Even when I was still only a choir boy
I already had a rocker's heart
I didn't like school very much
I only lived for my yé-yé idols
I was still only a teenager
When I left to live an outsider's life
My father wanted to hold me back
All he could manage to tell me
Was "you'll make your mother die"
[Chorus]
With my rocker's heart
I never know how to say I love you
Yes but Mum, I still loved you
Like nobody ever did
Of all the girls that got to my heart
The only one I truly loved
Is the one who left me
From that I was quite bothered
It's true that I wasn't too faithful
But I was completely mad about her
I tried to hold her back
All she could manage to tell me
Was "you'll live out your life all alone"
[Chorus]
With my rocker's heart
I never know how to say I love you
Yes but baby, I still loved you
Like nobody ever did
With my rocker's heart
I never know how to say I love you
Yes but baby, I still loved you
Like I will never be able to anymore
With my rocker's heart
I never know how to say I love you
Yes but Mum, I still loved you
Like nobody ever did
