You grew up in the city, a high society girl
And even this backwoods boy can tell you're a woman of the world
'Cause I get weak when I hear you speak the way they do in France
Well I'm sure you've heard these fancy words but I got to take a chance

Oh s'il vous plait pardonne me, I can help myself

If you can't see this love in me then scuse moi my heart

The one thing you can't place yourself above
Oh don’t allow your social pride to keep our dreams apart
If you can't see this love in me then scuse moi my heart

Darling j’ai vous aimes beaucoup, it's you and no one else
Forgive me if I say it wrong but I just ain't that smart
If you can't see this love in me then 'scuse' moi my heart
If you can't see this love in me then 'scuse' moi my h
