La Verite

When we were young

so many times we heard them say

our love comes to us all

in many different ways

Oui je sais

oui je sais

la verite

They didn't warn us

of the disappointments too

one sided love affairs

are really nothing new

Oui je sais

oui je sais

la verite

All my life

the thoughts of women confound me

when they talk of love and happiness

all around me

when now grey skies are gathering up above me

and I'm the fool I know when you don't think of me

I know you'll never

come to love a man like me

I'll just be a friend

if that's the only role that's free

Oui je sais

oui je sais

la verite

All my life

the thoughts of women confound me

when they talk of love and happiness

all around me

when now grey skies are gathering up above me

and I'm the fool I know when you don't think of me
