Ev'ry time I feel alone
I can blame it on you
And I do, oh
You got me like a loaded gun
Golden sun and sky so blue, oh
We both know that we want it
But we both know you left me no choice
~Chorus~
(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je prétends que tout va bien)
So I'm countin' my tears
Till I get over you
Sometimes I watch the world go by
I wonder what it's like, (ho-oh) ooh
To wake up every single day
Smile on your face
You never tried (You never tried)
We both know
We can't change it
But we both know
We'll just have to face it
~Chorus~
(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je prétends que tout va bien)
So I'm countin' my tears
Till I get over you
If only I could give you up
But would I want to let you off
Of this soapbox, baby, yeah
We both know that we want it
But we both know
You left me no choice
~Chorus~
(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je prétends que tout va bien)
So I'm countin' my tears
Till I get over you
We both know that I'm not over you
I'm not over you
French lyrics translation*
Chaque fois que tu t'en vas,
je pretends que tout va bien:
[Whenever you leave,
I claim that all is well
Every time you walk away,
I pretend that I'm okay.]
