The French Song Lyrics
Don't you be nervous baby
I didn't come to bring you down
This is so natural baby
Just let my love turn you around
This twisted love affair
Could really take us somewhere
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
Don't you feel guilty baby
I won't take long to understand
Don't waste time arguing
We'll make the most with what's at hand
I have to laugh out loud
When you say three's a crowd
I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am
I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am, I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am, I am what I am
Don't think that I'm uncouth, I only speak the truth
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
I didn't come to bring you down
This is so natural baby
Just let my love turn you around
This twisted love affair
Could really take us somewhere
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois
I won't take long to understand
Don't waste time arguing
We'll make the most with what's at hand
I have to laugh out loud
When you say three's a crowd
I know what I am
I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am, I know what I am, I am what I am
I know what I am, I am what I am
Don't think that I'm uncouth, I only speak the truth
J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois

Pretty sure this song is about someone's first threesome. "J'aime faire I'amour sur tout a trois" translates to "I enjoy the love of all three" and it says "I have to laugh out loud when you say three's a crowed."
That's what I believe. I love Joan Jett!!
Just saw her in concert three days ago, and she introduced it (paraphrasing) as saying the love between two is a beautiful thing, but between three is even better, especially when one of the three is her. :)

Great show, too!
Great show, too!
@Kris10S2artFan Joan Jett is just the greatest! She’s never appeared to want to be anything other than what she is…oh, and GREAT fuckin music ???? too…the greatness of this song is in her sheer JOY in singing it!

The greatness of the song is directly related to the simplicity of the riff…no easy task when EVERYONE has heard it all, man…
THIS is “Rock n’ Roll”, what some people like to call “ punk”, whatever, it’s mostly fucking attitude anyway. This was written and released, Iirc, during the Reagan Eighties, that Consevative hell’scape of religious right lunatics. That was when they had their rise, anyway, it’s not like they’ve disappeared, they’re EVERYWHERE. What’s more “punk” than:
“I KNOW WHAT I AM I AM WHAT I AM”
When nearly nobody else knows who THEY are, and they don’t particularly like it when anyone else does, either?!?
Nothing, that’s what.
@force263 Theres “none more punk”, none more “rock n roll “, than Joan Jett. Not Johnny Rotten. Not Keith Richards.

Anyway, just calling it The French Song is enough to git yer typical ‘Murrcn Square - L7, baby - to never listen to it. That’s BEFORE they even find out it’s about “bah-seckshul—OWL-ittee”
