J'AI GAGNE (I WON)

CITY COURTHOUSE/CROWDED ROOM
CROWDED WITH BRIDES/CROWDED WITH GROOMS
I WAS A WITNESS FOR MY FRIEND/AND WHEN WE WALKED OUT AGAIN
BEHIND HIS BACK/SHE CAUGHT MY EYE
SHE RAISED HER ARMS UP TO THE SKY
NO, THIS ONE WOULD NOT SLIP AWAY
HE DIDN'T HEAR THESE WORDS SHE SAID
SHE SAID J'AI GAGNE, J'AI GAGNE, OH IIIIII, J'AI GAGNE, J'AI GAGNE
I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON

SMALL APARTMENT HONEYMOON
HOTTER THAN AUGUST/SHORTER THAN JUNE
THEY WERE LIVING LARGE IN LOVE AND WAR
LOOK AT THE GOOD TIMES ROLL OUT THE DOOR
C'EST LA VIE/THE OLD FOLKS SAY
BUT AS I WATCHED HER HAIR TURN GRAY
SHE LAUGHED/SHE CRIED/SHE DRANK CHAMPAGNE
SHE HUNG ON THROUGH THAT HURRICANE

SHE SAID J'AI GAGNE....

IS THERE A MORAL TO THIS SONG?
WHETHER THINGS GO RIGHT OR WRONG
DO WHAT YOU MUST/OH JUST FEEL FREE
GO AHEAD, CLAIM VICTORY

COUPLA YEARS/VICIOUS FIGHTS
BROKEN BOTTLES/SWEET BITTER NIGHTS
OTHER WOMEN ON THE PHONE/WHERE'S HER PRIZE?
HE'S NEVER HOME
BUT AS WE CHANGED THE LOCKS THAT DAY
I WONDERED IF SHE'D BE OK
UNTIL SHE TOLD ME WHAT HER MOTHER SAID
YOU LOSE ONE MAN -- YOU FIND TEN

SHE SAID J'AI GAGNE...
