Big Star's version of "Femme Fatale"

Post by Homme Fatale »

Can anybody tell me what they're singing on the chorus (and why)...? I can't make it out but it sure ain't "she's a femme fatale".

No, its in French. I think it's literally 'She's a Femme Fatale'.
"If anyone had a heart
They wouldn't turn around & break it
And if anyone played a part
They wouldn't turn around & fake it"
