Edith Piaf (Said It Better Than Me)

It's a heartwarming song

For the easily moved

The effect is all wrong

Plain to see I'm not moved

As I stand in the light

Of a shop that is closed

God, I'd love me a fight

There's no poem just prose

Edith Piaf said it better than me

"Je ne regrette rien"

Pretty song, but not intended for me

Time to put some muzak on

There were no smoky dives

Few amours, fous or not

There were no petty crimes

Foreign substances bought

There were no midnight drives

With a crime boss's wife

Need a sentence at most

When assessing my life

Drunken and short-lived flings

Montparnasse lights

Holding a hand of kings

My hunch was right

When's that night?

Live fast and die young

Live fast and die young

Live fast and die young

Too late for that

Too late for that

Think of one single night

Wants so strong you're aflame

Well I'm sorry time's up

Sorry, nothing will change

I was born to be bad

I was born to be bad

I was born to be bad

Not this time

Not this time
