22 (Vingt-Deux) Lyrics by Lily Allen

2009

[Intro: Charles Souchon]
Hé Lily! Raconte-nous!
[Verse 1: Lily Allen]
When she was 22, the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
[I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking, "How did I get here?" and wondering why]
[Chorus: Lily Allen & Charles Souchon]
It's sad, but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
C'est vrai, Lily ! C'est vrai !
Elle voit la vie en duo, voit la suite du haut
De ses épaules et de son dos
Elle envoie des mots, des mots qui tombent à l'eau
[Verse 2: Charles Souchon]
Elle dit que sa vie se réduit à un petit étui
Elle n'a plus la pupille qui brille, qui scintille et qui pétille
Assise par terre et pas très fière de sa petite carrière
Loin de ce qu'elle rêvait hier, solitaire, trentenaire
[Chorus: Lily Allen, Charles Souchon, Both]
It's sad, but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Elle voit la vie en duo, voit la suite du haut
De ses épaules et de son dos
Elle envoie des mots, des mots qui tombent à l'eau
[Bridge: Piano Solo]
[Chorus: Lily Allen, Charles Souchon, Both]
It's sad, but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Elle voit la vie en duo, voit la suite du haut
De ses épaules et de son dos
Elle envoie des mots, des mots qui tombent à l'eau
