I am as young as I'm feeling
I'm always 21, I am always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
I'm always 21 at heart, love listen to me
I need somebody to stay beside me
Cause I've got a hungry heart

I'm gonna get a Man who can fulfill my dreams
On the top of the world I don't wanna be alone
No no no not me
C'est la vie, c'est la vie,
On the road tonight
Love is good for you, always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie,
On my own tonight
Love will come to you, you're always 21
Love is a liar, but I'm a trier,
Give it another go
I k now you have another, yes I have seen her,
I wonder who she is
Does she kiss you the way
That I used to kiss you
I bet she wonders

Love will come to you, you're always 21
C'est la vie
I get older everyday
But I will fight it till the end
There's a man for me to have and to hold
Easy come and easy go
Once bitten but not for long
And as young as I'm feeling
Yes I am
C'est la vie, c'est la vie,
On my own tonight
Love will come to you
You are always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie,
On my own tonight
Life is good for you, always 21
You are always 21
Always, always, always
Life is good for you, you are always 21
Forever you are always 21
