[Verse 1]
City of love
City of lies
You get what you give
And I won't give it twice
So here I am now
Three seats to myself
And out the plane window
It looks like a quilt

[Chorus]
And you're pulling in to work
I know you're always right on time
And it's strange how it still hurts
Even on the other side
But I won't be gone for too long
I'm in Paris for a song

[Verse 2]
City of love
Be good to me
My weary heart
And my aching feet
Coffee alone
And a paper I can’t read
On the Champs-Élysées
You should be here with me
[Chorus 2]
But you're driving in the dark
Down Highway 65
And I'm sorry that we fight
Baby, let’s make up somеtime
'Cause I won't be gonе for too long
I'm in Paris for a song

[Instrumental break]

[Reprise]
Here on the other side
In my hand’s my guitar
The people smile and clap their hands
Singin' about you is still hard

[Outro]
But I won't be gone for too long
I'm in Paris for this song
