Michelle

Release date: 03 December 1965

Michelle, ma belle,
These are words that go together well,
My Michelle.

Michelle ma belle,
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble.

I love you, I love you, I love you,
That's all I want to say,
Until I find a way,
I will say the only words I know that you'll understand.

Michelle ma belle,
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble.

I need to, I need to, I need to,
I need to make you see,
Oh, what you mean to me.
Until I do I'm hoping you will know what I mean.

I love you.

I want you, I want you, I want you,
I think you know by now,
I'll get to you somehow.
Until I do I'm telling you, so you'll understand.

Michelle ma belle,
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble.

And I will say the only words
I know that you'll understand
My Michelle.
