Why does it have to be this way
When everything could be so perfect
Yes you will stay near my heart dear
Not like a faded memory
You won’t send my fantasies to sleep
Oh please don’t disappoint me
You’d be my 1001 nights prince
My gangster, my complice
You might have to sign away life away
But please don’t disappoint me
Faut-il vraiment que ce soit comme ça
Quand tout semblait être si parfait
Car seulement toi connait mon secret
Le mystère de ma vie, alors dit pourquoi
[Why does it have to be this way]
[When everything could been so perfect]
[Because only you know the mystery]
[The secret of my life, so why is it so]
Why does it have to be this way
When everything could have been so perfect
Because only you know the mystery
The secret of my life, so why is it so
If I can read your present dear
By looking deeply in your eyes
Only you can decide of my future
Only you could be my master
Stars would like to see it right
They feel we are their protégés
So who else could have been there watching
Tell me who, tell me the answer
Faut-il vraiment que ce soit comme ça
Quand tout semblait être si parfait
Car seulement toi connait mon secret
Le mystère de ma vie, alors dit pourquoi
[Why does it have to be this way]
[When everything could been so perfect]
[Because only you know the mystery]
[The secret of my life, so why is it so]
Comment se fait-il qu’à chaque fois
Ca recommence, ça recommence
Encore une fois, ça recommence
Why does is have to be this way
When everything seemed to be so perfect
Because only you know the mystery
The secret of my life, so why is it so
Why does is have to be this way
The things we’ve done I simply can’t forget
Because only you know the mystery
The secret of my life, so why is it so
Why does is have to be this way
The things we’ve done I simply can’t forget
Because only you know the mystery
The secret of my life, so why is it so
