When in Rome do as the French do in Spain
Lemme, fall down in German, get me back up again
Fly me hell bent for leather, up to the moon
You better, wipe that indecision off your face
Come with me you can do it
Don't be the fool who blew it
You gotta get into it, uh huh

Chorus: Comment Ca Va baby, how are you doin' darling
Comment Ca Va Cheri, Ciao Bella, Bellissimo

Verse: 2
Come be my diamond, sparkle, my senses silly
Lemme, whisper sweet something in you ear
I think you're ready for a, lobotomy
You got me screaming love... all over the place
Shower me with your kisses
Make me your only missus
Respect me, love me like yo ho

Chorus:
Comment Ca Va baby, how are you doin' darling
Comment Ca Va Cheri, Comon' and quit your foolin'
Comon' an' kiss me honey, you're SO right it's not funny
Comment Ca Va, Ca Va, Ca Va bien

Bridge:
J'Taime, Tiamo
Let's do it, Italiano
Un nan codelle li crane (? - check spelling for "I love you" in Tamal, Indian)
Comon' baby, No Risk, No Gain!

Chorus:
Comment Ca Va baby, How are you doin' darling
Comment Ca Va Cheri, Comon' an' quit your foolin'
Comon' and kiss me honey, you're SO right it's not funny
Comment Ca Va Ca Va bien
Comment Ca Va baby, How are you doin' darling
Comment Ca Va Shatzy, lemme hear you say something charming
Ciao Bella, Bellissimo, Come with me mi amore
Mein Shatzy, na maste, I must be gettin' rusty...

Tag:
I must be gettin' rusty x 3
Take me to Zanzabar
Come on make me a star
In the back seat of your car...

When Alannah Myles played the role of a young aspiring singer on an episode of The Kids Of Degrassi Street, it was more than just an act. Less than a decade later, the daughter of Canadian Hall Of Fame Broadcaster William Douglas Byles would be a Grammy and Juno Award-winning singer best known for her 1990 international hit “Black Velvet”.

Myles (who changed her last name from Byles as a teen) began writing songs at nine and was participating in Toronto’s Kiwanis Music Festival at twelve. While gigging solo at nineteen across southern Ontario, songwriter/musician Christopher Ward invited her to form a rock and blues cover band with him. During this time Ward became MuchMusic’s first VJ.

Ward spent seven years trying to get Myles signed. He produced a three song demo for her, and her entertainment lawyer Stephen Stohn came up with the idea of making a ‘video demo’ of Myles singing “Just One Kiss”. This finally attracted Warner Music Canada in 1987. The demo was passed along to Warner’s US affiliate labels and Atlantic Records also took interest.
