| All the flights were grounded, so I headed for the homeward sign
|
| Didn’t think to call you, I had my watch set on Parisien time
|
| There she was, her fingers in my house, lying on her back in my bed
|
| Wasn’t what I’d hardly expected, and oh God I wish I were dead
|
| Chorus:
|
| I found her red heeled stilletoes, I watched them burn in my fire
|
| One weekend in Paris, I’m gone for good
|
| All her clothes were scattered, her perfume hanging in the air
|
| Through the door her laughter, getting louder but you didn’t care
|
| There it was, her lipstick, her make-up
|
| Her painted nails still touching your skin
|
| Could not believe what my eyes were watching, and oh God, will I ever win
|
| chorus
|
| I drove round till 4 a.m., had a cold coffee and then
|
| I made up my mind, my watch would stay on Parisien time
|
| She can keep her head on my pillow, she can watch my ceiling, my floor
|
| She can check herself in my mirror, 'cause I won’t be doin' that no more
|
| chorus repeats 2x |
