I had validated her, I had validated her, I had validated her
Our hearts beat too fast, we're going to crash
We need to slow down
I loved you, that's in the past
I'll console myself at Versace
I might have my flaws
I messed up, I admit it
Alone and sad like at the depot
To one woman I say "I love you"
To one woman I say "I love you"
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
The first time I saw you, I remember
Miss, what do you have planned? Nothing...
Your sway left me groggy
Two days later I took you in doggy-style
Your name echoes in high places
Us two is over like Banlieue Sale
You were forbidden fruit
Shopping on the Champs, not at Cora
You just used me, no Jack Honey moon in Bora-Bora
Our hearts beat too fast, we're going to crash
We need to slow down
I loved you, that's in the past
I'll console myself at Versace
I might have my flaws
I messed up, I admit it
Alone and sad like at the depot
To one woman I say "I love you"
I had validated her, I had validated her
I gave her everything
She took it all without even thanking me
She wanted a second chance
I said: "No, I have too much dignity!"
For any confidence, I call Bampara Kouyaté
My baby, I would have taken you out of poverty
I searched her iPhone, I should have never
I searched her iPhone, I should have never
Photos in revealing outfits
Naked men without any restraint
I would have had children with her, she played me
If I tell you, you'll stutter
But I won't say anything as I know you
You too will want to kill her
I left my heart open
Thinking you wouldn't steal anything
Our hearts beat too fast, we're going to crash
We need to slow down
I loved you, that's in the past
I'll console myself at Versace
I might have my flaws
I messed up, I admit it
Alone and sad like at the depot
To one woman I say "I love you"
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I loved you, that's in the past
