Free Man In Paris

The way I see it

He said you just can't win it

Everybody's in it for their own gain

You can't please them all

There's always somebody callin you down

I do my best and I do good business

There's alot of people askin for my time

They're trying to get ahead

They're trying to be a good friend of mine



I was a free man in Paris

I felt unfettered and alive

There was nobody callin me up for favors

And no one's future to decide

You know I'd go back there tomorrow

But for the work I've taken on

Stokin the star maker machinery behind the popular song



I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers

Lately I wonder what I do it for

If I had my way, I'd just walk through those doors

And wander down the Champs-Ä‚‰lysÄ‚Šes

Goin' cafÄ‚Š to cabaret

Thinkin how I'd feel when I find that very good friend of mine



I was a free man in Paris

I felt unfettered and alive

Nobody was callin me up for favors

No one's future to decide

You know I'd go back there tomorrow

But for the work I've taken on

Stokin the star maker machinery behind the popular song
