Michelle is too obvious. Ma Belle Amie.
Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma!
Love is Blue.

Of course there are no others, R there?

"Dominique" - Singing Nun I think had a mix, or was it two separate
language versions?

Also from the '70's: "Tonight's the Night" - Rod Stewart

There's one with Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir, but it's not
from the 60's.

Some of these stray from the 60's:

"The French Song" - Lucille Starr
"Chantez Chantez" - Dinah Shore
"Chanson d'Amour" - Art and Dotty Todd
"Ca C'est l'Amour" - Tony Bennett
"Melodie d'Amour" - Ames Bros.
"Hold on Tight" - ELO

Stretching it a bit - but the lyrics do include "un, deux, trois, quatre":
"Delaware" - Perry Como
