JE REGRETTE

Barry Hay / George Kooymans

This is what you see
And that’s what you get
Musta been something
Houdini once said
She had sex appeal
She was made in France
almost made a deal
With the devil right there
I was just a fool
Paris by night
Je t’adore mon amour sure to make ’em cry

God knows. Who knows
Somewhere there’s a place like heaven
I know. You know
It was never gonna happen
Only going for nothing but between
Your pretty legs
I’m sorry

Je regrette. Je regrette
New York on the other side of the globe
My heart’s dyin’
My mind’s stone cold

Je regrette. Je regrette
New York on the other side of the globe
My heart’s dyin
And my mind’s stone cold
Stone cold

Stone cold
Stone cold

So I make a call
Four hours ago
There’s a time difference
I’m tryin’ to ignore
Like something never before
I only wanna see yourface again
I want your body next to me
Tell me how it sounds in French
I’m sorry

God knows. Who knows
Somewhere there’s a place like heaven
I know. You know it was never gonna happen
I was only going for nothing but between
Your pretty legs
I’m sorry

Je regrette. Je regrette
New York on the other side of the world
My heart’s dyin’
And my mind’s stone cold
Stone cold

Je regrette. Je regrette
New York on the other side of the globe
My heart dying
And my mind’s stone cold
Stone cold
