Lyrics for Under Paris Skies

Stranger beware There's love in the air Under Paris skies Try to be smart And don't let your heart catch on fire Love becomes king The moment it's Spring under Paris skies Lonely hearts meet Somewhere on the street of desire Parisian love can bloom High in a skylight room Or in a gay cafe where hundreds of people can see I wasn't smart And I lost my heart under Paris skies Don't ever be a heartbroken stranger like me Oh, I fell in love Yes, I was a fool For Paris can be So beautifully cruel Paris is just a gay coquette Who wants to love and then regret Stranger beware there's love in the air Just look and see what happened to me under Paris skies Watch what you do The same thing can happen to you Just look and see what happened to me under Paris skies Watch what you do The same thing can happen to you
