[English] I don't have the style
Yet I'm not hostile
But a uniform suit isn't for me
I don't have the complete set
Of the ideal son-in-law
I'll always feel like I'm being watched
Yet I'm not against love
I'd even be more for it
But that doesn't mean
We should get attached and poison ourselves
With an arrow that deceives us
We shouldn't get attached and imprison ourselves
But nothing stops us from surrendering
No!
I don't fit the profile
But on the pillow, I don't like being questioned
I'm not James Bond
Je suis pas James Bond
Surrounded by beautiful blondes - no no no
I don't even envy the men who flirt around
Yet I'm not against love
I'm just waiting for my turn
But that doesn't mean
We should get attached and poison ourselves
With an arrow that deceives us
We shouldn't get attached and imprison ourselves
But nothing stops us from surrendering
No!
We leave nothing
The daily grind kills me
It holds me, it hurts me (it hurts me)
Nothing more normal
But you slip in
Into the thread
You shouldn't go overboard
Every time you cut in line
But who are you?
You're not normal
We get attached and poison ourselves
With an arrow that deceives us
We shouldn't, no, get attached and imprison ourselves
But nothing stops us from surrendering
No!
We shouldn't
Get attached and poison ourselves
With an arrow that deceives us
We shouldn't get attached and imprison ourselves
But nothing stops us from surrendering
No, no!
We get attached No, I don't know how to do that
After all, I'm just a man
No, I don't want to live like
In Uncle Tom's cabin
As Papa Dalton
Finding myself in an album
Love is beautiful
After all, I'm just a man
