What are you looking at, lover boy?
It won't do you any good
Cause I know your kind
If you wanna be mine
We gotta get this understood

Oh, I'm not gonna be your, be your lover du jour
Your special off the day, no way, I'll do farewell, bonjour
Pardon my French
But there's no chance in the hell for you, for sure
If you think I will be, I'll be your lover du jour
Pas moi, not me!

I am well aware of your good looks and sexy ways
Serving up yourself to girls to satisfy your taste
The fresh catch of the day on your Romeo buffet
Served up hot and ready just having it your way

Well, if I'm on the menu
You'd better get this straight (Lover du jour)
Me and you had better come to terms before you grab your plate
Don't need one place to order if you believe that I
I'm just some cheesy little dish, just another chickie pie

Oh, I'm not gonna be your, be your lover du jour
The flavor of the day, no way, I'll do farewell, bonjour
Pardon my French, but there's no chance in the hell that I'll endure
The fact that I would only be your lover du jour

Oubliez-moi! Forget me!
Still looking, lover boy?
Have you changed your view?
I told you once, I'll say it again
I'll take no merit from you!
That's crap!

If you want something appetizing
Something real and satisfying
I'll be worth a second look, but that's the only way!

Cause, I'm not gonna be your, be your l'amour du jour
Your playmate of the day, no way, I'll do farewell, bonjour
Cause I won't be caught up in all your charm and your allure
No, I'm not gonna be your, be your lover du jour

No, I'm not gonna be your, be your lover du jour
The special off the day, no way, I'll do farewell, bonjour
Pardon my French, but there's no chance in the hell that I'll endure
The fact that I would only be your lover du jour
No, I'm not gonna be your, be your lover du jour
Your lover du jour
Mmmm, c'est domage, too bad

No, I am not for your amusement
I am not a toy, you are nothing but trouble
You are a bad bad boy! (l'amour du jour)
I am a tasty starter around a full course meal
Desert half after dinner drink, and you can have your fill
Pardon my French ...
Tu ne causes que des ennuis, tu es un mauvais garçon
Any questions?

Aw, my French is awful but my love is awesome
They're gonna laugh at me in France, sorry...

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
