’Scuse Moi My Heart

You grew up in the city
A high society girl
And even this backwoods boy can tell
You're a woman of the world

'Cause I get weak when I hear you speak
The way they do in France
Well, I'm sure you've heard these fancy words
But I've got to take my chance

Oh si vou plait, pardonne me, I can't help myself
Darling je vous aimes beaucoup, it's you and no one else
Forgive me if I say it wrong, but I just ain't that smart
If you can't see this love in me, then 'scuse moi my heart

I showed up in New Orleans
With all I own on my back
I got me a job at the country club
On the rich side of the track

Then you came in with your jet set friends
That you meet in Paris
Well now they're gone and you're alone
Looking straight at me

Oh si vou plait, pardonne me, I can't help myself
Darling je vous aimes beaucoup, it's you and no one else
Forgive me if I say it wrong, but I just ain't that smart
If you can't see this love in me, then 'scuse moi my heart

Why can't we try the language of love?
The one thing you can't place yourself above
Don't allow your social pride to keep our dreams apart
If you can't see this love in me, then 'scuse moi my heart

Oh si vou plait, pardonne me, I can't help myself
Darling je vous aimes beaucoup, it's you and no one else
Forgive me if I say it wrong, but I just ain't that smart
If you can't see this love in me, then 'scuse moi my heart
