American in Paris

Martini glass on my cheek to keep from blushing

You speak in cursive but I understand nothing

Even pretty things can hurt sometimes

Saturday was as drag just like the others

Keep my mind under wraps, heart under covers

Even tears can fall inside Versailles

Keep walking this road

Heels on cobblestone

Thought I was alone but

From the moment you walked in I froze

 I’m a full on Monet, don’t get close

Daydreams will break

Don’t break me now

From the moment our eyes locked I broke

Babe you’re looking at me like a Van Gogh

Daydreams will break

Don’t be carless

I’m just an American in Paris

I’m American yeah

Just an American yeah

A dumb American

American in Paris

I’m American yeah

Just an American yeah

A dumb American

American in Paris

Palms are sweaty, I hope you don’t shake my hand

I’m a piece of work, you’re a piece of art and

Was I acting weird or like myself

Keep walking this road

Heels on cobblestone

Thought I was alone but

Daydreams will break

Don’t break me now

From the moment our eyes locked I broke

Babe you’re looking at me like a Van Gogh

Daydreams will break

Don’t be carless

I’m just an American in Paris

I’m American yeah

Just an American yeah

A dumb American

American in Paris

I’m American yeah

Just an American yeah

A dumb American

American in Paris
