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
(instrumental)
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
(spoken)
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
Instrumental...till fade
