Donnez moi une suite au Ritz, je n'en veux pas!
Des bijoux de chez Chanel, je n'en veux pas!
Donnez moi une limousine, j'en ferais quoi, papalapapapala
Offrez moi du personnel, j'en ferais quoi?
Un manoir à Neufchatel, ce n'est pas pour moi
Offrez moi la Tour Eiffel, j'en ferais quoi, papalapapapala

Je veux d'l'amour, d'la joie, de la bonne humeur
Ce n'est pas votre argent qui f'ra mon bonheur
Moi j'veux crever la main sur le coeur, papalapapapala
Allons ensemble, découvrir ma liberté
Oubliez donc tous vos clichés, bienvenue dans ma réalité

J'en ai marre de vos bonnes manières, c'est trop pour moi!
Moi je mange avec les mains et j'suis comme ça!
J'parle fort et je suis franche, excusez moi!
Finie l'hypocrisie moi j'me casse de là!
J'en ai marre des langues de bois!
Regardez moi, toute manière j'vous en veux pas
Et j'suis comme ça (j'suis comme ça) papalapapapala

Je veux d'l'amour, d'la joie, de la bonne humeur
Ce n'est pas votre argent qui f'ra mon bonheur
Moi j'veux crever la main sur le coeur, papalapapapala
Allons ensemble, découvrir ma liberté
Oubliez donc tous vos clichés, bienvenue dans ma réalité

Je veux d'l'amour, d'la joie, de la bonne humeur
