Michelle, my belle.

These are words that go together well,

My Michelle.



Michelle, my belle.

Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,

Tres bien ensemble.



I love you, I love you, I love you.

That's all I want to say.

Until I find a way

I will say the only words I know that

You'll understand.



Michelle, my belle.

Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,

Tres bien ensemble.



I need to, I need to, I need to.

I need to make you see,

Oh, what you mean to me.

Until I do I'm hoping you will

Know what I mean.



I love you.



I want you, I want you, I want you.

I think you know by now

I'll get to you somehow.

Until I do I'm telling you so

You'll understand.



Michelle, my belle.

Sont les mots qui vint tres bien ensemble,

Tres bien ensemble.



I will say the only words I know that

You'll understand, my Michelle.
