J't'aime Tout Court

I love you, plain and simple
Without much or really
Without scaring or pretending
Without condition or rule

I love you, plain and simple
Without maybe or only
Without adornment or diamond
Without artifice or chain

I love you, plain and simple
Without drum or cannon
Without winner or loser
Without beautiful promise or trap

I love you, plain and simple
Without storm or volcano
Good weather as well as bad weather
Deep within myself
All these words are just words
Love is just one word
When it's pure and simple
All these words are just words
I don't need them
To tell you that I love you

I love you, plain and simple
Without comma without accent
Without detour or oath
Without complex or shame

I love you, plain and simple
Without a time limit
In the past, in the present
Far beyond the dream
All these words are just words
Love is just one word
When it's pure and simple
All these words are just words
I don't need them
To tell you that I love you

I love you, plain and simple
Even if man is violent
Even if living is insane
Even if our burdens are heavy

I love you, plain and simple
Madly, tenderly
With all my being
Pressed against your lips

All these words are just words
Love is just one word
When it's pure and simple
All these words are just words
I don't need them
To tell you that I love you
All these words are just words
Love is just one word
When it's pure and simple
All these words are just words
I don't need them
To tell you that I love you
