Madeleine lyrics
by Rivers Cuomo
You gotta know what you want, girl
You gotta know what you want in life
And if the whole world burns in fire
We'll be right here behind you, we'll be singing
Madeleine, let me hold you
Before the bar is closing down
Before you're leaving town for good
Let me sing you one last song
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Woah, oh, woah oh
And when you're winning, we'll be singing:
Madeleine I hope you're well
You gotta love yourself 'fore you love somebody
You gotta try it all before you know who you are
Self-assured all the heavy-hearted
She took my hand and said 'I hope that we will meet again'
Oh, oh, oh, oh Madeleine
There's no one quite like you, ooh, ooh, ooh
Will we be friends?
Madeleine, let me hold you
Before the bar is closing down
Before you're leaving town for good
Let me sing you one last song
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Woah, oh, woah oh
And when you're winning, we'll be singing:
Madeleine I hope you're well
I hope you're well
I hope you're well
'Cause living in the shadows is no fun
Come out and play, come out and play
As the setting of the sun, you've gotta see
Madeleine, let me hold you
Before the bar is closing down
Before you're leaving town for good
Let me sing you one last song
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Woah, oh, woah oh
And when you're winning, we'll be singing:
Madeleine I hope you're well
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Woah, oh, woah oh
And when you're winning, we'll be singing:
Madeleine I hope you're well
