C'est La Vie
I've been taking what you've given
Now I'm thinkin' I've been livin'
Fantasy of your sweet smile
Sad as blue and blue as only
You can cast the color on me
Can you see my fire rain
Ohh... Ohh...
C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie here am I lonely
C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie here am I lonely without him
Boy you swallow truth like honey
As you spew your lies upon me
Sweet and smooth as it goes down
Ohh... Ohh...
C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie here am I lonely
C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie here am I lonely without him
Oh say you, say me
Say always and forev'
'Ver more I'll be
Your perfect little sugar bride
Oh if you could see,
The truth within our perfect harmony,
Your melody is bringing me down
Ohh... Ohh...
C'est La
C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie here am I lonely
C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie here am I lonely without him
Without him
Boy you swallow truth like honey
