Everything was going well, no obligation
Everything was going well, no obligation
Thought I'd make a getaway on a chill out day
Thought I'd make a getaway on a chill out day
A coffee to take away, I got my hair done
A coffee to take away, I got my hair done
Should have been a lovely day, didn't end that way
Should have been a lovely day, didn't end that way
Puis, là, c'est trop parti en couille, y'a d'abord eu la pluie
Then, suddenly, things went really wrong, first there was the rain
La Loi de Murphy a décidé d'enterrer mon brushing
Murphy's Law decided to ruin my hairstyle
Un mec me demande son chemin, gentille moi je le dépanne
A guy asks me for directions, kind me helps him out
En fait, c'était qu'un plan drague, ce con m'a fait rater mon tram
In fact, it was just a pick-up line, that jerk made me miss my tram
J'en profite, je passe à la banque, je laisse passer mémé
I'm taking advantage, I stop by the bank, I let grandma go ahead
Si seulement j'avais su qu'elle relèverait tous ses extraits de l'année
If only I had known she would pull all her statements from the year
Je l'aurais poussée et coincée dans la porte automatique
I would have pushed her and trapped her in the automatic door
One time, never give it up
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
Three for you, I miss you too
Thinking it would be okay, with these directions
Thinking it would be okay, with these directions
What the fuck, I should have stayed in bed
What the fuck, I should have stayed in bed
Netflix & honey tea, curled up in my bed
Netflix & honey tea, curled up in my bed
Would be better in my sweater
Would be better in my sweater
Than be outside in this weather
Than be outside in this weather
One time, never give it up
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
Three for you, I miss you too
Quand à la banque ce fût mon tour
When at the bank it was my turn
Que je me suis dit qu'il était temps
That I told myself it was time
J'ai vite compris que c'était pas mon jour
I quickly understood that it wasn't my day
C'était écrit sur cet écran
It was written on that screen
Que Murphy voulait ma peau
That Murphy wanted my skin
Ce retrait est impossible
This withdrawal is impossible
Pour cause de solde insuffisant
Due to insufficient funds
C'est Murphy qui l'a dit (x4)
It's Murphy who said it (x4)
One time, never give it up
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
Three for you, I miss you too
One time, never give it up
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
Three for you, I miss you too
