If I Was From Paris Lyrics

Un, deux, trois

Oh la la (x2)

You got me down on the floor
So what’d you bring me down here for? (x2)

Cause if I was a man I’d make my move
If I was a blade I’d shave you smooth
If I was a crow then I would caw
And if I was from Paris, if I was from Paris
I would go: oh-la-la-la-la-la-la, a-oh-la-la-la-la-la-la

Hey! You got me up on your swing
So when you gonna shake that thing?

Oh! If I was a man I’d make my move
And if I was a blade I’d shave you smooth
If I was a crow then I would caw
And if I was from Paris, if I was from Paris
I would go: oh-la-la-la-la-la-la, oh-la-la-la-la-la-la

[rocking break]

oh-la-la-la-la-la-la
You got me high as a kite
So we can kick it by candle light
You got me high as a kite
I said we can kick it by candle light

Cause if I was a man I’d make my move
If I was a blade I’d shave you smooth
If I was a crow then I would caw
And if I was from Paris, if I was from Paris
I would go: oh-la-la-la-la-la-la

The ones listed are correct. This is for the one that was a bonus track on This is Somewhere. The ones you listed are off their self-titled album which is a reworking of this song.

Exactly. +1 for knowing what your talking about! :P

Exactly. +1 for actually knowing what you're talking about lol. :P

If I a man I’d make my move If I was a blade I’d shave you smooth If I a judge I’d break the law And if I was from Paris If I was from Paris I would say Oooh la la la la lala

correct lyrics from their website. =]

btw, love this song and band, but the video from 'divas salute our troops' is the best! i think the line 'if i was a man, id make my move' sums it up the best. i think she's saying that you are acting like you want me, so take your shot before you miss it.
