Françoise Hardy - I Wish It Were Me lyrics

By the way she was smiling
With her eyes so beguiling
I could tell at a glance
That I hadn't a chance

She is almost too lovely but
I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want
To be looking my way

It's a strange fascination to
Be faced with temptation
Should you answer her call
Are you going to fall?

She is almost too lovely but
I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want
To be falling for me

What would I do, were I in her place?
When love is new, it's so hard to face

Is her love so much stronger that
You want me no longer
Has she taken my place with
Her sweet angel face

She is almost too lovely
Still I wish it were me
Then you might know how it feels
When you're trying to hide
All of the pain that you
Made my heart suffer inside
