Paris
Fleur East Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a seat and order the wine
I'll get the special with you on the side
Baby one taste of dessert won't hurt, oh-la-la
My apartment is an hour away
Call the taxi we can stop on the way
Back to your hotel and I won't tell, oh-la-la

Oh-la-la-la-la-la, we ain't talking about marriage

Oh-la-la-la-la-la, just give me one night in Paris
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Take me anywhere you like tonight
Just give me one night in Paris
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
Just give me one night in Paris

We ain't even at the hotel yet
And I already wanna do it again
From the backseat to the bed sheets, oh-la-la
I check the clock and it's a quarter to 4
It's deja vu feel like I've been here before
Got my lipstick on the cigarette
Un, deux, trois!

Oh-la-la
Oh-la-la-la-la-la, we ain't talking about marriage
Oh-la-la-la-la-la, just give me one night in Paris
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Take me anywhere you like tonight
Just give me one night in Paris
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
Just give me one night in Paris

I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't care if we don't see sunrise
You can take me anywhere you like
You can show me Paris tonight
Dans la nuit avec moi ce soir!

Oh-la-la-la-la-la, we ain't talking about marriage
Oh-la-la-la-la-la, just give me one night in Paris
Kiss me once, kiss me twice
Take me anywhere you like tonight
Just give me one night in Paris
Kiss me once, kiss me twice

Doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
Just give me one night in Paris

She urges him to take a seat, order wine and enjoy a meal with her. She then suggests they head back to his hotel, while also indicating that her apartment is an hour away. The woman promises to make the night unforgettable for her suitor and whispers, "Oh-la-la" throughout the song.
