First there was Natasha

But before that, there was Nathalie

Then right after, there was Laura

And after that, there was Aurélie

Obviously, there was Emma

My Emmanuelle and my Sophie

And of course there was Eva and Valérie

But my love, my love

You know there's only you

And that I'll love you forever

Yes, my love, my love

You know there's only you

And that I'll love you forever

My love, yeah, I promise

Yes, it was the last time

And I promise I've told you everything

You won't discover anything else

No other girl in our bed

They landed me in a fine mess

Yeah, sure I chose

But not those ones

My love, my love

You know there's only you

And that I'll love you forever

No, it's not what you think

I know, it sounds weird

No, it's not my fault

Probably just bad luck

Why are you leaving? It was the last time

It was just a one-night stand, it didn't count

Anyway, I know deep down

You kinda like a**holes

My love, my love

You know there's only you

And that I'll love you forever

Since you left, life doesn't taste the same

The sheets don't smell the same

Since I've been doing the laundry

But what does he have that I don't?

Does he have a bigger d*ck than me?

How many times a month do you do it?

And which closet are my underwear in?

But my love, my love

You know there's only you

And that I'll love you forever

Yes, my love, my love

You know there's only you

And that I'll love you forever

But why? Why?

Life is so unfair

Tell me, tell me

What he has

That I don't, tell me

What exactly I did

Why? Why?

Life is so unfair

Tell me, tell me

What he has

That I don't, tell me

What exactly I did

Why? Why?

Life is so unfair

SONG MEANING

Mon Amour is Stromae’s witty take on the classic love-song format. Over an irresistibly danceable beat, the Belgian word-smith plays the role of a hopeless charmer who swears eternal devotion to his partner… right after naming a parade of past flings: Natasha, Nathalie, Laura, Aurélie, and many more. The contrast is hilarious and revealing: every sugary “je t’aimerai pour toujours” collides with yet another awkward confession, turning the song into a playful satire of serial infidelity and paper-thin excuses.

As the verses unfold, the narrator’s confidence crumbles into jealousy and insecurity. He pleads, bargains, and even nit-picks about laundry while wondering if his rival is “better” in every possible way. Beneath the humor lies a sharp commentary on fragile masculinity and the absurd lengths people go to save face after betraying trust. By mixing catchy melodies with tongue-in-cheek storytelling, Stromae invites listeners to dance, laugh, and reflect on how easily “mon amour” can lose its meaning when actions speak louder than words.
