Back to the English Class

We walked arm in arm
But I didn't feel his touch
The desire I'd first tried to hide
That tingling* inside, was gone                                                                                       * (picotement)         

And when he asked me
“Do you still love me?”
I had to look away
I didn't want to tell him
That my heart grows colder with each day

Chorus

When you've loved so long
That the thrill* is gone                                                                                                     * (frisson)
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are on
A train to train-wreck town
Then I ask you now
What's a girl to do?*                       * (formulation un peu familière pour dire What should a girl do ?)

He said he'd take me away
That we'd work things out*                                                                                             * (résoudre)
And I didn't want to tell him
But it was then I had to say

Over the times we've shared
It's all blackened out
And my bat-lightning heart
Wants to fly away

Chorus

What's a girl to do
What's a girl to do
What's a girl to do
