Ziggy, il s'appelle Ziggy Je suis folle de lui C'est un garçon pas comme les autres Mais moi je l'aime, c'est pas de ma faute Même si je sais Qu'il ne m'aimera jamais Ziggy, il s'appelle Ziggy Je suis folle de lui La première fois que je l'ai vu Je me suis jetée sur lui dans la rue Je lui ai seulement dit Que j'avais envie de lui Il était quatre heures du matin J'étais seule et j'avais besoin De parler à quelqu'un Il m'a dit, "Viens prendre un café" Et on s'est raconté nos vies On a ri, on a pleuré Ziggy, il s'appelle Ziggy C'est mon seul ami Dans sa tête y'a que de la musique Il vend des disques dans une boutique On dirait qu'il vit Dans une autre galaxie Tous les soirs, il m'emmène danser Dans des endroits très, très gais Où il a des tas d'amis Oui, je sais, il aime les garçons Je devrais me faire une raison Essayer de l'oublier, mais Ziggy, il s'appelle Ziggy Je suis folle de lui C'est un garçon pas comme les autres Et moi je l'aime, c'est pas de ma faute Même si je sais Qu'il ne m'aimera jamais
