Galatée

The coffee shop just closed but I'm still here, I'll stay
What a dumb idea to love a woman with a vengeful mood?
The last time, I gave you a plan, nothing to lose your mind over
But you come from a dangerous city that sells you stress

I'll be fair-play, if I pretend to be annoyed, it's to please you and I'll lean in, mocking your sulky look
To annoy me, you'll light up a joint or two
You'll play the rebel but your words don't affect me
I'll get your smile, the only witness of my victory
I'll hold your ears to keep them from running away
I'll tell you: "there are girls at this party" but I only saw you

Your body in my retina, it's sensory
Honestly, routine won't be able to drain us
In front of me, there are some shady guys at the bottom of the block
But I think of your little dimples at the base of your back
Don't calculate all those shady guys at the bottom of the block
But I'll pinch your little dimples at the base of your back

The coffee shop just closed but I'm still here, I'll stay
What a dumb idea to love a woman with a vengeful mood?
The last time, I gave you a plan, nothing to lose your mind over
But you come from a dangerous city that sells you stress

You'll say no when I ask you if you love me
And it's a "no" much more precious than a yes
I don't understand you but I have your eyes to subtitle
You told me that one day we'd bond, that one night we'd part ways
Since I was absent for six months, you avoid me
Since half of the girls at my concerts
Even when I'm sincere, every time, you're suspicious
And when I'm myself, you avoid me, well
Well, it's true that it's recurring but don't put me under pressure
Let's flee this sickening atmosphere, love is not a prison
While waiting for you, I observe the bonds that passersby create
There was a time when the beauty of the sky didn't come without us
The other women lack flavor, I don't take a bite of those tasteless meals
In my mind, I have images of your hair playing on repeat
But you're still not here and the day drags on
I'm really starting to worry about you, do you know?
Today is hard, tomorrow is worse
And your jealousy makes me want to seduce them all

But I remain faithful out of respect, that I swore
You're the only one who seems special to me, every day
I remain faithful out of respect, that I swore
You're the only one who seems special

You'll throw my stuff away again and anything that might be lying around
Even a book that I lent you, I have a face to be loved
You said to me: When will you stop idealizing love in books while neglecting me?
What? You think you know people? Mind-blowing truth
I have a lace heart but I'm just a wall as such
You'll pout but I have a gift under my parka
I know your annoyed smile by heart
So we'll climb over fences, we'll go to a park
And if the guard catches us, we'll change the route
A dispute full of frivolity, Rue de Rivoli
A pleasant rivalry, until we get to bed
You see, I know you by heart
As if I'm looking for trouble, but for now, I'm freezing and watching the time

The coffee shop just closed but I'm still here, I'll stay
What a dumb idea to love a woman with a vengeful mood?
The last time, I gave you a plan, nothing to lose your mind over
But you come from a dangerous city that sells you stress

You didn't want to settle down anymore, you did everything to toughen up beauty
But I did everything to acquire you
We love to cry as much as laugh, why did we have to lay this foundation?
Fear of suffering, I was distant as if to say: you don't own me
Sorry baby, let's go, tired of this rap life
You said to me: it's false, you'll never do it, it's me you'll leave
And it was false, finally, I denied it under the anger
This resounding truth
You coward, reassure yourself by saying it's life and that anyway genius is often alone
The coffee shop just closed, you won't come anymore
I hear the last subway rumbling under my feet
What a dumb idea to love this woman that we don't subdue?
It's a pretty lame ending, plus it screws up the chorus
