Pas gentille [English translation]

People who see me

Say about me:

She's not nice.

She's not nice.

No, not very nice.

Even all my friends

Also say:

She's not nice.

She's not nice,

Not always nice.

And now, only recently,

I go out every night

And these people here would say,

If they discovered that I get home so late:

This girl could be lead astray.

But if they could even fathom how much I love you,

They'd say:

This girl who isn't nice,

Could change.

Yes, and now only recently

I go out every night

And these people here would say,

If they discovered I get home so late:

This girl could be lead astray.

But if they could even fathom how much I love you,

They'd say:

This girl who isn't nice,

Could change.

And they would be right.

You can change me.
