Ne Me Quitte Pas

by Regina Spektor

Down in Paris they lose their ballas and their lipdamales in the night

And stumbling through the street they say, Sir do you have a light?

And if you do then you're my friend

And if you don't then you're my foe

And if you are a diety of any sort then please don't go

Ne Me QuitteR Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitte Pas ah ah ah

Ne Me Quitte Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitte Pas

Down in Lexington they walk in new shoes stuck to aging feet

And close their eyes and open

and recognize the aging street

And think about the things were right

when they were young and veins were tight

And if you are the ghost of Christmas past

then won't you stay the night

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas ah ah ah

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas ooh ooh ooh

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas ah ah ah

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas

Down in Bronxy Bronx the kids go sledding

down snow covered slopes and frozen noses, frozen toes

And the frozen city starts to glow

And yes they know it will pass

And yes they know New York will thaw

But if you're a friend of any sort

Then play along and catch a cold

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas ah ah ah

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas ooh ooh ooh

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas ah ah ah

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas

I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain

I love I love I Love in the rain

I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain

And I Love I love I love in the rain

I love I love I love in the rain

Down in Paris they walk fast

That is unless they're walking slow

And in cafe's they look away

that is unless they look right in

And in the corners I'm getting lost

that is unless I'm getting found

And if you are the ghost of New York City

then won't you stick around

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas ah ah ah

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas ooh ooh ooh

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas ah ah ah

Ne Me Quitter Pas mon cher

Ne Me Quitter Pas

I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain

I love I love I love in the rain

I love Paris in the rain, I love Paris in the rain

I love I love I love in the rain

And I love I love I love in the rain...
