J'aimerais te dire que je te suis fidèle
I would like to tell you that I am faithful to you
Mais d'abord je trouve que ça serait pas bien
But first of all I don't think it would be good
Car vois-tu ce n'est pas vrai
Because you see it's not true
Et autant qu'tu saches
And as far as you know
A quoi t'en tenir avec moi
What do you have with me?
Non jamais je ne t'ai rien promis de tel
No, I never promised you anything like that
Au tout début tu trouvais ça très bien
At the very beginning you thought it was very good
Maintenant qu'tu l'as oublié
Now that you forgot it
Tu trouves que c'est vache
You think it's stupid
Mais moi je vois pas en quoi
But I don't see how
J'y peux rien c'est la vie qui veut ça
I can't help it, it's life that wants that
C'est la vie, ça n'est pas moi
It's life, it's not me
Moi je voudrais bien être autrement
I would like to be otherwise
Mais j'vois pas comment
But I don't see how
Souviens-toi la première fois à l'hôtel
Remember the first time at the hotel
Tu m'as dit qu'j'étais une petite putain
You told me I was a little whore
Alors t'aurais préféré
So you would have preferred
Que je te le cache
That I hide it from you
Mais moi je vois pas pourquoi
But I don't see why
Si tu veux m'garder il faut me prendre telle quelle
If you want to keep me you have to take me as is
Et t'faire à l'idée que j'ai des copains
And get used to the idea that I have friends
Moi j'te dis la vérité
I tell you the truth
Et tout d'suite tu t'fâches
And immediately you get angry
Il y'a vraiment pas de quoi
There's really nothing
J'y peux rien c'est la vie qui veut ça
I can't help it, it's life that wants that
C'est la vie, ça n'est pas moi
It's life, it's not me
Moi je voudrais bien être autrement
I would like to be otherwise
Mais j'vois pas comment
But I don't see how
