More Info
And who could ever question any cryin’ I do?
My heavy heart is beating out of rhythm all ni-ee-ight inside me
And I fall a little harder everytime that I do
Watch me living it up
You totally
Got me stuck in a rut
You’re made for me
How’m I gonna step up
And say to you
I got the feeling, boy, I want you, want you
The conversation is tough
Because you’re totally
Walking round all the stuff
You wanna say to me
Words are never enough
Oh baby baby, you turn my dust to gold
I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking talking now
Oh, I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking, oh oh oh
I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking talking now
Oh, I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking, oh oh oh
I gotta let you know
I wanna give into my temptation
And let my feelings show
I gotta let you know-oh-oh-oh
I gotta let you know
I wanna give into my temptation
And let my feelings show
I gotta let you know-oh-oh-oh
Ohhh, ooh!
I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking talking now
Oh, I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking, oh oh oh
I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking talking now
Oh, I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking, oh oh oh
I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking talking now
Oh, I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking, oh oh oh
I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking talking now
Oh, I can’t speak French so I let the funky music do the talking, oh oh oh
“Can’t Speak French” is a song performed by British all-female pop group Girls Aloud, taken from their fourth studio album Tangled Up (2007). The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania, and produced by Higgins and Xenomania. Described as “a swirling, slower cut with great jazzy guitar changes,” Higgins said it was “the easiest Girls Aloud single they made.” Upon its release in March 2008, “Can’t Speak French” charted within the top ten on the UK Singles Chart, continuing their five-year streak of top ten hits.
The music video sees Girls Aloud seduce guests at a dinner party in elaborate costumes inspired by Marie Antoinette and 18th century French fashions. “Can’t Speak French” was promoted through numerous live appearances and has since been performed on all of Girls Aloud’s subsequent tours. The “sultry” song received praise from most contemporary musics, cited as an example of Xenomania’s creativity. Can’t Speak French by Girls Aloud – Wikipedia
