This Charming Life

I never thought love knew distance
 I heard once smitten 
 It was wave goodbye
 To the clubs and the dance on the tables shaking
 Bad boy turned to a life of good


 Passing round your number to a bunch of strangers
 Girls in heels and their lips so red


 They're not looking for love love love
 They're looking for sweets
 They're looking for a daddy
 They're looking for sugar
 Hey 
 Hey 
 Hey 


 Everybody told me it would never work out yeh
 Living so far apart
 And like a fool I though the oceans 
 Divided the continents 
 But not a faithful heart


 Everybody told me that the sunshine that 
 I saw in your eyes was fake
 That the blue was a too 
 I heard every single word they said 
 But it sounded like French
 And Je ne parle pas francais


 Cos I was looking for 
 Love love love


 Ok I decided in my fairy tale world 
 We were hands stretched across the sea
 And every time somebody told tell me 
 You were playing around I said 
 Oh no
 He wouldn't hurt me
 But more and more I find there's no answer to all my mail 
 And I can't reach you on your phone 
 Last thing we planned so meticulously 
 You missed the plane 
 And I spent the night alone
 I gotta tell you now 


 Always thought of you as stronger baby
 You were bigger than the sky 
 Don't want revenge she ain't a lady baby
 And you know that is what I am
 Aah aah aah


 All I get from you is an abridged illusive story
 Try to put a spin on cheating babe now you bore me


 Once I was naive and I listened to the lies 
 And what you told me I would just believe
 But while your other female friends are looking for a paycheck
 It doesn't take money to please me


 Do you read me
 When you need me
 I'm telling you babe 
 It cuts both ways
 Believe me


 Everybody told me it would never work out yeh
 Living so far apart
 Like a fool I though the oceans 
 Divided the continent 
 But not a faithful heart


 Cos I was so in love
 Yeh I was so in love
 Yeh I was so in love
 Yeh I was so in love
 I was so in love


 Love love love
 Love love love
 Love love love
