewhere" or "somewhere else". It's a common word, but in this song, it carries a strong emotional weight and a sense of longing.

The repeated phrase "Je veux que tu m'emmènes ailleurs" (I want you to take me elsewhere) isn't just about a physical location. It expresses a desire for escape, a change from current circumstances, or a different kind of relationship. This makes it a central and evocative word in the song's narrative.

"Ailleurs" is Aya Nakamura singing about a relationship that runs on intensity rather than ease. She wants to be taken somewhere else, away from the noise of gossip and a life that never slows down ("pas le temps").

The verses are candid about how she keeps her partner close - admitting she pulled him in on purpose and that the more she pushes him away, the more he comes back. It's less a love song than a portrait of a magnetic, slightly messy connection, one she's honest about instead of romanticizing.

"Ailleurs" (elsewhere) becomes the escape hatch: whatever's happening between them, all she wants is to get away from everything else and just be with him, somewhere far from the drama.
