I know where I shouldn't be
I know where I shouldn't be
You take my heart and drink it for tea
You take my heart and drink it for tea
You mix me up and walk out the door
You mix me up and walk out the door
You take my love and hurt me for more
You take my love and hurt me for more
But I gotta have it
But I gotta have it
Watch out for the damage
Watch out for the damage
From New York straight to Paris
From New York straight to Paris
I'm talking Lenny Kravitz
I'm talking Lenny Kravitz
Whenever he is around
Whenever he is around
He puts me six feet under the ground
He puts me six feet under the ground
And when you call, he can never be found
Et quand tu appelles, il ne peut jamais être trouvé
'Cause he is always out on the town
Parce qu'il est toujours en ville
But I gotta have it
Mais je dois l'avoir
Watch out for the damage
Fais attention aux dégâts
From New York straight to Paris
De New York directement à Paris
I'm talking Lenny Kravitz
Je parle de Lenny Kravitz
He is so funky and he's looking good
Il est tellement funky et il a l'air bien
And he does it like a good man should
Et il le fait comme un bon homme doit
And I would love him if I only could
Et je l'aimerais si je le pouvais seulement
But his heart is like a piece of wood
Mais son cœur est comme un morceau de bois
But I gotta have it
But I gotta have it
Watch out for the damage
Watch out for the damage
From New York straight to Paris
From New York straight to Paris
I'm talking Lenny Kravitz
I'm talking Lenny Kravitz
