I dreamed that I found my love in France
The streetlights reflected my bright eyes
I wanted to eat croissant
Cycling around the Arc de Triomphe
Walking around the Sacré Coeur in a beret
Living a French romance

I just wanted to being French
Eat ice cream and drink wine
Look at the Eiffel Tower
I just wanted to being French
Smile at every sign of passion in the air
Spending my euros on chic and expensive clothes

Buy cocktails and go to clubs
Go to the Louvre Museum and see the Mona Lisa
And say: I'm more beautiful than you
Oh, Napoleon, what is it like to lose a great love?
What's it like to lose a big war?
What's it like to be forgotten?

I just wanted to being French
Eat ice cream and drink wine
Look at the Eiffel Tower
I just wanted to being French
Smile at every sign of passion in the air
Spending my euros on chic and expensive clothes

I won't be able to live this
I won't be able to smell French roses
I won't be able to feel truly loved
I won't be able to be French
I won't be able to love someone

I just wanted to being French
Eat ice cream and drink wine
Look at the Eiffel Tower
I just wanted to being French
Smile at every sign of passion in the air
Spending my euros on chic and expensive clothes

What is it like to be French?
What's it like to be a French friend?
