I Don't Want (To)
You gave me roses, I told you to clear out
You wanted a break, I said "Let's go on"
You wanted the countryside, we live in Paris
You say no, I say yes
You wanted Gainsbourg, I put on Booba*
You wanted to make love, we danced the zumba
You wanted a boy, we named her Suzie
You say no, I say yes
Saying "I love you" isn't the problem
Listen to me when I say that I don't want
I don't want (no, no I don't want)
To pretend (no, no, I don't want)
Like those husbands (no, no, I don't want)
Who say yes (no, no, I don't want)
I don't want, I don't want, I don't want to please you
I don't want, I don't want, If you love me come say it to me
Singing
You say this isn't love, but you see
I'm not the jerk you think I am, this song is for you
You wanted Peru, you only got the hat**
You wanted the Ferris wheel, you got the merry-go-round
You wanted a lover, I said "We'll see!"
You say white, I say black
Saying "I love you" isn't the problem
Listen to me when I say that I don't want
I don't want (no, no I don't want)
To be nice (no, no, I don't want)
To make a love nest, to pretend
I don't want, I don't want, I don't want to please you
I don't want, I don't want, If you love me come say it to me
Singing
You say this isn't love, but you see
I'm not the jerk you think I am, this song is for you
You wanted passion, you got Mon Cheris***
You wanted escape, I bought you kiwis
You wanted to see the sea, we saw my mother instead****
You say Rome, I say Vienna
Because I don't want (no, no, I don't want)
When we tell each other (no, no, I don't want)
I don't want (no, no I don't want), I don't want (no, no I don't want)
I don't want, I don't want, I don't want to please you
I don't want, I don't want, If you love me come say it to me
Singing
You say this isn't love, but you see
I'm not the jerk you think I am, this song is for you
