First there was Natasha
But before, there was Nathalie
Then right after, there was Laura
And then, 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 will love you forever
Yes, my love, my love
You know there's only you
And that I will love you forever
My love, yes, it's promised
Yes, it was the last time
And I promise you that I've told you everything
You won't discover anything else
No other girl in our bed
They put me in a fine mess
Yes, of course I chose
But not those ones
My love, my love
You know there's only you
And that I will love you forever (forever)
No, it's not what you think
I know, it seems weird
No, it's not my fault
But probably the fault of chance
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 like them, the a**holes
My love, my love (yes, my love)
You know there's only you
And that I will love you forever (yes, forever)
Since you left, life doesn't have the same flavor
The sheets don't have the same smell
Since I've been doing the laundry
But what does he have more than me?
Does he have a bigger one than me?
How many times a month do you do it?
And then, in which closet are my briefs?
But my love, my love
You know there's only you
And that I will love you forever
Yes, my love, my love
You know there's only you
And that I will love you forever
But why? Why?
Life is so unfair
Tell me, tell me
What does he have more
Than me, tell me
What did I do, exactly
Why? Why?
Life is so unfair
Tell me, tell me
What does he have more
Than me, tell me
What did I do, exactly
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.
