Springtime in Paris it was late in the night

and, I was looking round at all the usual sights

suddenly there right in front of my eyes

I saw this girl and I sighed je t'aime



Felt my passion rising as I watched her go by

I speak a little francais so I gave it a try

I was confused - she'd put my mind in a haze

then I remembered a phrase - je t'aime



Stay with me - mon chrie

maybe then

you'll say je t'aime

stay with me - please say oui

to a rendez-vous

je t'aime - means I love you



Parlez-vous anglais didn't bring no success

and she won't say her name or even write her address

don't wanna lose her in the Champs Elyses

only one thing I can say - je t'aime



Mademoiselle has got to me like no-one before

and I just wanna love her

and then love her some more

wish that I'd learnt - my lessons better at school

I'm standing here like a fool - je t'aime
