I'll be alone in the world, without love Where would I be, alone in the world Where would I love I'll be the girl and you'll be the knight You'd be the impetuous and I'd be the reserve You'd be the shy and I'd be the shy Where would I be, alone in the world Where would I love I'd be the charming and you'd be the charming I'd be the distant and you'd be the distant I'd be the burning and you'd be the worried We'd be nothing We'd play with love We'd make each other smile We'd play tricks We'd know how to get around the storms of boredom We'd seem to be transitive lovers We'd seem to be Never always the same Never those we thought we were Never those who get together Never those who lie Those who owe each other words Those for whom it's no use To love so much We'd seem to be Like inventors Like shipwrecked Like drowned in sweetness Like thirsty Like never asleep We'd seem to be transitive lovers We'd be alone in the world Where would I love I'd be the perfect as you'd want me to be I'd be so sweet You'd take my hand You'd slip under my skirt And I'd say nothing You'd slip under my skirt And I'd say nothing Thank you.
