I'm Not Twenty

Et voilà. The song which got me hooked to Alizée in the first place.

I first saw this on HITZ.TV and I got enthralled by her showmanship. Although I still don’t get what’s behind Mylène Farmer writing the “boogie-woogie” part for Alizée’s hit. I liken these lyrics to something Alizée once said : “Liking to seduce isn’t a sin… is it ?”

Alizée sings :

Looking for paradise
Is always on my mind
Morning light shining bright
Sing me a lullaby
Oh, baby, come to me, bring back simplicity
I’m here you see
So why hang on to me ?
Just write me poetry
If you’re okey-dokey

Get up and start to smile, guy
Do it for me
Wake up I’ll come around, man
Let’s do boogie-woogie

CHORUS:
It’s not even a game, get over your pain
I’m not twenty
Not even ashamed, could we celebrate ?
‘Cause I’m not twenty
And life goes on and on, I go as I come
Mélodie de vie (Mélodie de vie !)
I fly all alone, a light little stone
We get old at twenty (And I want to be free !)

Oh baby, baby mine
You’re always on my mind
Having fun is just fine
Your love I shall deny
Falling for me indeed, is diving in someone’s need
Love is too strong
I’ve fallen into me and freedom’s ecstasy
You can never go wrong (Never go wrong !)
(repeat chorus)

Now, do you and I agree ?
