This Smells Like Paris by August Kann Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The windows are open and we all agree that they should be
There's ice tea on the table and we’re laughing of something we misunderstood
People are coming and going
The days and sun are too
And your girl says she loves you
And it's the time of year
When you say you love her too
[Chorus]
And this smells like Paris
And this smells like rain and I said
Just wait a minute boys
I need my umbrella
And you laugh and you say
What do you say now?
An umbrella?
Just let it rain
Look at us, we're soaking
You don’t see us complaining
Put a smile on, they say
So I do and I say
There's no place I'd rather be
Than right here with you
[Verse 2]
Playing ping pong in a park and climbing trees when it gets dark
Buy a bicycle in Berlin and ride all the way home to
Your new house with flowers to your girl and a bottle of gin and
And there's beach boys on the radio who's confirming all of our thoughts
And we're not even smiling, 'cause we know we're all in the same boat
[Chorus]
And this smells like Paris
And this smells like rain and I said
Just wait a minute boys
I need my umbrella
And you laugh and you say
What do you say now?
An umbrella?
Just let it rain
Look at Freddy, he’s drowning
And you don’t see him complaining
Put a smile on, they say
So I do and I say
There's no place I’d rather be
Than right here with you
[Bridge]
And I don't know what day it is
And you say who cares, do you?
And I laugh when I say this
But I mean it when I tell you
That I, that I love you
[Chorus]
And this smells like Paris
And this smells like rain and I said
Just wait a minute boys
I need my umbrella
And this smells like Paris
And this smells like rain and I say
Just wait a minute boys
I need my umbrella
And you laugh and you say
What do you say now
An umbrella
Just let it rain
Look at us, we're soaking
You don't see us complaining
What do you say now
An umbrella
Just let it rain
Look at Freddy, he’s drowning
And you don't see him complaining
Put a smile on, they say
So I do and I say
There's no place I'd rather be
Than right here with you
The windows are open and we all agree that they should be
There's ice tea on the table and we’re laughing of something we misunderstood
People are coming and going
The days and sun are too
And your girl says she loves you
And it's the time of year
When you say you love her too
[Chorus]
And this smells like Paris
And this smells like rain and I said
Just wait a minute boys
I need my umbrella
And you laugh and you say
What do you say now?
An umbrella?
Just let it rain
Look at us, we're soaking
You don’t see us complaining
Put a smile on, they say
So I do and I say
There's no place I'd rather be
Than right here with you
