Lyrics: Paris

Paris

(this is a transcription and may not be accurate)

I could be yours, dear
but I can't
And I could take Paris any day, man

And it's so refreshing to see you ?? again
And it hasn't been long, but do you miss me?
I know it hasn't been long, but do you miss me?

And what did you say that time?
Oh wait, it was nothing honey
Didn't you say that it was nothing, that was that?
I could pretend you loved me more dear
until you pretend you can't ignore it

But some day your gonna carry these regrets
and say that nothing sure was something else
And you say ?? if I knew then what I know now
I'd never believe the things that ya told me
No I never believed all the shit that ya told me

I could be yours dear
but I can't
And I could take 'em on
I guess that I had to laugh for just a minute
And I could be yours dear
but I can't

They say princes come in bushels
and they grow on trees like apples
and I fish in the ocean
It's okay to go fish
Well I never meant you were like a fish
I always thought that you had pearls and stuff inside

But they say that I'm too young to have loved you like your best
Do you believe them all?
I guess I knew in the time you shook your head at me it meant
love's not ageless
It's jailbait
No, love's not ageless
It's jalbait

Oh I could be yours dear
but I can't
And I could be yours dear
but I can't
And as for Paris, we could take her any day
