When we were young
so many times we heard them say
our love comes to us all
in many different ways

Oui je sais
oui je sais
la verite

They didn't warn us
of the disappointments too
one sided love affairs
are really nothing new

Oui je sais
oui je sais
la verite

All my life
the thoughts of women confound me
when they talk of love and happiness
all around me
when now grey skies are gathering up above me
and I'm the fool I know when you don't think of me

I know you'll never
come to love a man like me
I'll just be a friend
if that's the only role that's free

Oui je sais
oui je sais
la verite

All my life
the thoughts of women confound me
when they talk of love and happiness
all around me
when now grey skies are gathering up above me
and I'm the fool I know when you don't think of me
