[Verse 1]
I was blinded by the fever and the devilish demeanour
Turned me round like ballerina, I was hooked on every move
Had a twisted reputation, lured me in with his persuasion
A little two-step syncopation
Knew right then that I was doomed

[Pre]
I think it's poetic the way
I can rhyme apathetic with the line
You're so pathetic, I can't be-lieve
[Hook]
C'est la vie, he said to me
As he danced on my heart and he knocked me off my feet
I believed
He wouldn't leave
What a twist, what a turn, what a lie, what a tragedy
[Post]
C'est la vie, c'est la vie Oh, c'est la vie, c'est la vie C'est la vie Oh, c'est la vie, baby, c'est la vie

[Verse 2]
I was tempted by the rhythm as he swayed all my decisions
Didn't know I was the victim, he was my Achilles heel Moved his body like a weapon
Drew me in with his deception
A little two-step misdirection, spun me round and disappeared
[Pre]
I think it's poetic the way
I can rhyme apathetic with the line
You're so pathetic, I can't be-lieve
[Hook]
C'est la vie, he said to me
As he danced on my heart and he knocked me off my feet
I believed
He wouldn't leave
What a twist, what a turn, what a lie, what a tragedy
[Post]
C'est la vie, c'est la vie Oh, c'est la vie, c'est la vie C'est la vie Oh, c'est la vie, baby, c'est la vie

[Reprise]
C'est la vie, he said to me
What a twist, what a turn, what a lie, what a tragedy
[Post]
C'est la vie, c'est la vie Oh, c'est la vie, c'est la vie C'est la vie Oh, c'est la vie, baby, c'est la vie
