[Verse 1]
It's a heartwarming song
For the easily moved
The effect is all wrong
Plain to see I'm not moved

[Verse 2]
As I stand in the light
Of a shop that is closed
God, I'd love me a fight
There's no poem just prose

[Chorus]
Edith Piaf said it better than me
“Je ne regrette rien”
Pretty song, but not intended for me
Time to put some Muzak on

[Verse 3]
There were no smoky dives
Few amours, fou or not
There were no petty crimes
Foreign substances bought

[Verse 4]
There were no midnight drives
With a crime boss's wife
Need a sentence at most
In assessing my life
[Chorus]
Edith Piaf said it better than me
“Je ne regrette rien”
Pretty song, but not intended for me
Time to put some Muzak on

[Bridge]
Drunken and short-lived flings
Montparnasse lights
Holding a hand of kings
My hunch was right
When's that night?

[Chorus]
Edith Piaf said it better than me
“Je ne regrette rien”
Pretty song, but not intended for me
Time to put some Muzak on

[Refrain 1]
Live fast and die young
Live fast and die young
Live fast and die young
Too late for that, too late for that

[Refrain 1]
Live fast and die young
Live fast and die young
Live fast and die young
Too late for that, too late for that
[Refrain 1]
Live fast and die young
Live fast and die young
Live fast and die young
Too late for that, too late for that

[Refrain 1]
Live fast and die young
Live fast and die young
Live fast and die young
Too late for that, too late for that

[Verse 5]
Think of one single night
One so strong, you're aflame
Well, I'm sorry, time's up
Sorry, nothing will change

[Chorus]
Edith Piaf said it better than me
“Je ne regrette rien”
Pretty song, but not intended for me
Time to put some Muzak on
Edith Piaf said it better...

[Refrain 2]
Born to be bad
I was born to be bad
I was born to be bad
Not this time, not this time
[Refrain 2]
Born to be bad
I was born to be bad
I was born to be bad
Not this time, not this time

[Final Chorus]
Edith Piaf said it better than me
(Live fast and die young, live fast and die young)
“Je ne regrette rien”
(Live fast and die young, too late for that, too late for that)
Pretty song but not intended for me
(Live fast and die young, live fast and die young)
Listen, there is Muzak on
(Live fast and die young, too late for that, too late for that)
Edith Piaf said it better
