French Lyrics About a Man Telling Lies

Un homme peut dire mille mensonges

J’ai retenu la leçon

J’espère vivre assez longtemps pour raconter le secret que j’ai appris

D’ici là, il brûlera en moi

Over here, I write these lyrics in French

It's about how an angry French woman is screaming

She is complaining about how a man can tell a 1,000 LiEs
