I'm leaving for Paris, no I don't think that I'll see you
I'm leaving for Paris, no I don't think that I need to
So I'm leaving for Paris
Won't you try to take care of yourself?

I pray you won't follow through the crooked streets behind me
I pray you won't follow, like so many who've known me
So I'm leaving for Paris
Don't you try to find out where I am
Just you try to take care of yourself

And when I get there, I will loose the ring you gave me
And when I get there, how happy I will then be
So I'm leaving for Paris
Won't you try to take care of yourself?
Just to try to take care of yourself

'Cause I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving
'Cause I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving for Paris
Goodbye
