Roxy Music - All I Want is You

L'amour, toujours l'amour...

Which makes me think, I should post songs in french...

A litany of all the credentials which make a man a true gentleman -- etiquette, enunciation, and devil-may-care insouciance -- is swept aside by a supremely swaggering Ferry, because all he wants is you.
(allmusic)

Who cares about etiquette, anyway!






Somebody told me just the other day
That you're leaving me, we're through
Well if you knew how it hurt me so
Then you'd change your mind, I'm sure

Don't want to hear what's going on
I don't care what's new
Don't want to know about anything
cause all I want is you

Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since I fell in love with you
I need you more and more

Don't want to know about one-night-stands
Cut-price souvenirs
All I want is the real thing
And a night that lasts for years
If you ever change your mind
I've a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L'amour, toujours l´amour...

Don't want to learn about etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should I try to talk correct
Like they do in another scenes
Say no more about imagery
You're starting to confuse
Just make an offer
Of more romance
Of course I can't refuse
All I want is you
Oo oo i'm all cracked up on you

(1974)
