Paris

[Your Girl Lana 546]

Baby, say good night
Text me when you get home safely
Like you always did when we was first dating

You're 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

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 while 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

Walking through the streets at dawn
We dance by empty carousels
Singing about the Sacre Couer
And climbing up the Tour Eiffel
Under the stars we are, we are dreaming of Paris

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 Yves Saint 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

Baby, say good night
Text me when you get home safely
Like you always did when we was first dating

Thanks:) I will edt the lyrics...

[Monicker 3,035]

I'm still trying to figure out what tune it is that the music box is playing in the intro and outro. Does anyone know?? I NEED to know, it's killing me badly! I think it's a traditional French song. Do we have any French people on here?

Someone should tweet Guy or Liam to beg them for the tune.

:'(( Take me to paris!!!

Isn't this grammatically wrong? Or am I crazy? Love this song but the line just bothers me so much every time I hear it. It's so cute and also very sexy and naughty hah. Maybe I'm crazy and I've been using were my whole life and stuff whoops.

I think it's made for the song? It goes with the melody of the song and he she performs the first few lines.

[Tristesse 1,765]

It's made for the song, I think .. I'm French and it reminds me nothing

[xratedcuntxrated 71]

this song is so emotional for me... it gives me a different atmosphere... i love it. whenever i listen to it i feel like im in France. one of my favorites songs.

I believe that line is wrong too, but hey, at least it sounds cute

I think its ''Like you always did when we were first dating'' bc was is used for I, she, he, it and were for we, they and you

[Wryta Thinkpiece 3,344]

She says "Like you always did when we was," it's like the "ain't" of past-tenses; it's substandard English, and pretty much incorrect, but depending on where you go, you may hear it more/less often.

I never cared for it, more-so for the way the opening's sung, but it's definitely cute. Paris is so adorable, I'm in love with it otherwise.

[Bekim 2,576]

I was told that "We was first dating" is grammatically correct , but it's not used....


I love this song , it's so gay <33

For all the non-native English speakers (or anyone who failed first grade grammar), @@Stoop Kid is right. She does say "we was first dating", which is grammatically incorrect. (She also sometimes sings "we was born to die", also incorrectly.) I wouldn't take cues from Lana about English grammar rules since she routinely does ultraviolence to them. Remember, this girl became internet famous for a song that uses the incorrect superlative "bestest", switches between second and third person object pronouns referring to her lover at least four times (six if "you the bestest" is not a direct quotation), has dangling participles everywhere, and ends with an ambiguous implied infinitive for which it is not only ambiguous what its implied object is, but whether it even has one!

It looks weird in writing and the first time when you hear it, and you know it's wrong but does sound good. And you do have a point about her playing with grammar, and I think she does it nicely sometimes when you're not really thinking much about it. (I'm sure she knows it's wrong.)

[Sitar 22,213]

Guys it's as simple as her thinking she's a retro glam bitch. "Was" replacing "were" was definitely a conscious decision to sound more...like Reba? Old-fashioned America. The South. You get it. I have a neighbor who abuses this like crazy.

For Paris she musically quotes Debussy Clair De Lune (in the beginning and end of Paris).

 

[Dominikx4 25,413]

 

Can we please talk about Paris

 

Like, how did Lana manage to make this 4-chord-song but it doesn't sound basic af

the lyrics

the melody

the vocals

 

This song makes me wanna get a daddy and go to Paris with him really,

 

and ofc the godlike bridge

 

"Singing at the sacre-coeur and climbing up the tour eiffel
under the stars, we are, we are

dreaming" 

 

and then the whispered "of Paris".

It makes me wet every time. But I never see anyone praising it, it's really an underrated bop. My absolute favorite from her unreleased catalogue.

[CALIFORNIA DRIVE 265]

all of her unreleased songs are masterpieces
