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
