Aussitôt que le jour se lève, tu es dans ma tête 00:08
Tu hantes mes pensées, je n'en sortirai pas inerte 00:13
Car tu as ton copain et tu tiens à lui, c'est net 00:16
Mais girl, écoute ça 00:18
Te dire que je n'veux pas te détourner, s'rait malhonnête 00:20
Tellement tu contrôles mes réactions, telle une marionnette 00:23
Pourquoi cela tourne-t-il ainsi? 00:26
Oha 00:28
Laisse-moi être celui qui partage ta vie 00:30
Oui, celui à qui tu te confies 00:33
Nul ne saura te comprendre mieux que moi 00:36
Donne moi ma chance tu verras 00:38
Au pire, celui, qui partage ta nuit 00:40
Passer quelques heures avec toi dans ce lit 00:43
Je saurai prendre soin de toi 00:46
Laisse-moi ma chance, tu verras 00:48
Mais t'imagines même pas c'que j'ressens pour toi 00:50
Un truc de dingue, j'peux même pas mettre un mot sur ça 00:53
J'aurais jamais pensé qu'un jour j'en arriverasi là 00:56
Non, le style fleur bleue, c'est vraiment pas moi 00:58
Mais j'peux rien y faire, il faut que je l'exprime 01:01
Un amour sincère dans un monde où le sexe prime 01:03
Donc je cesse frime et t'exprime mon estime girl 01:06
Tu seras ma Sylvia et moi ton Mesrine 01:09
Laisse-moi être celui qui partage ta vie 01:11
Oui, celui à qui tu te confies 01:14
Nul ne saura te comprendre mieux que moi 01:17
Donne-moi ma chance, tu verras 01:19
Au pire, celui qui partage ta nuit 01:21
Passer quelques heures avec toi dans ce lit 01:25
Je saurai prendre soin de toi 01:27
Laisse moi ma chance, tu verras 01:30
Devant ton charme exotique, je fonds comme Kim 01:32
Sensuellement ultime, limite coquine 01:35
Copine, profiter de la vie c'est la doctrine 01:37
Docteur, à mes heures perdues selon le timing 01:40
Doc Reyel pas Gynéco 01:43
Des problèmes de gals, ouais, je nnais-co 01:45
J'ai étudié la chose à mon école 01:47
Celle des guadeloupéens d'la grande époque 01:50
Laisse-moi être celui qui partage ta vie 01:52
Oui, celui à qui tu te confies 01:56
Nul ne seras te comprendre mieux que moi 01:58
Donne moi ma chance, tu verras 02:01

J'veux être celui qui t'accompagne, que tu sois ma compagne 02:13
Qu'on s'fasse des purs voyages, t'inquiètes, ça sera pas la campagne 02:15
À basses données en pagne, on pète le champagne 02:18
À Miami, Le Brésil, Le Maroc ou L'Espagne 02:21
Le reste j'te l'épargne, ouais j'te l'épargne 02:23
2, 3 bisous, un câlin sous la couette et pam (wouh) 02:26
Faut que j'redescende sur Terre 02:29
Je n'ai même pas encore ton tél' 02:31
02:34
Laisse-moi être celui qui partage ta vie 02:36
Oui, celui qui brave tes interdits 02:40
Nul ne saura te comprendre mieux que moi 02:42
Donne moi ma chance, tu verras 02:45

Tu verras, tu verras, je s'rai celui-là (Oh, no) 02:57
J'te le dit, j'te le dit, je s'rai celui-ci 03:04
Tu verras my girl, et tu verras my girl, no 03:08
J'te le dit, j'te le dit je serai celui 03:14

[English]
As soon as the day breaks, you're in my mind
You haunt my thoughts, I can't just walk away
Because you have your boyfriend and you care about him, that's clear
But girl, listen to this
Telling you I don't want to steer you away would be dishonest
Because you control my reactions, like a puppet
Why does it all turn out this way?
Oh yeah
Let me be the one who shares your life
Yes, the one you trust
No one will understand you better than I do
Give me my chance, you'll see
At worst, the one who shares your nights
Spending a few hours with you in this bed
I'll know how to take care of you
Give me my chance, you'll see
But you can't even imagine what I feel for you
It's crazy, I can't even put it into words
I never thought I'd end up here one day
No, I'm not the type to be all lovey-dovey, that's really not me
But I can't help it, I need to say it
A sincere love in a world where sex rules everything
So I stop pretending and show you my esteem, girl
You’ll be my Sylvia, and I’ll be your Mesrine
Let me be the one who shares your life
Yes, the one you trust
No one will understand you better than I do
Give me my chance, you'll see
At worst, the one who shares your night
Spending a few hours with you in this bed
I'll know how to take care of you
Give me my chance, you'll see
Facing your exotic charm, I melt like Kim
Sensually ultimate, almost naughty
Girl, enjoying life is the plan
Doctor, in my free time, just timing it right
Doctor Reyel, not Gynéco
Troubles with girls, yeah, I know what I'm about
I studied the game at my school
That of the Guadeloupeans from the big era
Let me be the one who shares your life
Yes, the one you trust
No one will understand you better than I do
Give me my chance, you'll see
At worst, the one who shares your night
Spending a few hours with you in this bed
I'll know how to take care of you
Give me my chance, you'll see
I want to be the one to go with you, the one you call your partner
We’ll go on real adventures, don’t worry, it won’t be the countryside
With tight pants, champagne pops
In Miami, Brazil, Morocco, or Spain
And I’ll save the rest for you, yeah I will
A couple of kisses, a hug under the covers, and boom (wouh)
I need to come back down to Earth
I don’t even have your number yet
...
Let me be the one who shares your life
Yes, the one who defies your limits
No one will understand you better than I do
Give me my chance, you'll see
At worst, the one who shares your night
Spending a few hours with you is enough for me
I'll know how to take care of you
Give me my chance, you'll see
You’ll see, you’ll see, I’ll be that one (Oh, no)
I tell you, I tell you, I’ll be that one
You’ll see, my girl, and you’ll see, my girl, no
I tell you, I tell you I will be the one
...
