Oh l'amour Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you Mon amour What's a boy in love supposed to do? Looking for you,you were looking for me Always reaching for you, you were too blind to see Oh love of my heart why leave me alone? I'm falling apart, no good on my own Oh l'amour Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you Mon amour What's a boy in love supposed to do? Why throw it away? Why walk out on me? I just live for the day, for the way it should be There once was a time I had you here by my side You said I wasn't your kind, only here for the ride Oh l'amour Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you Mon amour What's a boy in love supposed to do? No emotional ties, you don't remember my name I lay down and die, I'm only to blame Oh love of my heart, it's up to you now You tore me apart, I hurt inside-out Oh l'amour Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you Mon amour What's a boy in love supposed to do?
