She wore faded jeans and soft black leather
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather
When she needed me I wasn't around
That's the way it goe s, it'll all work out
There were times apart, there were times together
I was pledged to her for worse or better
When it mattered most I let her down
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
It'll all work out eventually
Better off with him than here with me
It'll all work out eventually
Maybe better with him than here with me
Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy
And the water's rising in the levee
Still I think of her when the sun go es down
It never goes away, but it all works outIl pense ¨¤ moi, je le vois je le sens je le sais
Et son sourire me ment pas quand il vient me chercher
Il aime bien me parler des choses qu'il a vues
Du chemin qu'il a fait et de tous ses projets
(He thinks of me, I see it I feel it I know itÂÂÂÂ
And his smile doesn't lie when he comes to pick me upÂÂÂÂ
He likes to talk to me about the things he sawÂÂÂÂ
About the progress he made and of all his projects)
Je crois pourtant qu'il est seul et qu'il voit d'autres filles
Je ne sais pas ce qu'elles veulent ni les phrases qu'il dit
Je ne sais pas o¨´ je suis quelque part dans sa vie
Si je compte aujourd'hui plus qu'une autre pour lui
(I believe however that he's alone and that he hangs out with other girlsÂÂÂÂ
I don't know what they want nor the sentences he saysÂÂÂÂ
I don't know where I am somewhere in his lifeÂÂÂÂ
If I count more than the others for him today)
Il est si pr¨¨s de moi pourtant je ne sais pas comment l'aimer
Lui seul peut decider qu'on se parle d'amour ou d'amiti¨¦
Moi je l'aime et je peux lui offrir ma vie
M¨ºme s'il ne veut pas de ma vie
(He is so close to me yet I don't know how to love himÂÂÂÂ
Only him can decide if we talk about love or about friendshipÂÂÂÂ
I love him and I want to offer him my lifeÂÂÂÂ
Even if he doesn't want my life)
Je r¨ºve de ses bras oui mais je ne sais pas comment l'aimer
Il a l'air d'h¨¦siter entre une histoire d'amour ou d'amiti¨¦
Et je suis comme une île en plein ocÃÆ
