Parisian Plight II Lyrics

Oh the city of a lover was a crystal jewel
As it lay beneath the wing
And I was on my way to a love so true
That I wanted to shout and sing
My mind raced ahead of that double armed jet
As it roared through the open sky, yeah
And all that I could think of was holding you then
And hearing your gentle sighs
Your breath and your kiss could take away
Well all of this mental strife
I've been away for two long weeks
Lord, it seemed, seemed like all of my life

Oh my lady fair, we made love right there
And now you do not care
And I don't wanna have to bear the thought
The thought, the thought, the thought
Of you not, no, being there
And I do not want to be
Don't ever wanna be left alone
You know, you know it's making me feel so sad
Yeah make me feel bad

These lights in the city were burning bright
I was coming in at eighteen thousand feet, oh yeah
Oh I knew that you were gonna be there
And I just couldn't keep in my
I couldn't keep in my seat, yeah
I knew that you wanted to see me
Like I wanted to see you too, yeah
When I got there, the place was bare
And I could not believe it was true
I came back that very same day
And I stayed long into the night
How I wished, my girl, that you could be there
I wished with all of my might

Oh my lady fair, we made love right there
And now you do not care
And I don't wanna have to bear the thought
The thought, the thought, the thought
Of you not, no, being there
And I do not want to be
Don't ever wanna be left alone
You know, you know it's making me feel so sad
Yeah make me feel bad

The city of a lover was a crystal jewel
As it lay 'neath the wing, whoa, oh yeah
And I was on my way to a love so true
That I wanted to shout and sing
My mind raced ahead of that double armed jet
As it roared through the open sky, yeah
And all that I could think of was holding you then
And hearing your gentle sighs
Your breath and your kiss could take away
Well all of this mental strife
I've been away for two long weeks
Lord, it seemed, seemed like all of my life

Oh my lady fair, we made love right there
And now you do not care
And I don't wanna have to bear the thought
The thought, the thought, the thought
Of you not, no, being there
And I do not want to be
Don't ever wanna be left alone
You know, you know it's making me feel so sad
Yeah make me feel bad

Lights in the city were burning bright
And I was coming in at eighteen thousand feet, oh yeah
And I knew that you were gonna be there
And I just couldn't keep in my
I couldn't keep in my seat, yeah
I knew that you wanted to see me
Child, I wanted to see you too, yeah
When I got there, the place was bare
And I could not believe it was true
I came back that very same day
And I stayed long into the night
How I wished, my girl, that you could be there
I wished with all of my might

Oh my lady fair, we made love right there
And now you do not care
And I don't wanna have to bear the thought
The thought, the thought, the thought
Of you not, no, being there
And I do not want to be
Don't ever wanna be left alone
You know, you know it's making me feel so sad
Woo, make me feel bad
