Lyrics

[00:02.880]
[00:14.990] You talk like Marlene Dietrich
[00:18.830] And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
[00:22.850] Your clothes are all made by Balmain
[00:26.950] And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are
[00:31.170]
[00:33.090] You live in a fancy apartment
[00:37.260] Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel
[00:41.180] Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
[00:45.320] And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do
[00:49.520]
[00:51.410] But where do you go to my lovely
[00:56.090] When you're alone in your bed
[01:00.080] Tell me the thoughts that surround you
[01:04.160] I want to look inside your head, yes I do
[01:08.270]
[01:10.040] I've seen all your qualifications
[01:14.230] You got from the Sorbonne
[01:18.290] And the painting you stole from Picasso
[01:22.610] Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does
[01:28.040]
[01:28.520] When you go on your summer vacation
[01:32.790] You go to Juan-les-Pins
[01:36.690] With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
[01:40.870] You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs
[01:46.240]
[01:46.990] And when the snow falls you're found in Saint Moritz
[01:51.090] With the others of the jet-set
[01:54.900] And you sip your Napoleon brandy
[01:59.320] But you never get your lips wet, no you don't
[02:03.260]
[02:05.460] But where do you go to my lovely
[02:09.700] When you're alone in your bed
[02:13.570] Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
[02:18.050] I want to look inside your head, yes I do
[02:22.570]
[02:23.780] Your name, it is heard in high places
[02:28.170] You know the Aga Khan
[02:32.120] He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
[02:36.160] And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh a-ha-ha-ha
[02:42.200]
[02:42.480] They say that when you get married
[02:46.520] It'll be to a millionaire
[02:50.600] But they don't realize where you came from
[02:54.580] And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
[02:59.710]
[03:01.060] Where do you go to my lovely
[03:05.200] When you're alone in your bed
[03:09.360] Tell me the thoughts that surround you
[03:13.400] I want to look inside your head, yes I do
[03:17.890]
[03:18.770] I remember the back streets of Naples
[03:23.610] Two children begging in rags
[03:27.660] Both touched with a burning ambition
[03:32.150] To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try
[03:37.060]
[03:37.450] So look into my face Marie-Claire
[03:42.270] And remember just who you are
[03:46.370] Then go and forget me forever
[03:50.550] But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do
[03:56.640]
[03:56.910] I know where you go to my lovely
[04:01.250] When you're alone in your bed
[04:05.490] I know the thoughts that surround you
[04:09.230] 'Cause I can look inside your head
[04:18.830]
[04:23.430] (na na-na-na na na-na-na na-na na na na na)
