Cécilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Ohh cécilia i'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Cécilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Ohh cécilia i'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home
Making love in the afternoon with cécilia
Up in my bedroom
I got up to wash my face,
When i go back to bed someone's taking my place
Cécilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Ohh cécilia i'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home
Take it up, take it up
Take it up, take it up
Jubiliation, she loves me again
I fall on the floor and i'm laughing
Jubiliation, she loves me again
I fall on the floor and i'm happy
