Lyrics
V.1- I love the Beauty of the Seine,
And seeing the bateaux,
As I stroll along
with a handsome French man
But, no
I'm in California
And, it's not so glamorous
As I type away on my ordinateur
Pre-chorus- At my desk
I think maybe life could
be better
If only I, if only I could
get away
Ch.- I want to go to Paris again
I want to have a fabulous life
I want to go to Paris again
I know that I'll be fine
When I'm in Paris
V.2- I'll have to get out my old
scarves
And act so nonchalant
Like I wear them here all of the
time
And, I'll have to practice my francais
Think of clever things to say
Like excuse me monsieur
Ou est le musee d'orsay?
Pre-ch.- Over here
I'm quiet, I am shy
But over there, over there,
I'll come alive
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: I want to live my life more slowly
Like the French drink their wine
Like the river flows by...
Ch.- I want to go to Paris again
I want to have a fabulous life
I want to go to Paris again
I know that I'll be fine
When I'm in Paris
