A flower in your mouth can be useful...
I wouldn't swear on it
but where do you fly, butterfly
don't you see I'm here
like a flower, like a meadow
if I were you, I'd lean on me
to tell me, for example
how you live.

Could you tell me, little sister
what do you believe in
what do you hope for, what do you dream of
what will you do when you grow up
if you block against the wind
or push as hard as you can
what fear on certain nights
do you ever feel lonely
so lonely that you can't take it anymore.

If you need affection
if you need it like I do
if you need affection
for something that isn't there.

For you, between joy and pain
what's the difference
do you want children, yes children
or do you never think about it
is sex a problem or not
you seem free and happy
or sometimes you cry a little

they say around, butterfly
that you have no soul
and how do you do it, little one
to say yes or no
don't think I'm crazy
if I'm talking to you
it's just that I'm so lonely, little sister
so too lonely that...

I need affection
for today, keep me with you
I need affection
I need you too
I need love
and something that isn't there
I need affection
I need affection
I need love
