Paris Nights - George Baker

Love is for the happy people

Love stays only for awhile

Here I am

Walking the streets of Monmartre

What to do

Where to go

To survive

In the city of lights…

Paris nights

Sitting in a cafe drinking wine

Paris nights

Don’t know what to do here

With my time… no

Down the Champs Elysee

I know every cabaret

Every nightbar

Doing right

Doing wrong

I know every dirty song

From the sidewalks

Paris nights

Watching the life that

Once was mine

Paris nights

Once I had it all

Like house and wife, hah

Come to drink cherry wine

Won’t you help me one more time

Feel the nightlife

When I can’t see that clear

I pretend that she’s here

And it’s alright…

Paris nights

Music, dancing, people

Filled with smiles

Paris nights

Red-light ladies waiting

For a ride

Cheap motel, cracking beds

For one hour I forget

All the reasons… why

So I’m paying the price

And I look into their eyes

For the reasons… why

It was only love

It was only love

That broke my heart

Come on, honey

Give it to me one more time

Yes, I’ll be good to you

I’ll be good to you
