So
you
met
someone
who
set
you
back
on
your
heels,
goody,
goody
Alors
tu
as
rencontré
quelqu'un
qui
t'a
remis
sur
tes
pieds,
bien,
bien
And
you
met
someone
and
now
you
know
how
it
feels,
goody,
goody
Et
tu
as
rencontré
quelqu'un
et
maintenant
tu
sais
ce
que
c'est,
bien,
bien
So
you
gave
him
your
heart
too
Alors
tu
lui
as
donné
ton
cœur
aussi
Just
as
I
gave
mine
to
you,
Comme
je
t'ai
donné
le
mien,
And
he
broke
it
in
little
pieces
now
how
do
you
do
Et
il
l'a
brisé
en
petits
morceaux
maintenant
comment
vas-tu
Well
you
lie
awake
just
singing
the
blues
all
night,
goody,
goody
Eh
bien,
tu
restes
éveillé
en
chantant
le
blues
toute
la
nuit,
bien,
bien
And
you
think
that
love's
a
barrel
of
dynamite
Et
tu
penses
que
l'amour
est
un
baril
de
dynamite
Hurray
and
Hallelujah,
you
had
it
coming
to
you
Hourra
et
alléluia,
tu
l'avais
bien
mérité
Goody
goody
for
him,
goody
goody
for
me
Bien,
bien
pour
lui,
bien,
bien
pour
moi
And
I
hope
you′re
satisfied
you
rascal
you
Et
j'espère
que
tu
es
satisfait,
toi
le
coquin
And
I
don′t
like
your
peaches
'cause
they
are
full
of
stones
Et
je
n'aime
pas
tes
pêches
parce
qu'elles
sont
pleines
de
pépins

I
like
bananas,
because
they
have
no
bones
Mais

de
pépins
