I'm Leaving for Paris Songtext
von Rufus Wainwright

I'm leaving for Paris, no I don't think that I'll see you
I'm leaving for Paris, no I don't think that I need to
So I'm leaving for Paris, won't you try to take care of yourself
Just you try to take care of yourself, 'cause I'm leaving
Yes, I'm leaving for Paris


I pray you won't follow through the crooked streets behind me
I pray you won't follow, like so many who've known me
So I'm leaving for Paris, don't you try to find out where I am
Just you try to take care of yourself

And when I get there, I will lose the ring you gave me
And when I get there, how happy I will then be
So I'm leaving for Paris
Won't you try to take care of yourself
Just you try to take care of yourself
'Cause I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving
'Cause I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving for Paris
Goodbye
