Songtext Perfect love gone wrong Sting

Perfect love gone wrong

I've had a question that's been preying on my mind for some time

I won't be wagging my tail for one good reason

It has to be a crime


This dog house never was the place for me,
Runner up and second best just ain't my pedigree

I was so happy, just the two of us

Until this alpha male
Turned up in the January sale


He won't love you
Like I love you

It won't be long now before that puppy goes astray

And what I like about this guy the most
He'd be my favourite lamp post

Devil take the hindmost


Je sais que c'est dur, mais il faut se faire au changement, tu vois
J'ai neglige le primordial pendant trop longtemps crois moi

Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mais ?a s'attenuera
Car c'est d'un homme plus d'un chien don't j'ai besoin pres de moi

Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c'est comme ?a
N'en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t'eloigner de moi

Faut que tu comprennes, puisque tu dis m'aimer tant que ?a
Desormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi

It's a shaggy kind of story

Would I tell you if I thought it was a lie?

But when the cat's away the mouse will play,
I wouldn't dish around here
There's something fishy 'round here


I howl all night and I sleep all day

It takes more than biscuit, baby, to chase these blues away
I've got a long enough leash

I could almost hang myself
It's a dogs life loving you baby
But you love someone else

Now he's moved by basket
I'd like to put him in a casket
I'll wear my best collar to his funeral


Ta mauvaise foi, j'aimerais bien que ?a s'arrete
Me separer de toi, aujourd'hui ?a trotte dans ma tete

Moi non, j'en peux plus, tu n'est q'un chien, c'est trop bete

La situation m'avait pourtant l'air d'etre des pius nette
C'est clair, que je l'aime c'est un fait, ton ego'sme m'inquiete
Apres toutes ces soirees passees seuis en tete a tete

Chaque chose a une fin, et c'est la fin de la fete

Pour toi, car bientàt il n'y aura plus que lui et moi, lui et moi.


To have found this perfect life

And a perfect love so strong

Well there can't be nothing worse

Than a perfect love gone wrong


You said I wasn't just your Christmas toy
I'd always be your boy
I'd be your faithful companion

And I would follow you through every thick and thin
Don't need nobody else

And we don't need him
