I've somehow gotten lost
_____
Got no clue where I'm headed
_____
Standing with my little suitcase
_____
Here on the Champs-Élysées
_____
Suddenly you speak to me
_____
"Salut, qu'est-ce que vous cherchez?"
_____
I say, "Par-don, I'm sorry
_____
I just can't understand you."
_____
But you keep on talking
_____
I kinda find it charming
_____
And draw two cups of coffee
_____
With a pen on your hand
_____
I don't speak French
_____
Somehow sounds kinda nice
_____
And time just freezes
_____
I wish I could understand you
_____
I don't speak French
_____
la la la la la la la la la
_____
la la la la la la la la la
_____
Your long wild hair
_____
The little scar on your face
_____
Even the dust on your jeans
_____
Has flair whenever you speak
_____
The cigarette tastes like liberté
_____
As long as we share it
_____
You speak in body language
_____
And I listen between your lines
_____
I'm hanging on your lips
_____
I don't wanna leave anymore
_____
And you talk and talk
_____
Yet I don't get a word
_____
I don't speak French
_____
Somehow sounds kinda nice
_____
And time just freezes
_____
I wish I could understand you
_____
I don't speak French
_____
la la la la la la la la la
_____
la la la la la la la la la
_____
The sun drops behind the houses
_____
Ships pass us by
_____
That the moment stays a bit longer
_____
Around us, a thousand people
_____
They all talk at once
_____
But the language we're speaking
_____
Only we two understand
_____
I don't speak French
_____
Everything you keep saying
_____
Somehow sounds kinda nice
_____
And time just freezes
_____
I wish I could understand you
_____
I don't speak French
_____
la la la la la la la la la
_____
la la la la la la la la la
_____
la la la la la la la la la
_____
la la la la la la la la la
