Excuse My French

Caro Emerald · The Shocking Miss Emerald [2013]

I don't know what you must be on

You walked in like the Aga Khan

Did you fly in on a jet?

Win a million dollar bet?

So let me get my good shoes on



I wanna follow in the same old steps (oh)

Where you waltz around like you're the best (oh)

Where you garden blooms in May

But it's snowing every day

'Cause you have everything you want



You must be (you must be)

The Houdini in my life

But you can't see (but you can't see)

I could never be your wife



'Cause I'm still a lady

No, I'm not some wench

That falls for your your lines

I'm not on the fence

Your routine is fading and boy

I could use a wrench

I know my words won't fail me

Please excuse my French

(Pardonne-moi)



Today you think you're Errol Flynn

Sharing stories where you think you've been (where you've been)

Your style must be cramped (cramped)

Without a passport stamp

Can't you see the twister that you're in (I'm in a twister and)



Why drown inside a sea of words

You're goin' under now, you won't get heard

So just give it a rest

This time your more is less

You're goin' solo in this dream



You must be (you must be)

The Houdini in my life (the Houdini in my life)

But you can't see (but you can't see)

I could never be your wife



'Cause I'm still a lady

No, I'm not some wench

That falls for your your lines

I'm not on the fence

Your routine is fading

Boy, I could use a wrench

I know my words won't fail me

Please excuse my French
