Francoise Hardy - I Wish It Were Me lyrics

By the way she was smiling, with her eyes so beguiling I could tell at a glance that I hadn't a chance She is almost too lovely but I wish it were me Then I know you'd only want to be looking my way It's a strange fascination to be faced with temptation Should you answer her call, are you going to fall? She is almost too lovely but I wish it were me Then I know you'd only want to be falling for me What would I do, were I in her place? When love is new, it's so hard to face Is her love so much stronger that you want me no longer Has she taken my place with her sweet angel face She is almost too lovely, still I wish it were me Then you might know how it feels when you're trying to hide All of the pain that you made my heart suffer inside
