Les hommes qui passent Maman 
M'envoient toujours des cartes postales 
Des Bahamas Maman 
Les hommes qui passent tout l'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 coeur à marée basse 
Des envies d'océan 

Les hommes qui passent pourtant 
Qu'est-ce que j'aimerais en voler un 
Pour un mois pour un an 
Les hommes qui passent Maman 
Ne m'donnent jamais rien que d'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 coeur d'enfant perdant 

Les hommes qui passent pourtant 
Qu'est-ce que j'aimerais en voler un 
Pour un mois pour un an 
Les hommes qui passent Maman 
Ne m'donnent jamais rien que d'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'aimerais en voler un 
Pour un mois pour un an 
Les hommes qui passent Maman 
Ne m'donnent jamais rien que d'l'argent

Les hommes qui passent Maman 
Les hommes qui passent Maman 
Les hommes qui passent pourtant 
Les hommes qui passent Maman
