[Intro]
Baby, say goodnight
Text me when you get home safely
Like you always did when we was first dating

[Verse 1]
You're sittin' in your office, dreamin' of a different life
You say you wanna make me smile and see my wild side
If we don't leave town now
We're never gonna get out of here alive
I'm walkin' home from school
My thoughts are drifting into space
Why don't we leave tonight
And take off to a different place?
Don't tell my daddy why
Gotta get on that plane and just fly

[Chorus 1]
Take me to Paris
Let's go there and never look back
Paris (ooh), we can be crazy like that
You're such a naughty boy
Why you taking that Polaroid?
Put on a show you'll enjoy
Take me to Paris
(Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la)
(Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la)

[Verse 2]
I wanna be that fantasy that you got on your mind
Flying across the sea to somewhere that they'll never find
We should go while we're young
'Cause one day, we will want to rewind

[Chorus 2]
To our time in Paris
Take me to Yves Saint Laurent
Paris (ooh), make out in a dark restaurant
We'll dance until we die
Why not go out every night?
Promise we won't say goodbye

[Chorus 1]
Take me to Paris
Let's go there and never look back
Paris (ooh), we can be crazy like that
You're such a naughty boy
Why you taking that Polaroid?
Put on a show you'll enjoy
Take me to Paris
(Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la)
(Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la)

[Bridge]
Walking through the streets at dawn
We dance by empty carousels
Singin' at the Sacré-Cœur
And climbing up the Tour Eiffel
Under the stars, we are, we are
Dreaming (of Paris)

[Breakdown]
You're such a naughty boy
Why you taking that Polaroid?
Put on a show you'll enjoy

[Chorus 2]
Take me to Paris (ooh)
Take me to Yves Saint Laurent
It's Paris (ooh), make out in a dark restaurant
We'll dance until we die
Why not go out every night?
Promise we won't say goodbye
Take me to Paris
(Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la)
(Ooh, la-la, ooh, la-la)

[Outro]
Baby, say goodnight
Text me when you get home safely
Like you always did when we was first dating
