Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
Cherchez La Femme
You say you don't need anybody
Never did in the past
And you never will
Can I remind you
of all those nights of desolation
When the walls around you
put your mind in isolation
Yo! Cherchez La Femme
Find yourself a woman
you'll find she is the light
to change the night again
Cherchez La Femme
You need to find a woman
To calm the beast inside
before it strikes a friend.
Gently now. . . (musical interlude)
You know your heart. . . .
needs a little conversation
so do your part. . . ..
send a little invitation.
Yo! Cherchez La Femme
You found yourself a woman
You know she is the one
to make you come undone, my friend
Cherchez La Femme
Kiss the golden woman
You've got to spend the time
to wine and dine, to win
Cherchez La Femme
Find yourself a woman
You know she'll mystify you
Lead you into sin
Cherchez La Femme
You need a little woman
you've got to love her, tease her, please her
Need her to the end.
Cherchez La Femme
There is no other woman
You've got to hold her, squeeze her, seize her
'til she comes again
Cherchez La Femme
There is no other woman
You've got to hug her, knead her, feed her
read her, lead her, heed her, seed her... etc.
