Lyrics and translation Taj Mahal - Built for Comfort
Some
folk
built
like
this,
some
folk
built
like
that
Certaines
personnes
sont
comme
ça,
d'autres
comme
ci
But
the
way
I′m
built,
don't
you
call
me
fat
Mais
telle
que
je
suis,
ne
m'appelle
pas
gros
Because
I′m
built
for
comfort,
I
ain't
built
for
speed
Car
je
suis
fait
pour
le
confort,
pas
pour
la
vitesse
But
I
got
everything
all
the
good
girl
need
Mais
j'ai
tout
ce
dont
une
gentille
fille
a
besoin
Some
folk
rip
and
run,
some
folk
believe
in
signs
Certains
déchirent
et
courent,
d'autres
croient
aux
signes
But
if
you
want
me,
baby
you
got
to
take
your
time
Mais
si
tu
me
veux,
ma
chérie,
tu
dois
prendre
ton
temps
Because
I'm
built
for
comfort,
I
ain′t
built
for
speed
Car
je
suis
fait
pour
le
confort,
pas
pour
la
vitesse
But
I
got
everything
all
the
good
girl
need
Mais
j'ai
tout
ce
dont
une
gentille
fille
a
besoin
I
ain′t
have
no
diamond,
I
ain't
have
no
gold
Je
n'ai
pas
de
diamants,
je
n'ai
pas
d'or
But
I
do
have
lovin′
to
satisfy
your
soul
Mais
j'ai
de
l'amour
pour
combler
ton
âme
Because
I'm
built
for
comfort,
I
ain′t
built
for
speed
Car
je
suis
fait
pour
le
confort,
pas
pour
la
vitesse
But
I
got
everything
all
you
good
women
need
Mais
j'ai
tout
ce
dont
tu
as
besoin,
ma
gentille
