| I bought a ticket to Paris, not for the food or the art
 | 
| For once I ignored my reasons from before
 | 
| For once I followed my heart
 | 
| And all I took was a suitcase and my favorite guitar
 | 
| For once I could see there was nothing else I need
 | 
| For once I followed my heart, for once I followed my heart
 | 
| Don’t want to go to the Eiffel Tower
 | 
| Don’t want to see the Mona Lisa
 | 
| Don’t want to spend every waking hour
 | 
| Inside an old cathedral, I have no need
 | 
| For the palace at Versailles
 | 
| If it were up to me we’d spend the whole week inside
 | 
| But I guess that’s typical of a stupid American guy
 | 
| We went and met her whole family
 | 
| We took a walk in the park, for once I could see
 | 
| There’s nothing else I need, for once I followed my heart
 | 
| Don’t want to go to the Eiffel Tower
 | 
| Don’t want to see the Mona Lisa
 | 
| Don’t want to spend every waking hour
 | 
| Inside an old cathedral, I have no need
 | 
| For the palace at Versailles
 | 
| If it were up to me we’d spend the whole week inside
 | 
| But I guess that’s typical of a stupid American guy
 | 
| Baby, I won’t go back to the states
 | 
| Unless you’re coming with me Baby, New York City can wait, it can wait
 | 
| Don’t want to go to the Eiffel Tower
 | 
| Don’t want to see the Mona Lisa
 | 
| Don’t want to spend every waking hour
 | 
| Inside an old cathedral, I have no need
 | 
| For the palace at Versailles
 | 
| If it were up to me we’d spend the whole week inside
 | 
| But I guess that’s typical of a stupid American guy |
