Les hommes qui passent maman
M'envoient toujours des cartes postales
Des Bahamas maman
Les hommes qui passent tout le temps
Sont musiciens artistes peintres
Ou comédiens
Souvent.

Les hommes qui passent maman
M'offrent toujours une jolie chambre
Avec terrasse maman
Les hommes qui passent je sens
Qu'ils ont le cœur à marée basse des
Envies d'océan.

Les hommes qui passent pourtant
Qu'est-ce que j'aimerai en voler un
Pour un mois pour un an
Les hommes qui passent maman
Les hommes qui passent tout le temps
Ne me donnent jamais rien que de l'argent.

Les hommes qui passent maman
Leurs nuits d'amour sont des étoiles
Qui laissent des traces maman
Les hommes qui passent violents
Sont toujours ceux qui ont gardé
Un cœur d'enfant perdant.

Les hommes qui passent pourtant
Qu'est-ce que j'aimerai en voler un
Pour un mois pour un an
Les hommes qui passent maman
Ne me donnent jamais rien que de l'argent.

Les hommes qui passent maman
Ont des sourires qui sont un peu
Comme des grimaces maman
Les hommes qui passent troublants
Me laissent toujours avec mes rêves
Et mes angoisses d'avant.

Les hommes qui passent pourtant
Qu'est-ce que j'aimerai en voler un
Pour un mois pour un an
Les hommes qui passent maman
Ne me donnent jamais rien que de l'argent.

Les hommes qui passent maman
Les hommes qui passent maman
Les hommes qui passent pourtant
Les hommes qui passent maman.
