Lyrics
Baby, say goodnight,
Text me when you get home safely.
Like you always did,
When we was first dating.
You sitting in your office,
Dreaming of a different life.
You say you wanna make me smile,
And see my wild side.
If we don't leave town now,
We're never gonna get out of here alive.
I'm walking home from school,
My thoughts are drifting into space.
Why don't we leave tonight,
And take off to a different place?
Don't tell my daddy why,
Gotta get on that place and just fly.
Take me to Paris,
Let's go there,
And never look back!
Paris, we can be,
Crazy like that.
You're such a naughty boy!
Why you taking that Polaroid?
Put on a show you'll enjoy.
Take me to Paris.
(Ooh la la, ooh la la).
I wanna be that fantasy,
That you got on your mind.
Flying across the sea,
To somewhere that they'll never find.
We should go out we're young,
'Cause one day we will want to rewind.
Our time in Paris,
Take me to,
Yves St. Laurent,
Paris, make out,
In a dark restaurant.
We'll dance until we die,
Wanna go out every night,
Promise we won't say goodbye.
Take me to Paris,
Let's go there,
And never look back!
Paris, we can be,
Crazy like that.
You're such a naughty boy!
Why you taking that Polaroid?
Put on a show you'll enjoy.
Take me to Paris.
(Ooh la la, ooh la la).
Walking through the streets at dawn,
We dance by empty carousels.
Singing at the Sacré-Cœur ,
And climbing up the Tour Eiffel.
Under the stars,
We are, we are dreaming.
(Of Paris, ooh)!
You're such a naughty boy!
Why you taking that Polaroid?
Put on a show you'll enjoy.
Take me to Paris.
Take me to Paris, (come on)!
Take me to Yves St. Laurent,
(Let's go), Paris, make out,
In a dark restaurant.
We'll dance until we die, (mhm),
Wanna go out every night, (let's go),
Promise we won't say goodbye.
Take me to Paris.
(Ooh la la, ooh la la).
Baby, say goodnight,
Text me when you get home safely.
Like you always did,
When we was first dating.
