Formidable
You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
You're the one for me, for me, for me astounding1
You are my love very, very, very, veritable
You are my love very, very, very, true2.
Et je voudrais pouvoir un jour enfin te le dire

Te l'écrire

Darling I love you, love you, darling I want you,
Et puis c' est a peu pres tout

You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
You are the one for me, for me, for me, formidable
But how can you
But how can you
See me, see me, see me, si minable
See me, see me, see me, so pathetic4
