hyacinths go well with fractured cobblestones
shutters always match the window boxes
the women that sit behind balconies
have higher cheekbones than I
their fingernails lack the dirt fixed underneath mine
but what do they know
what do the girls in Paris know
and I would like to know
what the girls in Paris know
they’re fastening their two toned shoes at night
always baring shoulders and wearing tights
feeling palm lines of a lover across the table
I bet later on he’ll trace the notches in her spine
but what do they know
what do the girls in paris know
and I would like to know
what the girls in paris know
maybe it’s the way they pronounce arrondissement
si je parle français, je serai une fille de Paris
but what do they know
what do the girls in paris know
and I would like to know
what the girls in Paris know
what the girls in Paris know
