Chorus:
And me, if tonight I felt like loving
Lam Lam
May my heart overflow with suppressed tenderness
Sol 7° Do
Who will put you on my path, my beloved
Rem Lam
In my arms, I’d like to hold you tight
Mi7 (La7) Lam
There are women who think only of the ring on their finger
Sol7° Do
The beautiful dress—oh God, none of that is for me anymore
Mi7 Lam
I’d like to have a little romance
Rem Lam
I’d like to court someone
Lam
To follow love’s law
Mi7 (La7) Lam
There are women who are like lovely candlesticks
Waiting to be made to shine once more
I prefer one who catches fire
I prefer a real woman
One who knows how to give and receive
There are women who seem anchored in a harbor
And I know others who never lose their way
I know only crazy love;
The rest isn’t worth a penny.
Life is just a dream, after all.
There are women who almost have nothing left in their hearts
Who’ve loved too much or known too much sorrow
Life is what we make it;
We reap what we sow.
Come now, come, don’t be afraid.
There are women who are like doves
Cooing softly then flying away
But there are those whose hearts
Are like a bouquet of flowers;
A bouquet of marjoram.
There are women with skin like silk
Just hearing them makes your heart race
Tonight I have enough love for two;
I want to be in love,
To lose myself in your arms.
