Ici Les Enfants Lyrics
Oh, pretty baby, you’ve been driving me wild
With the face of a woman and the body of a child
I saw your first take and all the out-cuts
You’ve been driving my middle-aged blood pressure up
(Chorus)
Ici les enfants du paradis
Ici les enfants du paradis
Ici les enfants
When I get close to you, hear your murmuring heart
The moon turns black and I know why you got the part
I know you’re only twelve, so I’ll keep it pretty tame
You’re just a little girl who’s new to the game
(Chorus)
You’ve come a long way from the ivory snow
I’m not a social worker, will you give it a go?
Louis, Louis, you’ve really got it sussed
Tell her it’s art and keep the money in trust
(Chorus)
With the face of a woman and the body of a child
I saw your first take and all the out-cuts
You’ve been driving my middle-aged blood pressure up
Ici les enfants du paradis
Ici les enfants du paradis
Ici les enfants
The moon turns black and I know why you got the part
I know you’re only twelve, so I’ll keep it pretty tame
You’re just a little girl who’s new to the game
I’m not a social worker, will you give it a go?
Louis, Louis, you’ve really got it sussed
Tell her it’s art and keep the money in trust
