La Fleur Aux Dents

I spent my youth
Like a handful of change
I tried a bit of everything
A little bit everywhere, not knowing how to do anything
The flower in my teeth, that was all I had
But I knew well that all
The women in the world were waiting for me

There are girls you dream of
And those you sleep with
There are girls you regret
And those that leave you with remorse
There are girls you love
And those you could have loved
Then one day there’s the woman
You’ve been waiting for

I’ve known camp beds
That were softer than a pillow
And royal feasts on the bar
Of a train station diner
I’ve met a lot of people
I loved them all well
But in their faces deep down
I did nothing but search for you

There are girls you dream of
And those you sleep with
There are girls you regret
And those that leave you with remorse
There are girls you love
And those you could have loved
Then one day there’s the woman
You’ve been waiting for

One day here, the next there
One day rich and the next not
I was hungry to see everything
To know everything, I had so much to do
To get lost on the wrong path so many times
I still ended up
Finding the one that leads to you

There are girls you dream of
And those you sleep with
There are girls you regret
And those that leave you with remorse
There are girls you love
And those you could have loved
Then one day there’s the woman
You’ve been waiting for
