Paroles
I was just thirty-four years old and I was still wandering in a haze
I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were
Lost in a maze
I don’t know why I thought I should have some kind of Divine right to the blues
It’s sympathy not tears people need when they’re the
Front page sad news.
The incense burned away and the stench began to rise
And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others' eyes
And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil
And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil
No one respects the flame quite like the fool who’s badly burned
From all this you’d imagine that there must be something learned
Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
I don’t ever wear no ripped shirts
Can’t pretend that growing older never hurts.
Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants
Have to be so drunk to try a new dance
So afraid of every new romance
Slit skirts, slit skirt
Jeanie isn’t wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt
She wouldn’t dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt
Wouldn’t be seen dead in no slit skirt
Slit skirts, slit skirt
Jeanie isn’t wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt
She wouldn’t dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt
Wouldn’t be seen dead in no slit skirt
Romance, romance, why aren’t we thinking up romance?
Why can’t we drink it up true heart romance
Just need a brief new romance
Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I’m sitting at home just now.
The big events of the day are passed and the late TV shows have come around.
I’m number one in the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled.
A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that I’m unskilled.
And I know that when she thinks of me, she thinks of me as him,
But, unlike me, she don’t work off her frustration in the gym.
Recriminations fester and the past can never change
A woman’s expectations run from both ends of the range
Once she walked with untamed lovers' face between her legs
Now he’s cooled and stifled and it’s she who has to beg
Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
And I don’t ever wear no ripped shirts
Can’t pretend that growing older never hurts
Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants
We have to be so drunk to try a new dance
So afraid of every new romance
Slit skirts, slit skirt
Jeanie isn’t wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt
She wouldn’t dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt
Wouldn’t be seen dead in no slit skirt
Slit skirts, slit skirt
Jeanie isn’t wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt
She wouldn’t dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt
Wouldn’t be seen dead in no slit skirt
Romance, romance, why aren’t we thinking up romance?
Why can’t we drink it up true heart romance
Just need a brief new romance
Traduction des paroles
Une fois, elle a marché avec le visage des amants sauvages entre ses jambes
Maintenant il est refroidi et étouffé et c'est elle qui doit mendier
Jupes fendues, Jeanie ne porte jamais ces jupes fendues
Et je ne porte jamais de chemises déchirées
Je ne peux pas prétendre que vieillir ne fait jamais mal
Pantalon de genou, Jeanie ne porte jamais aucun pantalon de genou
Il faut être soûl pour essayer une nouvelle danse
Si peur de chaque nouvelle romance
Jupes fendues, jupe fendue
Jeanie ne porte pas ces jupes fendues, jupe fendue
Elle n'oserait pas dans ces jupes fendues, jupe fendue
Ne serait pas vu mort sans jupe fendue
Jupes fendues, jupe fendue
Jeanie ne porte pas ces jupes fendues, jupe fendue
Elle n'oserait pas dans ces jupes fendues, jupe fendue
Ne serait pas vu mort sans jupe fendue
Romance, romance, pourquoi on ne pense pas à la romance?
Pourquoi ne pouvons nous pas boire le vrai coeur romance
Juste besoin d'une brève nouvelle romance
