[Verse 1]
I get it now, you think you're my father (My father)
With you, everything's upside down
If I speak my mind, the man gets angry (Gets angry)
No, I, I never signed up for this (For this)
[Pre-Hook]
You want to make me dance (Dance)
But I don't feel like dancing (Nan-nan-nan-nan-nan)
You want to make me give in (Give in)
But I've already caught your little game
[Chorus]
Forty-two
In my mind we are forty-two
What do you want? You want it to be just the two of us
But that's dead, we are forty-two
Forty-two
In my mind we are forty-two
What do you want? You want it to be just the two of us
But that's dead, we are forty-two
[Verse 2]
(How, how, how) How, how, tell me how, how
(How)
We're supposed to build a connection — I don't think this is your moment
I have no time for nonsense, but that you just don't get (That's not on me, hey)
I'm gonna tell you the truth: we have nothing in common
[Hook]
G, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
In your head, chaos, chaos (Chaos)
I'm not the type to get attached, attached (Attached)
You confused me with someone I'm not
I'd been watching you for a while — I saw red with rage
You're so clueless (I'd been watching you — I saw red with rage)
[Chorus]
Forty-two
In my mind we are forty-two
What do you want? You want it to be just the two of us
But that's dead, we are forty-two
Forty-two
In my mind we are forty-two
What do you want? You want it to be just the two of us
But that's dead, we are forty-two
[Bridge] (Creole/Wolof – phonetic, kept as original)
Veja deja
J'me rappelle la geja veij
Elle a geia veia
Aloga Jogga veia veia

Il a beya ouh ché ouh ouh
Il a bouya bouté tou-jours
Il a bugarou c'est doux, ouh doux
Elle a du yabouté ché
[Outro / Chorus]
Forty-two
In my mind we are forty-two
What do you want? You want it to be just the two of us
But that's dead, we are forty-two
Forty-two
In my mind we are forty-two
What do you want? You want it to be just the two of us
But that's dead, we are forty-two
