Lyrics and translation Jonathan Richman - Not So Much to Be Loved As to Love
I
used
to
walk
all
over
town
J'avais
l'habitude
de
me
promener
dans
toute
la
ville
All

Partout

up
and
down

promener
de
haut
en
bas

up
and
down

Waiting
for

from

Attendant
l'amour
de
quelqu'un
I
was
waiting
for
affection
J'attendais
de
l'affection
But
I
was
looking
in
the
wrong

je
regardais
dans
la

What
I
needed
was
not

A

A
