Serge Gainsbourg - Beaudelaire lyrics

(Angela Stone, Grandmaster Flash)

I'm goin' down down down

We've been swingin' together for quite some time now

I think we've become more of habit than love ???

Baby you know I never hurt you intentionally

But I don't wanna lead you into the blind

And there's a strain

(Strain on my love chain)

(Causing me major migraines)

And for old times' sake I'll take the good memories me made

(To carry me through)

The loneliness due to life without you

You go your way and I'll go mine

Boy I think it's time

(Swing it swing it swing it swing it solo)

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but it's time to go

I gotta go

(Swing it swing it swing it swing it solo)

Swing it solo

(I don't wanna hurt your feelings but I gotta go)

Love I gave to you so young, wasn't up on what was real

Let you tear me down fill up with insecurities

Mama told me to be smart

Said baby don't you wear your heart on your sleeve

But I said it's not what you think mama, he won't hurt me

(Strain on my love chain)

(Causing me ???)

And for old times' sake I'll take the good memories we made

To carry me through the loneliness due to life without you

You go your way and I'll go mine

Boy I think it's time

(Swing it swing it swing it swing it solo)

Swing it solo

(I didn't mean to hurt you feelings)

(Swing it swing it swing it swing it solo)

Swing it

(I don't wanna hurt you but I gotta go)

I gotta go

Ooh

I'm goin' down down down

Oh my mama told me about you boy

And now I gotta go

(Swing it swing it swing it swing it solo)

Solo

I didn't mean to hurt you baby, no

(Swing it swing it swing it swing it solo)

(Swing it to the rest)

To the rest

(Swing it to the best)

To the best

(Swing it uptown, you know the best)

Uptown downtown, you know it

Ooh swing it

To ??? the best

(you know the rest)

Ooh

Hey baby

I gotta go gotta go gotta go

Ooh oh yeah

(Swing it swing it swing it swing it solo)

Swing it

I didn't mean to hurt you baby no

I gotta go I gotta go I gotta go

(Swing it swing it swing it swing it solo)

I didn't mean to hurt you

But it's time time time to go
