Le pour et le contre - Michel Delpech

Il t’a propos un caf, tu pesais le pour et le contre

T’avais rien contre discuter, t’avais rien contre une rencontre

Mme si tu t’es tant de fois, fait embarquer sur des radeaux

Qui disaient tre des trois-mts, lui dire «Non» t’aurait cot trop

Lui dire «Non» t’aurait cot trop

Dans un petit bar de quartier, caf froid sur chocolat chaud

Tu l’as laiss se raconter, il n’essayait pas d’tre beau

Il n’essayait pas d’enrober, tu pesais le pour et le contre

Il te regardait l’couter et te sentait jouer la montre

Et te sentait jouer la montre

Tu t’es laisse faire pour cette fois comme chaque fois tu t’es laisse faire

Il aura dcid pour toi, comme les autres parce que la Terre

Suit sa course et qu’on ne peut pas, la laisser tourner sans chercher

lui emboter le pas, sinon, elle va nous chapper

Sinon, la Terre nous chappera

Et dans ton lit, un peu plus tard, mme quand il a dit qu’il t’aimait

Quand il a dit qu’il attendrait, que tu ne veuilles plus le dcevoir

Tu ne savais pas quoi rpondre, mme le jour, dehors, hsitait

Il pesait le pour et le contre, et puis quand mme il se levait

Et puis quand mme il se levait.

He offered you a coffee, you weighed the pros and cons

You had nothing against discussing, you had nothing against meeting

Even if you got so many times, got on rafts

Who said they were three-meters, telling him "No" would have cost you too much

Telling him “No” would have cost you too much

In a small neighborhood bar, cold coffee on hot chocolate

You let him talk, he wasn't trying to be handsome

He wasn't trying to sugarcoat, you were weighing the pros and cons

He watched you listen and felt you play the clock

And felt you play the clock

You let yourself go this time like every time you let yourself go

He will have decided for you, like the others because the Earth

Follows its course and we can't, let it run without looking

follow in her footsteps, otherwise she'll slip away from us

Otherwise the Earth will slip away from us

And in your bed, a little later, even when he said he loved you

When he said he would wait, you don't want to disappoint him anymore

You didn't know what to answer, even in the daytime, outside, hesitated

He weighed the pros and cons, and then when even he stood up

And then still he got up.
