I've been taking what you've given
Now I'm thinking I've been living
The fantasy of your sweet smile

Sad as blue and blue as only
You can cast the color on me
Can you see my fire red?

C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here in my lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here in my lonely without him

Boy, you swallow truth like honey
As you spew your lies upon me
Sweet and smooth as it goes down

C'est la vie
C'est la vie here in my lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie here in my lonely without him

Oh, say you, say me
Say always and forever more I'll be
Your perfect little sugar bride
Oh, if you could see
The truth within our perfect harmony
Your melody is bringing me down

C'est la
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie here in my lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie here in my lonely without him
Without him

Boy, you swallow truth like honey
