John's in love with Joan
Joan's in love with Jim
Jim's in love with someone who's
Not in love with him
What was meant to be
Mocked him

C'est la vie
C'est la vie

Life's a funny thing
When it comes to love
You don't always conquer
The one you're dreamin' of

As they say in old Paris,
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
(C'est la vie)

Those who fall in love agree
It's the unsolved mystery
If your big romance cannot see
You'll find someone who?

(C'est la vie)

But there's those?
Here's the reason why
She just found a sweetheart
But no one's gonna cry

Though she stole his love from me
C'est la vie
C'est la vie

Though she stole his love from me
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
