"22 (Vingt-Deux)" lyrics - LILY ALLEN

[Ours:]
He Lily! Raconte-nous!
[Lily:]
When she was twenty-two, her future looked bright
But she's nearly thirty now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking "how did I get here?" and wondering why
It's sad but it's true, how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
[Ours:]
C'est vrai, Lily! C'est vrai!
Elle voit la vie en duo, voit la suite du haut
De ses epaules et de son dos
Elle envoie des mots, des mots qui tombent a l'eau
Elle dit que sa vie se reduit a un petit etui
Elle n'a plus la pupille qui brille, qui scintille et qui petille
Assise par terre et pas tres fiere de sa petite carriere
Loin de ce qu'elle revait hier, solitaire, trentenaire
[Lily & Ours:]
It's sad but it's true, how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
[Ours:]
Elle voit la vie en duo, voit la suite du haut
De ses epaules et de son dos
Elle envoie des mots, des mots qui tombent a l'eau

[Piano solo]

[Lily:]
It's sad but it's true, how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
[Ours:]
Elle voit la vie en duo, voit la suite du haut
De ses epaules et de son dos
Elle envoie des mots, mais des mots qui tombent a l'eau
Merci Lily!
