[English]

Yeah, yeah

Eh, eh, woh

Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah

...

You entered my life like in a freestyle

You wanted us to escape like Bonnie and Clyde

I wanted to pierce your titanium heart

I quickly realized I wasn't up to the task

Baby, so? Where are we going? What are we doing?

We're running away, far from here, let's go

We're so different, that's what attracts us

"Bang, bang, bang" shots are fired around us

Come with me if you're ready to leave

I don't want to stay here, they want to enslave us

Baby, so? Where are we going? What are we doing?

We're running away, far from here, let's go

She's sexy, refined (sexy, refined)

She's sexy, refined (sexy, refined)

She's sexy, refined (sexy, refined)

Chocolate, cho-cho-cho-chocolate

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate

Cho-cho-cho

This girl killed me (killed)

Assassinated (killed)

Sexy, refined (killed)

Like in the movies, at the cinema (killed)

This guy killed me (killed)

Assassinated (killed)

Yes, I succumbed (killed)

Like in the movies, at the cinema (killed)

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate, chocolate

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate, chocolate

I believed it

When his eyes were set on me

He got me, oh

But I don't dare tell him he matters to me

I admit it, oh

That it takes more to leave with me

Even if deep down I want to, eh

Take the lead and make me dream

Yes, I gathered all my things

Where are we going? What are we doing? We're running away

We're leaving without messing everything up

A voice tells me "no, don't go"

On one hand, I'm afraid to be wrong about him

But on the other, I know he has conquered me

Well, let's go, if it doesn't work out, I'll regret it

She's sexy, refined (sexy, refined)

She's sexy, refined (sexy, refined)

She's sexy, refined (sexy, refined)

Chocolate, cho-cho-cho-chocolate

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate

Cho-cho-cho

This girl killed me (killed)

...

Assassinated (killed)

Sexy, refined (killed)

Like in the movies at the cinema (killed)

This guy killed me (killed)

Assassinated (killed)

Yes, I succumbed (killed)

Like in the movies, at the cinema (killed)

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate, chocolate

Cho-cho-cho-chocolate, chocolate

She's sexy, refined (sexy, refined)

She's sexy, refined (sexy, refined)

She's sexy, refined (sexy, refined)

Chocolate, cho-cho-cho-chocolate

T'es rentrée dans ma vie comme dans un freestyle

T'as voulu qu'on s'évade comme Bonnie and Clyde

J'ai voulu percer ton cœur en titane

J'ai vite compris que j'n'étais pas de taille

Baby, alors? On va où? On fait quoi?

On s'enfuit, loin d'ici, on y va

On est si différents, c'est ce qui nous attire

"Bang, bang, bang" autour ça tire

Viens avec moi si t'es prête à partir

J'veux pas rester là, ils veulent nous asservir

Baby, alors? On va où? On fait quoi?

On s'enfuit, loin d'ici, on y va

Je l'ai cru

Quand ses yeux se sont posés sur moi

Il m'a eu, oh

Mais je n'ose pas lui dire qu'il compte pour moi

Je l'avoue, oh

Qu'il en faut plus pour partir avec moi

Même si au fond je le veux, eh

Prends les devants et fais-moi rêver

Oui j'ai réuni toutes mes affaires

On va où? On fait quoi? On s'enfuit

On s'en va sans pour autant tout foutre en l'air

Une voix me dit "non n'y va pas"

D'un côté, j ai peur d'me tromper sur lui

Mais d'un autre je sais qu'il m'a conquise

Bon on y va, si ça n'va pas, je m'en mordrai les doigts

Elle est sexy, raffinée (sexy, raffinée)
