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
