He takes his chances

Lets the chips fall as they might

He books that transatlantic flight

She works all day can barely stay awake at night

We all must learn to sacrifice

But that's the way it goes

So they say

C est la vie

Put on your fancy clothes

Float away

From me

Yeah that's the way it goes

Put on your fancy clothes and ride away

And ride away

And ride away

Parisian summers and the winters in LA

For him it's more than just a dream

She cooks her dinner in her Jean Paul Gaultier

She can't imagine what he means

But that's the way it goes

So they say

C est la vie

Put on your fancy clothes

Float away

From me

Yeah that's the way it goes

Put on your fancy clothes and ride away

And ride away

And ride away

But that's the way it goes

So they say

C est la vie

Put on your fancy clothes

Float away

From me

Yeah that's the way it goes

So they say

C est la vie

Put on your fancy clothes

Float away

From me

Yeah that's the way it goes

Put on your fancy clothes and ride away
