Where Do You Go to My Lovely Songtext
von Sandra McCracken

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there′s diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes they are

You live in a fancy apartment
Of the Boulevard of St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do

You go to the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek
And the young men who move in your circle
They hang on every word that you speak

But where do you go to, my lovely?
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do


I′ve seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

And when the snow falls you found in St. Moritz
With the others, I've ejected
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no, you don't

But where do you go to, my lovely?
When you′re alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Your name is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh

So where do you go to, my lovely?
When you′re alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do


I remember the backstreets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly born tags, yes they try

So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do

I know where you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
′Cause I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head
