Je Suis Seul (What Is Soul)
Johnny Hallyday · Tour 66 [2009]
Je suis seul, désespéré
Quand je les vois par la main, tous les amoureux moi je sais bien
Cet amour-là je ne le connaîtrai pas, il ne sera jamais pour moi
Je suis seul, désespéré
Tu as beau parler d'amour, je suis seul presque toujours
Au milieu de mes tourments, je me dis que tu me mens
La vie, la vie c'est bien joli, moi j'ai peur d'être un jour trahi
Et ton amour, tu peux me jurer, je sais bien qu'un jour tu me feras crier
Je suis seul
Je suis seul, désespéré, je suis seul, désespéré.
