The Professor & La Fille Danse Lyrics

She cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Well, closer to God is the one who's in love
And I walk away cause I can
Too many options may kill a man

Loving is fine if it's not in your mind
But I've fucked it up too many times
Loving is good if it's not understood
But I'm the professor and feel that I should know

What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What make the animal run, run away and
What makes him tick, apart from his prick
And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick?

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, no, no
Hell, I don't know you any more
No, no, no, no
Ooh yeah, hey hey

Well I don't know if I'm wrong 'cause she's only just gone
Here's to another relationship bombed

By my excellent breed of gamete disease
I finished it off with some French wine and cheese

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
