C'est La Vie (Always 21)

Ace Of Base · Singles Of The 90s

I am as young as I'm feeling
I'm always 21, I am always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
I'm always 21 at heart
Now listen to me

I need somebody to stay beside me 'cause I gotta hungry heart
Baby, with or without love, I'm gonna get a man who can fulfill my dream
From the top of the world, I don't wanna be alone
No, no, no not me

C'est la vie, c'est la vie on the road tonight
Love is good for you, oh when you're 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie on my own tonight
Love will come to you, you are always 21

AHHH love is a liar but I will try it, give it another go
I know you have another, yes I've seen her, I wonder who she is
Does she kiss you the way that I used to kiss you?
I bet she wonders who I am

C'est la vie, c'est la vie on the road tonight...

C'est la vie, yeah

I get older everyday, but I will fight it 'til the end
There's a man for me to have and to hold
Easy come and easy go. once bitten but not for long
I'm as young as I'm feeling, yes I am

C'est la vie, c'est vie on my own tonight
Love will come to you, you are always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie on the road tonight
Life is good for you, oh when you're 21
You are always 21

Oh oh oh yeah, love's good

Life is good for you, oh when you're 21

Remember, you're always 21
