Paris, it's the city of lovers
_____
She's been living in Paris for less than 3 months
_____
But she's already got it all, the how-to manual
_____
She uses tons of words I don't know
_____
Her friends have weird first names, Béné, Alix, FX, Elise-Ange
_____
Yeah, it's not their names, no
_____
That bother me, nor their bangs
_____
She keeps telling me we gotta catch up
_____
And brunch together one of these days
_____
And check out a show at 104, Larry Clark
_____
‘Cause madam's overbooked, always glued to her MacBook and
_____
And when she tells me we can bump into each other
_____
On Facebook, that's the last straw
_____
She's got white Converse
_____
I don't understand what she says anymore
_____
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
_____
She's got white Converse
_____
I don't understand what she says anymore
_____
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
_____
She lives in Paris, it's not like I’m judging
_____
It's so different past the périphérique
_____
It's not the same music, the same outfits
_____
Her mom, her buddies and their vodka tonics
_____
I see her less often because madam, yeah
_____
Heads to the sea for Easter
_____
Her friends have big houses, Saint-Briac
_____
Me, my Apache mug and my accent
_____
I know, it makes her right-thinking friends smile
_____
And yet, I often wait for her in the wind
_____
I'd like her to be a bit like before again
_____
But she and her Vélib are organic tomatoes and her iPhone
_____
While I struggle for hours at the intercom
_____
She's got white Converse
_____
I don't understand what she says anymore
_____
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
_____
She's got white Converse
_____
I don't understand what she says anymore
_____
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
_____
Cocktails, sarongs, banks of the Seine
_____
Madam complicates life by being a bohemian
_____
But where's the lady I love
_____
She's got white Converse
_____
I don't get anything she says
_____
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
_____
She's got white Converse
_____
I don't understand what she says anymore
_____
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
_____
I think she forgets me
_____
She's got new friends, you know
_____
And me, I hang out along the Seine
_____
But where's the lady I love
_____
I don't understand what she says anymore
_____
She lives in Paris, hope nothing changes
