(I need you, I need you there)
(I need you, will you be there?)
(I need you, I need you there)
(I need you, will you be there?)

It's been almost twenty years since we met
We formed a strange relationship
I entered your ears and your homes
I told you my stories
Some of them you liked, you showed me
You seem to know me so well
In the street, you often addressed me informally
And I did too, I must admit

We don't really know each other but we know each other well
We interact in a strange way
What is certain is that we have at least one thing in common
We shared my songs
I used you and maybe that's our bond
But without asking for your opinion
Because in all my lyrics, if you look closely
I put the reflection of your lives

I put your reflections (I need you)
Your reflections (I need you there)
In all my verses (I need you)
My verses (will you be there?)
And if you like it (I need you)
You like it (I need you there)
Then I will do it again (I need you)
I will do it again (will you be there?)

Every day, I live you, I read you, I see you
And I integrate you into my stories
I put a bit of life, a bit of you, a bit of me
A lot of desire and a bit of hope
The more personal my text is, the more I talk about myself
The more I talk about you, it's strange
It's a strange system, it's a strange law
I think our reflections mix

I don't know anymore if it's you who inspired me
I don't know who is the mirror of the other
I write about this doubt and this ambiguity
That's why my songs are yours
So during concerts when we all sing together
You can understand my emotion
To see in music that we are alike
You look at me, it's me who sees you

I put your reflections (I need you)
Your reflections (I need you there)
In all my verses (I need you)
My verses (will you be there?)
And if you like it (I need you)
You like it (I need you there)
Then I will do it again (I need you)
I will do it again (will you be there?)

In all my quatrains, in all my choruses
I put a bit of your reflections
As if I were talking about my friends, my neighbors
As if I were talking about my brothers
And when you hear me, whatever your reactions
And whatever your state
Know that in truth, in the near future, I will do it again
And even if you don't like it

I put your reflections (I need you)
Your reflections (I need you there)
In all my verses (I need you)
My verses (will you be there?)
And if you like it (I need you)
You like it (I need you there)
Then I will do it again (I need you)
I will do it again (will you be there?)

I put your reflections (I need you)
Your reflections (I need you there)
In all my verses (I need you)
My verses (will you be there?)
And if you like it (I need you)
You like it (I need you there)
Then I will do it again (I need you)
I will do it again (will you be there?)
