Paroles de Tim RICE - Musique de Michel BERGER





When I'm coming out to play

When I'm walking down the street

When I'm moving to the beat

I give nothing away



When I'm slipping into bed

When I'm throwing back the sheets

When I'm handing out the treats

I leave plenty unsaid



I might be naked, wined, and dined

I might fulfill your wildest dream

But you might just as well be blind

I'm not the easy touch I seem



You'd sell your very soul to keep

What you think you got

But you make out then fall asleep

Brothers, I do not ! I do not



I stay

In control

Keep my nerve

As for you - you fools !

You get what you deserve



Courtesan, mistress, nun

Virgin, angel or whore

I can be anyone

Any two, three or four

Hooker, schoolgirl or saint

Any number of rides

But the boss man you ain't

I'm the one who decides



You deserve a girl like me

You deserve a little luck

You deserve a bit for free

You deserve a nip and tuck

You deserve your fine romance

You deserve your Juliet

You won't get a second chance

You deserve everything you get !



I don't agree with modern views

That only women bleed

If we just flatter, stroke and use

We get what we need, what we need



We staIn control

Keep our nerve

As for you - poor you !

You get what you deserve



Mother, sister or tramp

Debauchee, libertine

Primadonna or vamp

Baby doll, teenage queen

Undefiled or a slut

Perfect lady or bitch

All laid out for you but

I'm the one who says which



You deserve a girl like me

You deserve a little luck

You deserve a bit for free

You deserve a nip and tuck

You deserve your fine romance

You deserve your Juliet

You won't get a second chance

You deserve everything you get
