I write to her, I admit
It was yesterday at our place
New traps, it's heavy
I feel her eyes, love
But it's not for her that I melt
Since deep down
She doesn't like blondes
But it's not for her that I leave
Regarding me
Her heart declares
She doesn't really want it
So, I stay with you my darling
She doesn't want me
Too bad, so I stay
With you my darling
She doesn't really want it
So, I stay with you my darling
She doesn't want me
Too bad, so I stay with you
I stay with you
I think of her, it's lame
Deep inside, I burn
Focus on you and me
I leave her there, it's dead
But it's not for her that I melt
Since deep down
She doesn't like blondes
But it's not for her that I leave
Regarding me
Her heart declares
She doesn't really want it
So, I stay with you my darling
She doesn't want me
Too bad, so I stay
With you my darling
She doesn't really want it
So, I stay with you my darling
She doesn't want me
Too bad, so I stay with you
I stay with you
Hello, listen I thought it over
It was cool but you and me
It's not going to work
Anyway, take care of yourself
Bye
She doesn't want it
I stay for you my darling
She doesn't really want it
So, I stay with you my darling
She doesn't want me
Too bad, so I stay
With you my darling
She doesn't really want it
So, I stay with you my darling
She doesn't want me
Too bad, so I stay with you
I stay with you

SONG MEANING

“Ma Chérie” is a playful confession about a fleeting crush and a loyal heart. Stéphane tells us that he has been tempted by someone new, yet this mystery girl simply “doesn’t like blondes” and, more importantly, “doesn’t really feel like it.” Faced with her gentle rejection and a voice-message goodbye, our narrator snaps back to reality: why chase someone who is clearly uninterested when he already has a loving partner? The repeated line “Alors, je reste avec toi, ma chérie” becomes both a promise and a celebration of the steady relationship he almost overlooked.

The song mixes humor and honesty. We hear the sting of unreturned feelings, but also the relief of choosing the person who actually cares. Stéphane’s lyrics turn what could be a sad story into a light, catchy reminder that real affection beats daydream crushes every time. Grab the chorus, sing along, and remember: sometimes the best decision is to stay right where the love is.
