Double Vie [English translation]

[Chorus]

I'm leading a double life,

The one with my girlfriend, the other with the other girls.

I'm leading a double life,

As if I was walking on a wire between night and day.

I'm leading a double life,

The one with my girlfriend, the other with the other girls.

I'm leading a double life, a double life.

And I already know how it's gonna end : badly !

[Verse 1]

I finally found a girl with who it could be serious.

I think she's special, I think I might be getting old.

She's not really the dream girl, and maybe it's better.

She's simple, she's pretty, she's real.

When I need some calm, I squat at her place.

She does the cleaning and the cooking, I do the shopping and the dishes.

We watch series, films, we smoke, we talk, we laugh, we booze.

We knock back the cheapest white wine bottles of Lidl.

I won't write poems though,

But if she hold my arm while we're walking, it's not a problem anymore.

She works at night to pay for her law courses.

19 months, we had words twice, because of me.

She's my little darling, my little doll,

The best price-quality ratio I've found.

I could even marry her, except she doesn't turn me on,

I can't stop cheating on her when her back is turned.

[Chorus]

I'm leading a double life,

The one with my girlfriend, the other with the other girls.

I'm leading a double life,

As if I was walking on a wire between night and day.

I'm leading a double life,

The one with my girlfriend, the other with the other girls.

I'm leading a double life, a double life.

And I already know how it's gonna end : badly !

[Verse 2]

My ex was hot, but my ex was crazy,

she quartered me for hours on the phone,

I've never seen her make an effort,

She gave orders,

Went bananas, broke things, slammed doors,

Searched in my pockets, investigated in my mailboxes,

Threatened to commit suicide every three weeks.

A pretty lazy chick, a pretty little bitch,

She left school to squat terraces,

To get wasted, vestiges made of booze, made of drugs,

To spend her parents' money in her wardrobe.

I liked her, but I left her without any regret,

We're weren't compatible, we'd have ended killing each other.

But when whe did it after we had a fight,

It was nice, beautiful, apocalyptic,

I'm getting half hard just talking about it, I'n going to call her, I'll give in,

My other half will have to share me again.

[Chorus]

I'm leading a double life,

The one with my girlfriend, the other with the other girls.

I'm leading a double life,

As if I was walking on a wire between night and day.

I'm leading a double life,

The one with my girlfriend, the other with the other girls.

I'm leading a double life, a double life.

And I already know how it's gonna end : badly !

[Verse 3]

I'm tortured, attracted by my dark side,

Sex is like hard drugs,

I's like to stop nocturnal adventures,

But I always find an excuse to do a new wicked thing.

I'm not mature enough to start a family, allright

But it's not a reason for hooking up with every girl who approachs me, right ?

It's harsh, I'm not even jealous anymore,

I barely see the link between sex and love,

I really don't want her to know I'm cheating on her,

However, I don't want to hurt her : she's the only one I love,

The others it's for sport

Even if it won't change anything when she'll want to kick me out.

[Chorus]

I'm leading a double life,

The one with my girlfriend, the other with the other girls.

I'm leading a double life,

As if I was walking on a wire between night and day.

I'm leading a double life,

The one with my girlfriend, the other with the other girls.

I'm leading a double life, a double life.

And I already know how it's gonna end : badly !

[Outro]

No, no, I gotta stop

Unless if I keep on like that for the three next years,

and if I make up for it the next thirty ones.

I'm leading a double life

And I already know how it's gonna end : badly !
